Activities at Westvale House Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
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.
Aimee Dyas
Hi, I’m Aimee and I am the Activities Co-ordinator here at Westvale House.
My role is to support Residents well-being, to provide enriching and meaningful activities and promote independence and social engagement.
I joined the team in April 2025 and by far the best part of the role is getting to know our Residents and their families. They have many stories to share and understanding their individual needs enables me to plan and deliver a tailored activities program that captures and includes everyone in the home.
Prior to joining Westvale I worked in Forensic Mental Health and prior as a Community Support Worker and feel that along with my NVQ Level 3 in Adult Social Care, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise not only to my role but to contribute to the Barchester whole home approach.
Outside of work, I enjoy regular trips to the cinema with my Fiancée, we adore our six cats and have plenty of cuddles and when time allows we get out and about for long walks.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Westvale House Care Home
Ascot Ladies Day
Our lovely ladies and a few gentlemen had lunch in the garden to celebrate Ascot Ladies Day.
Lunch was prepared by our outstanding hospitality team which consisted of a selection of sandwiches, cupcakes and fresh cream scones and juicy strawberries.
Each of our ladies wore a handmade fascinator in a variety of colours lovingly made by Joanne our Activity Coordinator.
The sun definitely had his hat on as the drinks were flowing and music played and a fabulous time was had by all.
Creative Mojo Art Session
A huge thanks to Yvonne from Creative Mojo Cheshire West & Warrington for another fabulous creative arts session.
We were each tasked with painting different elements, making sure to add our individuality. Yvonne then worked her magic to piece them altogether to create another collaborative masterpiece to display in our conservatory.
This months theme was Mary Poppins, it wasn't a spoon full of sugar but a paintbrush full of paint!
We can't wait to see what next month brings!
Glitz and Glamour
It was worth the wait for us to share with you the winner of last weeks Glamorous Granny competition.
Our classy ladies strutted their stuff as they were cheered on by fellow residents and the winner was chosen by carefully selected judges.
Congratulations to our lovely Doreen who was crowned Miss Westvale 2024.
Doreen says: 'It was such a lovely afternoon, full of laughter and good spirit - I should now like to be known as Her Majesty Queen of Westvale or Queenie for short'.
Putting Carers on the Map
10th - 16th June is Carers Week and we have been celebrating all of our staff team who provide quality care to our Residents and families every day.
Not just treated to some delicious chocolate treats, we put heartfelt words and inspirational quotes onto thank you cards and spread the love throughout the home.
Carers Week is an annual event to raise awareness of caring, highlighting the challenges carers face, and recognising the contribution they make to our residents, families and communities throughout the UK.
Looking After our Emergency Services
Blue Light Breakfast To Go!
We want to look after those who look after us, and what better way than making sure our emergency services are food fuelled and ready to go!
We visited our local stations including, Warrington Fire Station to deliver 'Barchester Breakfast Baps' for the crew's to enjoy.
These were the wishes of our Residents who want to support our local community.
All Emergency Services and Blue Light Professionals are welcome to visit Westvale House anytime for a brew and piece of cake - it's completely FREE!
Busy in the Garden
We love spending time in our garden, it is a beautiful environment where Residents and their families can sit, relax and enjoy a variety of exciting gardening activities.
This week, family and friends of Westvale House made the most of the sunshine entertaining their relatives by giving our garden some well deserved TLC. A few of us even enjoyed a tipple of wine.
We are looking forward to the summer days ahead and more time outside in the fresh air.
