Life at Newton House Care Home
Virtual event with Jon Sleigh
Residents across our services had a delightful time during a special virtual sensory storytelling event, led by Art Historian Jon Sleigh from the Historic Royal Palaces.
Jon took us on a journey to discover some of the more unusual and unexpected inhabitants of the palaces and the Tower of London, sharing fascinating stories about the pets at the palaces.
Whilst enjoying the virtual experience, our residents were treated to hot beverages, delicious biscuits, berries and cakes. It was a truly lovely time for all.
Gardening Club
A delightful day outside in the sunshine with gardening club,
making the most of the glorious sunshine, planting bulbs and seeds, feeding the birds and a spot of weeding.
The ladies put us to shame with their gardening skills too!
Gardening is very much enjoyed by our residents at Newton House and assists in a feeling of empowerment by placing residents on an expert role.
There are many other benefits also, including maintaining lifestyle skills and hobbies, reminiscence, increased social and mobility skills and a feeling of empowerment.

World Health Day
What a joyous & refreshing morning we had, celebrating world health day
We started the day with a wonderful friendship group to bring all residents together from across the home – Meeting new friends and engaging in social activity has so many health benefits including an increased feeling of wellbeing and self-esteem, physical activity to enhance body awareness just to name a few.
Residents tucked in to some delicious homemade fruit kebabs, which were made from strawberries, blueberries, oranges and grapes. They were absolutely scrumptious. We then engaged in a fun quiz about the body for our ‘let’s get quizzical’ activity.
Coronation history
Across our services Residents had a wonderful time participating in an interactive virtual talk with Pippa Catterall, Professor of History and Policy at the University of Westminster, where we delved into the rich history of coronations.
During the talk, we explored fascinating topics such as the coronation chair, the crown, and other significant aspects related to King Charles' upcoming coronation. Our residents were thrilled to have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the memoirs of past coronations from 1937 and 1953, as well as learning about the coronation oath and what to expect from the ceremony, including the music, guests, and pageantry.
