Activities at Westgate House Care Home
Our role in the home is fundamental to ensuring that our residents enjoy a fulfilling quality of life. We strive to provide a stimulating, creative & varied range of activities & events in the home, which everyone can enjoy whether they prefer social group engagement or one to one interaction. Residents choice is what we aim to provide to the best of our abilities. We enjoy being creative, sharing projects and discussing with our residents the kind of activities they would like to enjoy. Both indoor and outdoor activities are offered to cater for all tastes as well as regular outings to local places of interest.

The Empire Windrush
Westgate House celebrated the 70th Anniversary of the arrival of the HMT Empire Windrush that pulled into Tilbury Dock in 1948. Residents remembered their feelings on arriving in England during the British post-war recruitment drive from the various Commonwealth nations to help with the severe labour shortages in services like the NHS and London transport.
