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.

Life at Cossins House Care Home
Pyrford Lock
A lovely afternoon out on the bus to Pyrford Lock. Residents enjoyed watching the boats come along the river whilst sipping on their wines and G&T’s.
Fun in the Sun
Team Cossins have been making the most of the beautiful sunshine. Keeping active with Balloon tennis and ball games. Ice cream refreshments were served in the afternoon alongside a sweet sherry.
Friendships
Residents at Cossins House love to engage with friends and enjoy time with each other. We share stories over a sherry and keep each other company in the garden and share lunchtimes together.
St Patrick's Day
We had a wonderful time celebrating St Patrick's Day at Cossins House. Residents had a delicious Irish Stew with dumplings, accompanied by a drop of Guinness whilst listening to Irish music. The Staff at Cossins also entertained residents with a little Irish dancing too!
Art Class
Resident had a fun-filled afternoon of arts, painting and laughter. We sat opposite each other and painted portraits. The talent was impressive and the activity truly enjoyed by all.
Pancake Day
We had a tasty afternoon on Pancake Day. Lots of topping choices for us all to enjoy. One of the residents, Phyllis, was delighted with her lemon juice, maple syrup and fresh strawberries.
