Activities at Wykeham House Care Home
Our activities team are great at building the activities programme around the likes and interests of the people we care for. Ensuring that our social events offer fun and adventure is part of the ethos of our home; it’s important that those we support can enjoy an active and social lifestyle. Of course, there will always be those who prefer peace and quiet, and in these instances, a cup of tea and a chat are always welcomed.
Rachel Stevens
I joined Wykeham House in October 2022 but I have worked doing activities in care homes since I left College, I began volunteering in a local home when I was 15 years old and then took on my first job in a care home when I was 18. I have enjoyed extending my knowledge to improve my work and have a Level 2 in Dementia Awareness, Domestic Abuse Awareness and Mental Health Awareness. I have also attended courses on End-Of-Life Activities as well as Dementia focused Activities. I love what I do and for me it is important that every day is a new day for our residents with new opportunities and a smiling face to come with it.
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 Wykeham House Care Home
Bill surprises his Granddaughter on her Wedding Day
Here at Wykeham House we make the "impossible", possible. Bill and his family didn't think he would be able to attend his granddaughter Melissa's wedding. Shannon our activities assistant thought we could make this possible and she did. On 10th June 2023 when Melissa walked down the aisle she not only had her husband waiting at the other end but also her grandad. A truly special occasion.
A Day at The Races
Our residents had a wonderful time celebrating Epsom Derby's Ladies Day. We created and were donated hats fit for the occasion, residents enjoyed a pamper and like a true day at the races it would all be pretty incomplete without a wonderful photo opportunity.
