Activities at Station Court Care Home
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
Tea in the Paddock
Our horse loving residents had a ‘neighly’ great time out on our mini bus to quirky restaurant, Tea in the Paddock. Enjoying lunch with scenic countryside views before the ‘mane’ event and visiting the paddock to meet and pet all the horses residing there, and learnt of each horse talents and quirks from their owners.
Our summer outings programme is ensuring everyone in our home get out and about experiencing adventures suited to their interests during the summer months.
Summer Fair
Wow what a brilliant day we all had at our annual summer fair, it is always fantastic to have so many family and friends joining us for events.
With the weather on our side there was something for everyone out in our garden. With live entertainment from singing swing entertainer Michael Stevens having us singing and dancing the afternoon away, we had a visit from Tommy’s Ices for summer treats, Mystic Lynn telling the future, yummy treats and baked goods on offer and fun stalls and games too.
Not only was it a fantastic day for us all but we also raised £300 for our resident fund, enabling our residents to continue to celebrate life to the full!
Mayfair of Nightingales
Residents across our services had a fantastic time joining Mandy Morrow for a virtual walking tour to learn about the ‘Herstory’ of Mayfair. The Mayfair of Nightingales may be long gone but it still holds a 20th century charm. Birthplace to the late Queen Elizabeth II, home to one of WWII's most decorated female war heroes and a tale of a wealthy Aristocrat and one of France's favourite designers.
We were delighted to take a walk down memory lane and discover stories from one of London's most iconic areas. The experience was truly enjoyed by all.
Picnic Party
We all had a brilliant day with family and friends joining us for our picnic party with live entertainment from singing swing vocalist Michal Stevens having us all singing along and dancing the afternoon away together, feasting on summer picnic foods and everyone enjoyed a visit from Tommy’s Ices ice-cream van and enjoyed a 99 while listening to the thunder .. the British weather may not of been on our side but that sure didn’t put a dampen on our day!
Sponsored Climb
Our activities coordinator, Carly Chesney made it to the top of the highest mountain in the UK, climbing 1,345 m and battling the Scottish weather to fly our Station Court flag at the peak of Ben Nevis!
Raising an amazing total of £605 for our resident fund which will assist our residents on exciting adventures throughout summer and truly celebrate life at Station Court. A big thank you to all our sponsors!
Fish & Chips 'Fryday'
Our gents had a brilliant day out on our mini bus taking in the sights along the coast, visiting St Mary’s lighthouse and Whitley Bay before having fish and chips straight from the box taking in the sea air and spectacular views at Tynemouth priory.
We couldn’t agree more with one of our gents who said ‘’ There’s no trouble in the world when you’re sitting here’’
