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.

We are open.....

Last week we  opened in style.....our very special VIP opening was performed by Deputy Lieutenant of Berkshire, Susan Roberts, in front of invited guests from local businesses and community organisations.

Barchester’s General Counsel and Director of Quality, Risk and Compliance, Mike O’Reilly, and General Manager, Jodie Lunnon, hosted the event and invited guests to view the stunning new 64 bed care home, along with its beautiful landscaped gardens, which is now open and welcoming its first residents.

The home has been designed with residents’ comfort in mind and the team at Stoneham Grove will offer residential support, respite stays and specialised dementia care, all delivered by a dedicated and passionate team of trained professionals.

Our Rainbow Table has arrived!

Our rainbow table is up an running and we are so excited to start using it with our residents. This table is full of wonderful benefits and here are just some of those: Positive effect upon well-being by improving mood, reducing apathy and restlessness, as well as increasing engagement levels especially across the mid-to-late stages of dementia. Increased physical social and cognitive activity. Increased positive emotion and reduction of withdrawn-like symptoms.An added benefit of our mobile Rainbow Table is that our residents can utilise it anywhere in our home; lounges, coffee area, the garden or even bedrooms – the fun will come to them!

A visit from Long Lane Primary School

We would like to say a big thank you to the children and teachers at Long Lane Primary School who have supported us here at Stoneham Grove to name our communities within the home. 

They all came for a visit recently to the areas they had named and share with us the results! Everyone enjoyed the visit and of course the chocolate cake! 

Cheese and Wine Evening

We had a very successful cheese and wine evening here at Stoneham Grove to thank our local neighbours for their patience during the build of the home. It was a wonderful chance to meet people and give people a sneak peek tour of our home. 

Our fabulous Head Chef Peter received a lot of compliments and so did the rest of the team for their efforts on the evening.
