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.

Letters home to loved ones.
Where possible, we have helped our residents with letters home to loved ones. Our residents have also really enjoyed receiving responses to these letters.

International Nurses Day
Another picture from International Nurses Day. Love this.
International Nurses Day
Julia Christodoulides, the Home Manager, designed these beautiful mugs that where amongst the gifts the nurses received on International Nurses Day. How lovely - and of course Rob and his team in the kitchen would not miss a chance to bake the team a cake.
V E Day
Look at that delicious cake. Again Rob and his kitchen team have excelled themselves to celebrate VE day. Obviously slightly different than originally planned the team at Westlake celebrated VE day with a fabulous spread of red, white and blue cakes. War time memorabilia was displayed and there was much laughter and reminiscing. 75 years ago!
Afternoon Tea to Celebrate the Queens Birthday
An afternoon of celebrations to celebrate the Queens Birthday. As usual the kitchen team have excelled themselves with cakes and treats for staff and residents alike.
