Activities at Winchester House Care Home
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.

Life at Winchester House Care Home
Tea cup flower's
This week Winchester House care home was donated some beautiful flowers in memory of a very lovely lady.
Residents and staff arranged the lovely flowers in our bone china tea cups which were then placed around our homes for all to enjoy.
Pancake Day here at Winchester House
March 1st, Shrove Tuesday, Pancake Day and St David's Day.

Valentine's Day Celebrations
We so enjoyed Valentines Day this year.
Staff, residents, families and friends filled Winchester House with flowers, cards and sweets in celebration of St Valentine’s Day.
We celebrated the day of love by creating heart-shaped decorations to decorate the home and gifting each other home-made sweets, cakes and treats.
David, a resident at Winchester House’s newly refurbished Marconi Residential Unit, bought and put up red heart shaped lights and decorated the reception area for Debbie our fantastic receptionist.
A good time was had by all.
