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
Christmas Preparations
Residents have enjoyed decorating the outdoor Christmas tree in preparation for our Christmas light switch on this Friday at Newton House.
We got wrapped up and sang Christmas songs together, it was just wonderful.
Winter Wonderland
A fabulous but cold afternoon today watching our beautiful Christmas lights being switched on at Newton House.
This Christmas is planned to be the best festivities we have ever seen, with a jam packed Christmas calendar, and making up for the Christmas that never was…. last year due to covid!
Our aim is that each year our outdoor wonderland will grow, and become a splendid spectacular for residents to enjoy with their care team and family and also for our community to visit.
Residents wrapped up warm and enjoyed nice hot chocolate with melted marshmallows and a selection of home baked mince pies and cupcakes.
Flower Arranging
It was a fun morning of getting creative with flower arranging on our wonderful Watergate community.
Residents enjoyed making their own arrangements and enjoyed talking about past experiences.
Mrs W spoke about when she visited a flower show with a friend, and how clever the lady was, who delivered a class on this topic.
Equine Therapy
Residents were overwhelmed today with a surprise visit from Alfie & Pinocchio, the stunningly beautiful therapy horses, and their little ray of sunshine friend, Jemma, the incredible puppy. They brought happy tears & smiles to our stunned residents.
Mrs M. couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw the puppy come through the doors, followed by the therapy horses.
Trip to Finkins
Residents enjoyed a lovely bus trip out to Finkin's restaurant to indulge in delicious tea and cakes using the voucher that was kindly donated by Rob Dixon.
Mr & Mrs T. were delighted to be able to go out together for the first time in many years, and we were thrilled to be able to make this happen for them
As always, team Finkins were incredible hosts and made us all feel so very welcome.
An enjoyable time was had by all and we can’t wait for our next trip out
Cliff's Birthday
There’s nothing we love more than a good ol' party at Newton House, and today didn’t disappoint…
We celebrated Sir Cliff Richard's birthday with live entertainment from the fabulous Steve Carmel, singing some of the rock star's most popular songs.
We even had our very own handmade Cliff masks, balloons and hats.
