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

Activities Coordinator

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

Fitness First

A wonderful session with Rise Warrington this week, which was another great opportunity for our residents' competitive sides to come out and play! We had the music pumping and everyone's energy levels high.

Thank you Chelsea for another wonderful session

Getting Creative

We had another wonderful creative session with Yvonne from Creative Mojo this week! If there's anything our residents love, it's getting their hands dirty with some paint and crafts.

Their artwork is something they can all be proud of! They work together to create some beautiful pieces and we're so lucky we get to display them where everyone can see them.

Virtual Tour of Mayfair

Residents across our services had a fantastic time joining Mandy Morrow for a virtual walking tour to learn about the ‘Herstory’ of Mayfair. The Mayfair of Nightingales may be long gone but it still holds a 20th century charm. Birthplace to the late Queen Elizabeth II, home to one of WWII's most decorated female war heroes and a tale of a wealthy Aristocrat and one of France's favourite designers.

We were delighted to take a walk down memory lane and discover stories from one of London's most iconic areas.  The experience was truly enjoyed by all.

Miniature Mabel!

We had the most precious visitor recently, when Mabel the Miniature Dachshund came to see us! At Westvale, we absolutely love our furry friends so any opportunity to cuddle a puppy is welcomed with open arms.

All residents got to spend some time with Mabel, and since she's just a pup, Mabel was over the moon with the attention and cuddles, and so excited to see everyone. She was star of the show!

Singing with Rob Steele

We had the wonderful Rob Steele in to sing for us, and everyone from our residents to relatives and even staff had an absolute ball!

Rob covered everything from our favourite hits to sea shanties, and every face in the room was plastered with a smile. We all had a dance (complete with maracas!) and sang along to tunes such as That's Life, In My Liverpool Home and Daydream Believer, which had everyone's arms in the air!

Thank you so much for a wonderful afternoon Rob, and we can't wait until next time!

Artists at Work

The lovely Yvonne from Creative Mojo Cheshire West & Warrington visited us again, this time to help us put together a wonderful Mad Hatter's Tea Party masterpiece!

It's always a great day when our residents are able to put paint to paper and let out some of their creativity, and they were all so proud of the end product that it's now hanging pride of place in our conservatory! Let's see what we add to the art gallery next...
