Activities at Newington Court Care Home
Our Activities Coordinator here at Newington Court constantly strives to mentally and physically stimulate those we support in our home. We have our own minibus enabling residents to go shopping, to the local garden centre, out for fish and chips, and for boat trips in the summer. We also have regular visits from the PAT dog, musicians and entertainers. We hold cheese and wine evenings for residents and their families and our residents attend services at the local school for Remembrance Day and Christmas. The junior school also come in and sing for our residents at Christmas. The residents also attended a Christmas Party held at a local Grammar School hosted by the students.

Life at Newington Court Care Home
Armchair Exercise
Our residents have been exercising with the giant parachute! Lots of laughter, good for gentle movement and lots of fun!
Live Entertainment in the Garden
An enjoyable afternoon joining in with the singing in the garden. We had the wonderful Liam singing for us. We love making use of our wonderful gardens and patio area. Happy Summer days.
Pub Lunch
Some of our residents enjoyed a nice lunch at a local pub. As the weather was warm they enjoyed their lunch in the beer garden. Our residents always enjoy an outing, travelling in our minibus and enjoying the company of the local community.
Boat Trip
Our first Boat Trip of the year! Lovely time cruising on the River with The Kingfisher Medway Trust. Our Residents enjoyed the trip and had a picnic lunch. Lots of wildlife and magnificent views. Our Senior Carer, Ray, even got to steer the boat!
Armchair Yoga with Kerry
Our residents enjoyed another new activity at Newington Court – Armchair Yoga with Kerry.
Armchair yoga is a great way for older adults to get the wonderful health benefits of yoga. Staying seated while doing yoga means that those who aren’t so flexible can safely do the exercises.
It’s a fun activity to do together and you get the health benefits too!
Coronation Celebrations
Here at Newington Court we celebrated King Charles' coronation with a Big Lunch party. Our amazing kitchen team laid on a beautiful buffet lunch and residents and their families came together to enjoy the food and entertainment. Lunch was followed by a 'Royal' sing-a-long with one of our residents favourite singers, Peter Kneebone, followed by games and quizzes. A great day with good food, dancing and singing and lots of laughter!
