Activities at Woodhorn Park Care Home
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.

Life at Woodhorn Park Care Home
Starlings virtual talk
Across our services our residents have enjoyed a wonderful live virtual talk about starlings, one of the UK’s most gregarious birds, hosted by Rachel Dowse from The Royal Parks London.
Rachel examined our long history with this bird and the importance of common species to our lives. Our residents had the opportunity to find out more about the great murmuration and why we need to pay special attention to these beauties before it's too late.
The virtual experience was truly enjoyed by all.
Christingle
Residents have had a busy couple of days making Christingle's and were then joined by Reverend John for our annual Christingle Carol service.
Christmas Jumper Day
We are helping to make the world a better place by wearing a festival jumpers today in aid of Save the Children’s annual fundraising event, Christmas Jumper Day. Our residents have been encouraged to borrow or decorate their own special Christmas jumpers and raise awareness for children in need all around the world. Some of our residents have been very creative and decorated their own glitzy knitwear with tinsel, stars, baubles and snowflakes.
C'mon England!
Staff and residents gathered round with a pint to watch our Lions roaring into the next round of the World Cup!
Games Afternoon
Our residents have had a great time at our games afternoon. We encourage all of our residents to try and stay as active as possible, both physically and mentally, and of course to have lots of fun while doing it.
Remembrance Day
Today we commemorated the signing of the Armistice Day agreement on the day that the guns finally fell silent. Our residents joined the rest of the nation in holding a two-minute silence at the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day, of the eleventh month.
