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.
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
Sunday Brunch
We're very lucky at Westvale House to have a friendly pub right next door! So to make the most of a cosy Sunday, we nipped out for a cup of tea and some brunch at The Maltings.
Our residents Eunice and Marie took a walk round the corner with our carers Jiji and Joy, and together they all had a lovely cup of tea and chat. Sometimes it's the little things that make all the difference, and set them up for a wonderful Sunday! They both had a lovely time and appreciated the one-on-one time.
Dashing through the snow....
Staff and residents at Barchester’s Westvale House care home in Old Hall, Warrington got into the Christmas spirit by joining a festive live virtual experience led by Des and Kelly from Performing Pets to visit a Christmas grotto where they got to meet some adorable reindeer.
Halloween Celebrations
Here at Westvale House, we got into the spooky Halloween spirit of things by creating an autumnal display with painted and carved pumpkins.
We hosted a fun-filled party in the afternoon with delicious Halloween inspired lunch and treats, and themed music!
Some of our residents preferred to paint and decorate pumpkins and to dress up for the occasion, others got involved in themed quizzes and games, and enjoyed watching Halloween films.
We all had a spooktacular time.
Movie Afternoon
We love a movie afternoon! We treated our lounge like a cinema this week and made sure everyone had their snacks, lights were down, and curtains were closed for the day's showing of The Sound Of Music!
The classic story requested by our residents, is all about Maria and her move to take care and be a part of the Von Trapp family. Everyone made sure to sit down and get comfortable to watch the classic. We were so invested, the singing along could be heard down our halls - even the staff joined in!
We're now taking suggestions for our next 'cinema' showing! What would you watch?
40-years Long Service Celebrated
Two Senior Carers at Westvale House in Old Hall, Warrington have both received a prestigious 20 Year Service Award in celebration of working at Barchester Healthcare for 20 years each.
Mariza Dee and Joy Jovinal, now Senior Carers, started at Barchester in October 2003 and have worked with residents and their relatives to ensure that their needs have been met over the years.
Parachute Games
Yesterday we played games in the lounge with a parachute! Our residents had a wonderful time making waves and getting to work together as a team to keep up the items in the middle.
This was something different that our residents loved and have asked to do it again as they enjoyed it so much!
