Activities at Sycamore 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.
We understand that the people we support have passions and interests that could be difficult to pursue after moving into a care home – but that doesn’t mean we don’t encourage them to try! Some hobbies can define a person, so our Activities Coordinators are dedicated to ensuring that everyone we support is able to do what makes them happy to the best of their abilities. Social events are organised with individual tastes in mind and with the idea that residents have the opportunity to try new and exciting things.
Lynette Allen
I first worked in the care sector in 2016. I have since gained a wealth of experience in dedicated dementia and residential activities, where I was an Activities Coordinator.
The largest and best part of my role was to ensure my residents were engaged in meaningful activities on a daily basis. I do this by taking into account their life history, their interests, likes and dislikes in order to promote their wellbeing currently and for the future. Liaising with family, friends and members of the community is also part of my role and it offers continuity to the lives of our residents. I love giving people a purpose and enabling our residents to do as much as possible of the things they love to do.
I cannot wait to welcome our residents into their wonderful new home and help to bring smiles, joy and laughter to each day.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Sycamore Grove Care Home
Pie 'N' a Pint night at Sycamore Grove
What a fantastic evening! Our Pie and a Pint night at Sycamore Grove was a resounding success! We enjoyed mouth-watering pies, refreshing pints, and most importantly, wonderful company. It was lovely to see everyone enjoying themselves and creating such a warm and vibrant atmosphere.
A visit from the Cub Scouts
A huge thank you to the wonderful 1st Anderida Cub Scouts for visiting Sycamore Grove!
Our residents thoroughly enjoyed their evening filled with lively songs, engaging activities such as a Cub Scot word search and the bright energy of the Scouts. It was a truly heartwarming experience for everyone. We look forward to seeing you all again!

National Chocolate Cake Day
Chocolate cake has been around since 1764, so this week we celebrated National Chocolate Cake Day! Nettie, Barbara and Brenda rolled up their sleeves and got stuck into the ingredients but instead of making cakes, they made delicious truffle cookies instead! These were a big hit and gone in a flash. Thank you ladies.

Margaret turns 102!
Our wonderful Margaret celebrated her 102nd birthday surrounded by loved ones. Margaret has lived at Sycamore Grove for almost two years now and wanted a low-key birthday this year. You may remember her in the news last year when she went to play snooker with a local celebrity player, however this year was a little different. Margaret and her family celebrated in the home and her favourite singer Steve Dunnett came to entertain her and the other residents. She had a dance with her son followed by staff and residents singing Happy Birthday then a delicious cream tea whipped together by the home's chef as well as some of the residents home baked scones.
