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
World Cupcake Day for Alzheimer’s Society
For Cupcake Day for the Alzheimer's Society, we had Old Hall Nursery children visit the home, who helped residents decorate the Cupcakes. The Residents really enjoyed it and so did the children!
Senior Health & Fitness Day
Residents took part in an indoor sports day in recognition of Senior Health & Fitness Day, as the weather wasn't great outside. They took part in a bean bag competition and and egg & spoon race, plus much more.
Biscuit Decorating
Residents and loved ones enjoyed decorating some biscuits. They enjoyed eating them even more, as did Matthew, our General Manager.
A Day in the Sun
Residents enjoyed a lovely day in the warm sunshine. They re-planted flowers and enjoyed a quiz, along with afternoon tea in the garden.
Musical Magic
On 13th June, residents enjoyed a live performance from David John Dee. His '60s-themed show was a huge success and we can't wait for him to visit again!
Royal Wedding Celebrations
We celebrated the day watching the royal wedding. The ladies had a pamper before the ceremony and, after it was all finished, residents enjoyed the wedding reception. They enjoyed a cream tea & sparkly wine.
