Activities at Newton House Care Home
Our home is always full of life, and we can thank our wonderful Activities Coordinators for this. Dedication to creating a unique and interesting activities programme is what sets us apart from other homes. We always take into consideration that some people would prefer to pursue their own interests, which is why our team strive to incorporative activities that cater to a wide range of tastes and hobbies. Our trips out are always fun and exciting as well, and residents are guaranteed to return with stories to tell their loved ones!

Life at Newton House Care Home
Gentleman's Club Trip to The Pub
The Gentlemen of Newton House enjoyed a bus trip out to the local Wetherspoons this morning and were treated to a well deserved, delicious bacon sandwich and a beer.
We had a lovely time, reminiscing about our favourite holidays, work life, family and friends.
One of our Gents was delighted to bump into an old dear friend who he hadn’t seen since the 70s, which sparked more reminiscence about his time owning a local garage and fixing his friends car.
Barchester’s Big Quiz of the year!
All over the country our care homes and hospitals linked up for Barchester’s Big Quiz of the year!
Residents tested their knowledge with a variety of questions, from historical humdingers and musical musings to pictorial puzzlers and connective conundrums.
Everyone who participated had a fantastic time and enjoyed some friendly competition.

Floral Beauty
A Floral Beauty. Residents from around the home came together in our coffee lounge, for a morning of flower arranging with some beautiful flowers that were kindly donated by a member of the local community.
