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
Horsin' Around
Vecta House had a lovely visit from Tippy the horse from Bodster on Monday 21st January. Everyone enjoyed the interaction with Tippy, and the less mobile residents were also visited in their rooms by her.
Ssstt…Snakes at Vecta House
Residents and staff had a lovely visit from Georgina and her snakes. Residents and staff were able to hold and stroke them and they even visited some of our residents in their rooms.
Animal-assisted therapy is proven to promote wellbeing and benefit for those who live with dementia.
Christmas Jumper Day
Staff had lots of fun dressing up for Christmas Jumper Day. As you can see, our General Manager was very happy, as she dressed as a 'Queen Elf'.
Bird Box Painting
Two of our residents from our Memory Lane community enjoyed their art and craft therapy session recently, where they painted bird boxes.
Nevil personalized his bird box with his name and his beloved wife’s names, and Pat made a beautiful bird box. The art & craft session is helpful for dementia’s residents, to enable them to communicate and to open their mind through art.
Wear it Pink
To show our support for Cancer Research, we held an event in the home and staff dressed up in their best pink outfits.
Macmillan Coffee Morning
We had a lot of visitors join us for our coffee morning on 28th September. Everyone enjoyed our homemade cakes that were donated by staff and loved ones. We managed to raise £96 in total for Macmillan Cancer Support.
