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
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...
Thank You Paramedics
At Westvale House, we're so appreciative of the health care professionals that we work alongside and who support us on a daily basis. They work incredibly hard, and work such long hours that sometimes they just need a coffee and a smile to perk them up.
We love to show our appreciation, so we make sure we offer refreshments whenever we get a visit. This week, these happy paramedics left Westvale with a hot coffee in our Barchester travel mugs, and cake to go!
