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.

Life at Vecta House Care Home
Music & Movement
Resident, Ron, had lots of fun during our Music & Movement session.
Arts & Crafts
Residents enjoyed a morning doing arts and crafts. They very much loved painting the wooden frames.
Around the House
Residents enjoyed a visit from Carisbrooke Castle. The theme was 'around the house', so people brought in items from home.
Tim, Jerry & Angelo
One of our visitors, Bonny, visits us with her dogs regularly. She travels across the UK and Europe competing in agility for the GB team and for herself. The dogs enjoy coming in the home and the residents very much enjoy seeing the dogs.
Afternoon of Celebrations
A lovely afternoon here at Vecta house, hosted by our general manger Nichola Shepherd. Our gardener Matt Mitchell won the divisional garden of the year award. Followed by Wendy Hatton and Ririn Sawitri who have been nominated for the care awards 2019 and our Housekeeping team have also been nominated for the care awards 2019.
The celebrations continued with Paula McVeigh who has successfully completed her training to become a care practitioner.
Last, but not least, we were delighted to celebrated the success of Linda Walton, our head of housekeeping has worked at our home for 25 years.
It was an amazing afternoon for all of us.
Fluffy Friends
Georgina came with her 3 guinea pigs to visit Vecta House residents, who loved to pet, cuddle and bond with it.
Pet therapy is a great way for those living with dementia to boost their mood and fight loneliness.
