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.

Burns Night celebrations
Embracing the Power of the Flower...
Our residents spent a wonderfully relaxing day this week celebrating International Flower Day, which is celebrated on the 19th January.
International Flower Day promotes the psychological boost that flowers can give to people. from growing and nurturing plants and flowers, to gifting flowers to show love and appreciation, and sometimes just the simple act of admiring their beauty, flowers have the power to make someone's day. Our ladies took part in a range of flower themed activities including flower arranging, reminiscing about their own gardens and their favourite flowers and finally a flower petal quiz which they all very much enjoyed.
Their collective floral knowledge gained from years of gardening experience was very impressive - Well done ladies!
A whole lot of Rock'n'Roll...
It's a full house for British Birds...
Our first christmas....
