Activities at Vecta House Care Home
Our activities team are great at building the activities programme around the likes and interests of the people we care for. Ensuring that our social events offer fun and adventure is part of the ethos of our home; it’s important that those we support can enjoy an active and social lifestyle. Of course, there will always be those who prefer peace and quiet, and in these instances, a cup of tea and a chat are always welcomed.

Hello, My name is Tanya and I am the Lifestyle Leader here at Vecta House.
I started work at Vecta in June 2018 as part of the housekeeping team. I have worked as part of Activities Team for over a year and have grown very passionate in ensuring our residents have stimulating, life enriching activities available every day. I feel proud knowing I have brought smiles and laughter to our residents and love working with the great team we have here at Vecta House.

Life at Vecta House Care Home
Food Donation
Here at Vecta House we did a food bank collection to help support people in our local area.
Animal Therapy
With lockdown still in effect, we had to get a little creative with our pet therapy sessions.
New York Museum live in our lounge!
On International Museum Day we took part by doing virtual tours around the National History Museum of New York. Its not a visit we would normally make so thanks to the technology this was a fun new experience for us all.
Garden games for all
For senior health and fitness day we took part in the Vecta House garden games with a selection of games from hook a duck to ball games, this was enjoyed very much by all the residents that took part on this lovely sunny day.
Test Centre thank you!
The team at Vecta House received a lovely thank you card from the Covid test centre after we dropped a gift bag with tea and biscuits to them.
We just want to say a little thank you to all the hard working team out there for working during this difficult time, their support to the community will make a real difference.
VE Day Preparations
We have been getting ready for VE Day by making our own bunting in our craft activities sessions. As we were unable to do a street party, we made our own take of one by having an afternoon cream tea while listening to war-time music.
