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
Christmas Crafts
Every Monday morning in November and December, our residents are enjoying a festive craft club. Most recently, we made paper wreaths that looked so effective. Residents are then able to hang them in their room when finished.
Our New Visiting Pod
Our residents have been over the moon about having the new visiting pods. It is so lovely for residents to be able to see and speak to their loved ones again.
Macmillan Coffee Morning
As we were unable to hold a Macmillan Coffee Morning this year, our residents and staff enjoyed a morning of making and decorating cupcakes. We then all ate them with a nice hot beverage.
Talk Like a Pirate Day
We celebrated International Talk Like a Pirate Day. We themed the whole day around pirates by dressing up and holding pirate activities, including making sand art and decorating wooden treasure chests.
Autumn Wreaths
Our residents enjoyed making autumn wreaths from foraged leaves, twigs, acorns and other arts and craft materials. They look lovely hanging on the residents' doors and really brighten up the corridors.
Roald Dahl Day
Challoner House took part in Roald Dahl Day. Our staff dressed up as characters from his books, and the residents reminisced about his stories. We held a Willy Wonka chocolate tea party, and the residents said the really enjoyed the day.
