Activities at Westlake House Care Home
Residents enjoy playing hoopla and bocce bowls, which combine exercise with the thrill of competitive sport. We invite entertainers and musicians to visit the home on a regular basis and residents very much enjoy watching them perform.
We also have our pet therapy dog, Marley, visit the home on a fortnightly basis, and residents love petting him. They also enjoy health and fitness days, where they get the opportunity to participate in armchair exercises and target games.
We always celebrate National Volunteer Week, which we use as a chance to say thank you for the wonderful work that our volunteers do that further enhances the quality of life for those who live at Westlake.
As well as continuing with our favourite activities, such as arts & crafts, bingo, knit & natter, Scrabble, board games, bridge, quizzes, pampers & manicures, reminiscence sessions and musical memories, we always like to launch new activities for residents, which give them the opportunity to socialise with their friends and families. These could be our own vegetable patches, flower arranging sessions, a book club or anything else that our imaginations conjure up.

Life at Westlake House Care Home
National Volunteer Week
Here at Westlake, we welcome various volunteers who help support us in a number of ways, such as by accompanying us on trips out on the minibus and to picnics. We really appreciate all the help and time our volunteers give us.
Daily Exercise
At Westlake, we offer daily exercises for the benefit of residents. These exercises have been approved by a physiotherapist and can be adapted depending on each individual's level of mobility.
Outside Entertainment
Sometimes entertainers use our garden facilities to get residents into the musical mood and to encourage guests to get involved.
Enjoying the Sunshine!
When the weather is nice, everyone is keen to get out into the garden and socialise with others. Whether you want to catch up for a chat, grab an ice cream or meet with friends and family, our garden is a great location.
PAT Dog
Marley, our PAT dog, comes to the home once a fortnight and is loved by many here. For residents who are less mobile, they can look forward to a room visit from Marley.
Live Entertainment
Entertainers not only provide social benefits for residents, but it's also nice to see new faces every now and again.
