Activities at Challoner House Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life. 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.
Vicky Davison
I started working for Barchester 11years ago as the Head of Activities before taking a year out to care for a family member, I returned to my Head of Activity role 6 years ago, since being back I have also had a chance to expand my career opportunities as the home administrator but I missed spending time with the residents so went back to being the Head of Activities.
I have a real passion for Activities and get a great deal of pleasure in enriching the residents' lives through meaningful activities. I love getting to know the residents and spending time with them finding out what they love to do. Every day is very different and rewarding.
In my spare time I love travelling around Europe in my motorhome, spending time with my family and three rescue dogs Peter, Wilson and Riki.
