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

Zoolab

Zoolab

Everyone really enjoyed our visit from Zoolab. Residents and visitors listened to an educational talk whilst stroking a guinea pig, a tortoise and even a corn snake.

Fish Therapy

We received a new addition to our home: an aquarium. The colours, motion and sounds can serve as a form of therapy to relax residents, stimulate their mind and curiosity and help encourage conversation between residents and loved ones.

Pancake Day

We invited the community to join us on our 'Pancake Day' for delicious homemade pancakes and entertainment with Amanda Parsons. Everyone had a great time singing, dancing and savoring the pancakes with their favourite toppings. Yummmm!
