Activities at Emily Jackson House Care Home
Our activities team continues to offer a wide range of activities to both mentally and physically stimulate our residents. Our activities include one to one shopping, group outings in our minibus, and regularly attending our local church and bowling club. We also enjoy the entertainment from the musicians who come and visit us as well as our PAT dog. We have a range of activities so residents with all abilities and talents can join in activities and social gatherings. We encourage families and volunteers to share the joy with us by taking part in our social events as well.

Life at Emily Jackson House Care Home
Trip to the lavender fields
Beautiful trip out to see the Lavender fields at Castle Farm, Kent. Thank you to staff there for being so helpful and kind.
We soaked up the stunning scenery and enjoyed a cheeky ice cream.
Joan said “What a wonderful trip! I thoroughly enjoyed myself”
More celebrations at Emily Jackson House!
We celebrated the Kings birthday by eating the English favourite- Victoria Sponge and English tea. The residents made the delicious treats themselves and as you can see they were very much appreciated.
And we also celebrated Father’s Day. Residents at the home enjoyed a ‘pub style’ lunch followed by a pub quiz and games.
Thanks to Barry the landlord at The Anchor, Sevenoaks who helped with items to give the home a ‘pub feel’.
Wow what a day! What a party!
We had not one but two birthday celebrations yesterday and Clayton from Muzical Entertainerz made the party go with a bang!
The residents faces lit up with his great selection of songs and amusing antics.
Always a fun day when Clayton is the house
Garden Centre Visit
A lovely afternoon out at Polhill Garden Centre recently.
Residents were delighted to be joined by family members as we enjoyed strolling around admiring the beautiful show of colours.
Joan was so thrilled to see her daughter and so pleased to spend the afternoon with her enjoying a favourite pastime.
Visiting our Sister Home
Last week we visited one of our sister homes in Oxted.
We all got together at Tandridge Heights for a delicious afternoon tea and a good chat. It was lovely for the residents to go out and meet new people and find out about their lives, hobbies and interests.
We look forward to our next adventure with our new friends on one of our future minibus outings
Thank you for inviting us. Until the next time….
What a lovely surprise yesterday!
Sevenoaks School music choir surprised with an afternoon visit. The residents were pleased to see them and enjoyed the music.
We also had some volunteers from Sevenoaks School too who helped Residents Grahame and Tony to build their model aeroplanes. Both men have a passion for flying and their faces lit up as they talked about their flying days.
