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
Mind, Body and Soul
The activities at Challoner house are always really focus on our Mind, Body and Soul, sometimes we try and incorporate all three elements into one activity. This week we had a lovely session in the garden room talking about all the lovely flowers and wildlife we could see, We then followed the session with some gentle armchair exercises and finishing off we gentle and relaxing breathing techniques, it was a beautiful session that left us all feeling really good.
Art Class
The residents at Challoner House have decided to get arty, we have started up an art club on a Thursday afternoon, One of our sessions included still life drawing which we all found a challenge however the end creations were a great success. We have now booked in Deco Patch and Easter Cards over the next few weeks.
The Power of Flowers
The residents at Challoner House enjoy regular sensory activity sessions, This week they have enjoyed an afternoon of Flower arranging. Flower Arranging is an amazing activity to get everyone’s senses flowing, we are able to smell, touch, see and reminisce our memories of the beautiful flowers, Once we had finished arranging the flowers we had a fun picture quiz related to flowers and shrubs
