Activities at Station Court Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
Activities make up the most important part of all our days, and at Station Court we ensure there are a variety of social events that reflect the individual interests and capabilities of people we support. All group and individual activities are designed to not only mentally and physically stimulate the people we care for, but to enhance their life skills and feelings of purpose and self worth. All of our team are committed to supporting a full activities programme within the home.

Life at Station Court Care Home
Halloween Skelebration
Mini monsters from the local community joined us in their costumes for a Halloween family fun day having a spooktacular time playing Halloween themed games and challenges, taking part in scavenger hunts, joining our pumpkin and painting party and feasting on eerie-istable treats.
Residents and staff had a ghoul at our monster mash party with Michaela performing Halloween hits live and a ‘fang’tastic afternoon joining our ‘terror-ific’ friends at full circle for a community Halloween tea party. Residents took a trip down memory lane with Sarah from Northumberland library sharing spooky stories and reminiscing of Halloween’s past with memorabilia.
Lest we forget
Residents joined a lovely remembrance service at Ashington memorial garden paying their respects with pride to remember together as a community before residents and staff came together at our ‘Bless Em’ All’ afternoon tea party, singing along to wartime classics on remembrance Sunday.
We commemorated remembrance day observing the 2 minute silence together reflecting on the service and sacrifice the armed forces have made and make for our today. We shared wartime stories with veterans residing at Station Court and celebrated life getting all shook up with Elvis impersonator Mike Memphis performing his GI Elvis show bringing us all together singing, dancing, swooning and being serenaded to hits from the King of Rock N’ Roll.
Royal Celebrations
We celebrated King Charles III birthday with a royal knees up party singing and dancing to songs from the Royal variety show and best of British hits.. everyone was in fits of laughter when his majesty and his family joined for disco dancing!
We celebrated our queen of the day, our resident ambassador Olive at her big birthday bash. With prosecco and beers flowing and entertainer and comedian Allen Cutler performing his one man music hall show having us all laughing, dancing, dressing up and singing along she sure marked her special day with a bang!

Residents across our services had a lovely time joining Emily and Marie-Therese from the Wallace Collection, for a virtual introduction to Reubens' Rainbow Landscape.
