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 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
Vecta in Bloom
We are delighted to announce that we have been named as a Divisional Winner for Barchester in Bloom's 'Garden of the Year' competition.
Feeding the Geese
On a Monday afternoon, residents went out with the activities girls to the iconic Ryde Canoe Lake to feed the geese. Those living with dementia can find caring for animals to be a source of comfort.
Taking the Cake
Ali, our activities coordinator, had help from lovely resident, Derrick, baking some delicious cakes. They mixed the ingredients together with an electrix mixer, and loved tasting the finished results.
Baking Day
Activities Coordinator, Ali Eldridge, spent some time with residents preparing jam tarts for everyone to enjoy.
Red Nose Day
We hosted a cake sale in our newly-refurbished coffee area to raise money for Comic Relief. Residents and loved ones enjoyed the delicious, homemade cakes, cookies and pastries donated by staff.
Thank you very much to everyone who donated!
Love from the Donkey
Staff, residents and local kids shared the love and enjoyed a visit from Trevor the donkey on Valentine’s Day.
Trevor shared his love with our staff and residents, and also visited less mobile residents in their bedrooms.
Kids from the local Summerfield Primary School also visited Vecta House to meet with Trevor.
