Activities at Red Oaks Care Home
We believe in making a difference to the lives of people living here with us and ensure that we provide a lifestyle full of choice and stimulation that is centred around each resident here at Red Oaks. This includes a whole host of varied activities, together with regular trips out around the region, taking full advantage of the home’s minibus. Our aim is to enable each person we support to continue to do the things they enjoy for as long as they possibly can.
Sue McHoy
My role as activity coordinator at Red Oaks is ensuring that all residents have a full and varied activity program. Using our getting to know me books and knowing our residents backgrounds develop our activity program. Having lived in Henfield for the past 10 years I enjoy assisting residents maintaining and forming new the community connections.
I am passionate about my role, the part is having fun and making people smile.

Life at Red Oaks Care Home
Christmas Jumper day
Everyone got involved in true Red Oaks style and celebrated Christmas Jumper day. Fun, laughter and lots of Christmas spirit.
Courtyard Concert
Residents were treated to some well needed and very much appreciated live music. Whilst everyone was safe inside, the fantastic band Brass Fusion played some brilliant classics for everyone to enjoy. Complete with Christmas hats and festive cheer. We cant wait to welcome them back.
Pamper Time
Residents are overjoyed as the hairdresser is now allowed back into the home. We understand how important self care is to everyone, so as soon as they gave the green light we booked as many people in as we could. We have a feeling she is going to be very busy over the coming weeks getting our residents for the festive period.
Reunited again
Little Hattie was reunited with her owner after 9 long months apart. Although it was through glass this time, they still knew exactly who they were. A lovely early Christmas present for everyone.
Christingle traditions
Everyone had a lovely afternoon making Christingle candles. It symbolises light of the world and has become somewhat of a December tradition here at Red Oaks.
Kindness Delivery
One of our lovely residents families have all made Christmas cotton masks for all our staff. They got together as a family and stitched over 80 brightly coloured masks. They then delivered them to Red Oaks. They wanted to show their appreciation for everything the staff do. Not just for their family member but everyone. Thank you so much for such a kind gesture.
