Activities at Woodhorn Park 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. Activities make up the most important part of all our days at Woodhorn park, so we ensure a variety of social events are available that reflect the interests of all the people we support. In our Memory Lane community, we have group conversations and regularly reminiscence about past experiences, which is something that people living with dementia really enjoy. Many residents love gardening, baking, outings, pet care and gentle exercise, which we provide, along with many other wholesome activities, as it is essential that life at Woodhorn Park is fun and active.

Lauren
Activities Coordinator
Hello, my name is Lauren, and I am one of the Activities Coordinators here at Woodhorn Park.
My job is to physically and mentally stimulate our residents by offering a range of activities for them to enjoy. I want to get everyone involved and make our home community and atmosphere as positive and welcoming as possible.
Making sure that our residents have things to do that they really enjoy doing is something that I hold very close to my heart. It is so important to make sure that they are happy and enjoy all the activities and events that we host for them.
A lot of our residents also enjoy our special trips out on our minibus as we create new, special memories together.

VE 80th celebrations
Woodhorn Park marked the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day in style by throwing a 1940s afternoon tea party to remember.

We had a fun-filled day as we raised a glass and tasted top ales in recognition of National Beer Day.
