Activities at Stoneham Grove 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 are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.

In my free time, I enjoy travelling, dancing, quizzing and playing board games with my  family and friends.

Those magnificent men in their flying machines...

We love getting out and about in mini bus.... yesterday we visited the Museum of Berkshire Aviation
Berkshire's dynamic contribution to aviation history is graphically recaptured at the museum. Run as a charitable trust, the museum is at the historic site of Woodley Airfield, near Reading
Once, the centre of a thriving aircraft industry. Miles and Handley Page aircraft built at Woodley are being re-constructed and exhibited along with fascinating pictorial records and priceless archives.
The residents had an amazing time chatting, reminiscing and looking at the interesting exhibits

Well, we couldn't resist.... Although it's not National Ice-cream day until Sunday, but we thought we'd ask the ice cream van to visit us earlier this week so we could cool down whilst it was hot
What a delicious treat.... What's your favourite topping? Strawberry, chocolate, caramel ?
