Activities at Cossins House Care Home
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience, and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.

I have been working in care since the age of 16, when leaving school. Over the years, I have been a senior care assistant, administrator, home trainer and activities coordinator. I really enjoy working with the elderly residents.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Cossins House Care Home
A trip to the Train Station
Resident Ken has a passion for trains. Ken said he misses the trains and would like to go to the station. Lisa Activities Coordinator took Ken to the station which he thoroughly enjoyed. After watching the trains we popped over the road for a coffee and cookie. Ken was delighted to go out and spend quality time together doing what he loves.
Out in the Garden
Making the most of our beautiful garden with friends. Residents come together to enjoy special moments and share lovely stories with one and other whilst sitting in beautiful surroundings.
Staff and Residents
