Activities at Winchester 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 constantly striving to mentally and physically stimulate those we support by organising group and individual activities for anyone and everyone to participate in. There are regular outings in the minibus to nearby places of interest, including the local priory and garden centres, as well as visits from musicians, a wide range of entertainers. We are lucky enough to have a enthusiastic team of volunteers who regularly visit the home throughout the week, and our yearly pantomime is a real crowd-pleaser and is well-attended by residents, relatives and members of staff. Activities are one of the most important aspects of a care home, so it is essential that our team are dedicated to ensuring that residents are entertained, and that life at Winchester House is fun and active.
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 Winchester House Care Home
Day out with the Gentlemen!
We wanted to treat our gentlemen to a day out, and they chose to visit the Royal Engineers Museum.
They loved the museum and had a lot of fun trying on all of the different uniforms from all the different countries.
Our gentlemen enjoyed it so much that they have asked us to take them again soon!
Chinese New Year!
We celebrated Chinese new year here at Winchester House.
We dressed the home with blown-up dragons and lanterns. We also played Chinese music around the home, which some of the residents had never heard before, so we were all learning new things about another country.
We also had a party where all our residents could sample some of the Chinese cuisine and rice wine.
Celebrating the King's Birthday
We celebrated the Kings Birthday In style this year by watching the trooping of the colour and seeing the royal family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, and we also raised a glass to wish him a very happy birthday.
Time for a cuppa, Dementia Charity
We held a cake sale here at Winchester House for the Dementia UK Charity, we invited all our friends and family and our local community to help us raise money for this amazing charity that is so close to our hearts.
Celebrating VE Day
We celebrated VE Day in style here at Winchester House, some of the staff got dressed up included our wonderful manager Liza Burchell. We had a performer in singing music from the 1940-50s. The resident’s then enjoyed an afternoon tea with scones and fresh cream, all in all it was a fantastic day.
David's Birthday
Myself and family members of a resident, wanted to do something special for his birthday as he has been very poorly. So we held a party for him with his family and close friends who he has been living with for the last couple of years. The chef made a lovely cake, we put on a lovely spread and also decorated the dining area for him, needless to say, David the resident was overwhelmed with the amount of love and effort that people had gone to for his birthday and made some special memories.
