Activities at Woodside House Care Home
Activities at Woodside House
Our activities team deliver a wide variety of mentally and physically stimulating activities and events for those we support, including coffee afternoons, which we hold every month for the local community, regular outings in our minibus, and visits from entertainers and musicians. Monthly resident meetings help us to ensure that those living here are getting the most out of our activities programme, and that our social events reflect their interests and capabilities as best as possible. From growing our own vegetables to making giant paper-mâché animals, there is always something fun going on at Woodside House.
Sam Lake
My name is Sam and I lead our Activities Team at Woodside House.
I have been at Woodside House since 2004 and I love it here. I am responsible for ensuring that the residents are able to participate in sociable, fun and rewarding activities. My team and I are very passionate about our work and love putting smiles on the residents' faces.
We involve the residents in the planning of our activity calendars and encourage residents to continue with the hobbies that they have enjoyed throughout their lives. We will support every resident to try new things and we love learning from our residents every day.

Life at Woodside House Care Home
Christmas Time
It's beginning to look like Christmas here at Woodside; residents enjoyed decorating the tress and making a start.
Remembrance Day
We all celebrated Remembrance Day with coffee morning and took part in the minute silence.
Autumn is Here!
Autumn has hit us, and Woodside House residents have created their own hedgehog-mobiles. We love all the autumn colours!
Baking Club
People at the Woodside House Baking Club has been hard at work creating more delicious treats for residents and staff. Residents often have years of experience!
90 Years Young
Our wonderful Muriel and Freda had their 90th birthday. We made sure they both had a great day with cake and plenty of attention.
Shopping Trip
We had a lovely shopping trip in Norwich this week making the most of the late summer weather and the town being a little bit quieter now that the school term has started up again.
Clothing was the main item on the agenda but birthday presents for the grandchildren were not to be forgotten either.
As always we made time to stop off in Marks and Spencer for their great tea, coffee, cakes and scones.
