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.

Life at Cossins House Care Home
Sports Afternoon
Residents took part in a sports afternoon battling against each other in Balloon volleyball and chair football. The laughing and happiness was a delight for all. We look forward to regular sports activities.
An Afternoon of Music
Residents at Cossins House enjoyed a sing along to music whilst the wonderful Stephen Gray performed for us playing some of our old time favourites. A lovely afternoon was had by all who attended.
Baking Cakes
Volunteer Charlie who is helping at Cossins House for his D of E award enjoyed baking cakes for our residents to enjoy. The cake was absolutely delicious and went down well with our afternoon tea.
Happy 103rd Birthday
Our lovely resident, Josephine, has just turned 103! Jo celebrated her birthday with family and friends. Jo was thrilled to receive a medal from Ireland to mark the special occasion, and was overwhelmed with all the flowers and gifts she received.
Bus Trips
Getting out and about in the community means so much. Residents at Cossins House enjoy regular bus trips to National Parks, garden centres, shopping centres and many more lovely destinations. Garson’s Farm is one of our favourite places and the cake is absolutely delicious.
Valentine’s Day at Cossins House
Residents were delighted to spend time with their loved ones and enjoy a delicious meal to celebrate valentine’s day.
Each resident was given a rose from our lovely Ken. New memories were made and lots of chocolates were eaten.
