Activities at Westvale 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.
Joanne Sherwood
Hi, I'm Joanne and I'm the Activities Co-ordinator at Westvale House! I joined the team in December 2023 and absolutely love my role. Getting to spend time with our residents every day and getting to know each of them more and more, is such a privilege.
I get to create and tailor our activities to the preferences of each individual resident, making sure they're all doing things they'll absolutely love, and that brings me and the rest of the team so much joy. Making each of their days special is what I believe my job is all about.

Life at Westvale House Care Home
Blue Planet Aquarium
We enjoyed lunch before taking a tour around the bottom of the ocean coming face to face with sharks, stingrays and other creatures of the deep.
Art club
We took advantage of the beautiful weather this week and enjoyed art club in the garden.
Home hosts charity Summer Fete!
Staff, residents, relatives and the local community came together on August 13 at Westvale House in Warrington to enjoy a Summer Fete held in the home’s grounds in aid of Breast Cancer Now, a cause very close to the home’s heart.
Westvale House hosted a variety of activities throughout the day to raise funds for Breast Cancer Now, including serving an absolutely delicious afternoon tea prepared by Dave our kitchen assistant ,a tombola, a raffle, and a variety of stalls from different local businesses which included lunch with Lucy Dog Treats. There was live entertainment by Musical Delights, which was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone who came to the event.
For the first time since 2019, the home was able to hold its annual summer fete and the staff and residents were delighted to see different generations having fun together again.
Craft Club
We love getting involved in everything here at Westvale House but often like a quieter club and relaxing so pot painting is also a favourite here.
St Philips church
St Philips is our local church and they came and delivered holy communion to our residents.
David John Dee
We enjoyed the singing delights from David John Dee. He always gets all our residents singing along it was great to see him back at our care home again.
