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
Double Party!
We celebrated both Freda and Joyce's birthdays together – and Freda has just turned 102! The birthday girls attended a flower arranging workshop with Zuzi from 'Stay With It' and all the guests had a chance to learn about different types of flowers, how to arrange them and how to take care of them. We also had a quiz and a singalong!
Scottish Crafts
Residents had a superb time designing their own Tartan plate mats for Burns Night. We had Scottish music, a quiz and traditional haggis. What a great day!
Open Day
We hosted an open day on Saturday 27th January. Residents and visitors had a great time listening to Ian Kimber, who sang and played the guitar.
Elvis Day
Residents celebrated the King's birthday at Challoner House. We had a quiz, music, a singalong and loads of fun! We even tried Elvis' favourite food: banana and peanut butter sandwiches.
Christmas Ukuleles
We had so much entertainment in-house during December!
We were joined by a group that played ukuleles. All residents really enjoyed singing, playing and even dancing along. The music and the atmosphere were incredible!
We can’t wait for them to come again during our summer holidays!
Christmas Jumper Day
This year. we celebrated our Christmas Jumper Day on the 15th December. There were delicious homemade cupcakes and a prize for the most festive jumper. It was amazing to have residents, staff, volunteers and families involved. Well done to Heather for winning the competition!
