Activities at Tandridge Heights Care Home
Our qualified and dedicated activities staff plan and implement all activities within the home. We try our best to arrange activities that reflect our residents interests and capabilities as best as possible, and encourage them to participate in any way they can. We also encourage relatives to join with activities and events as often as they can. We try to keep our residents active and happy.
Our activities include trips to garden centres, pubs, the cinema or the local theatre. We have many fun games like carpet bowls, Play Your Cards Right or armchair exercises. There are many musical events, singalongs, garden parties and tea parties for everyone to enjoy as well!
Kelly Sherwin
I started at Tandridge Heights in 2020. Previous to this, I have been working as a carer sine 2010, which has helped me to understand the needs, wants and the individuality of all of our residents.
My main responsibility is provide a varied and engaging activities schedule every day for our residents; this helps to keep them involved in social and uplifting activities. We love to have parties to celebrate birthdays, national days and special occasions.

Life at Tandridge Heights Care Home
A Visit to Haskins Garden Centre
Residents are loving our regular weekly trips out in to the community. We recently visited Haskins Garden Centre in Crawley and had a delicious lunch in their café. We also chose some beautiful flowers and vegetable plants to grow on our terraces, which are currently having a makeover by our Gardening Club.
Residents are growing tomato plants, a selection of different herbs and we’ve recently planted some honey suckle which we hope will grow over the canopies to help create our sensory areas.
A Performance from Andy Mace
Tandridge Heights recently welcomed Andy Mace to come and sing for our residents. Andy was very interactive, telling jokes and getting to know our residents whilst also singing lots of sing along classics. Residents enjoyed singing and dancing, we had a really fun afternoon and we cannot wait to welcome him back next month.
A Trip to Biggin Hill airport
Residents recently enjoyed a day out at Biggin Hill airport, we had a delicious lunch in the lookout café and were lucky enough to see the spitfires taking off, which our residents were very excited about. We also had a lovely surprise when we bumped in to residents and staff from one of our sister homes.
Happy 100th Birthday Betty!
Our beautiful resident, Betty, celebrated her 100th birthday in style. Betty was joined by staff, relatives, friends and other residents as she received a telegram from the King in recognition of her landmark birthday. A champagne reception and afternoon tea was held at the home and guests enjoyed a special birthday cake made by the home’s chef Mel. The birthday girl said she really enjoyed her special day with her family and friends. Happy Birthday Betty!
An outing to Oaks Park
Residents recently enjoyed an outing to Oaks Park in Banstead. We had a delicious lunch in the parks café before enjoying a walk around the beautiful park and woods taking in the summer scents and sounds of the wildlife.
Cheese and Wine Afternoon
Residents spent an afternoon in the beautiful sunshine whilst enjoying a delicious Cheese and wine afternoon. We served a selection of different cheeses, crackers, chutneys and fruit alongside different red, white and rose wines. The wine and the conversations were flowing well. A lovely afternoon was had by all.
