Activities at Challoner House Care Home
Our specialist activities staff are committed to organising a mix of activities and events for residents and the local community to get involved in, including trips out to local places of interest in our minibus and visits from entertainers and musicians. It is important to us that each individual who we support can get as much from these as possible, so we try our best to arrange activities that reflect their interests and capabilities as best as possible, and encourage them to participate in any way they can. We also encourage relatives to join with activities and events as often as they can.

Life at Challoner House Care Home
The Power of Flowers
Residents of Challoner House really enjoyed a lovely sensory session with flower arranging. They enjoyed touching, smelling and talking about the beautiful flowers. They were even singing flower-themed songs and finished off with a flower-themed quiz.
Fairground Fun
Residents enjoyed a fun afternoon of playing fairground games. We played games such as tin can alley, target shootout and hoopla. It was nice to hear all the stories from residents about their childhood memories at the funfair.
Easter Fun
Challoner House had a lovely week celebrating Easter. They had a fun craft afternoon marbling eggs for table decorations, a yummy afternoon chocolate tasting, and we also joined the Big Barchester Virtual Easter Quiz. We also received a lovely box of Easter eggs from the local parish church.
Mother's Day
Residents enjoyed a lovely Mother’s Day afternoon tea party. They had some beautiful homemade scones, cakes and refreshments. The ladies said the afternoon was lovely and very thoughtful.
Weekly Exercise
The residents at Challoner House really look forward to their weekly exercise class, held by one of the activity team. We use different exercise equipment and introduce a new exercise each week. We end the session with a breathing and relaxation session. The residents have said they feel the classes really help keep them active and enjoy the different movements to music.
Birthday Celebrations
Our lovely birthday lady, Joan, Celebrated her birthday recently. All our residents are treated to a personalised gift, card and beautiful birthday cake.
Joan was absolutely frilled with her treats; all the staff and residents sang happy birthday to her at lunch time and she got to see her son and daughter in law in our visiting pod
