Activities at Red Oaks Care Home

Everyone at Red Oaks wished Edna a happy 100th birthday. With special surprises Edna was treat to a trip out, a party with family and a party with all her Red Oaks friends. We asked Eden what her secret was... Apparently you needed to be a bit crackers! Edna's keyworker Donna involved the community asking them to send in a birthday card and over 100 cards were received. Edna was over whelmed by everyone's generosity and thanked everyone who gave her a birthday card especially the King which she shows all her visitors!

Residents all enjoyed a trip to Camelia Botnar Garden Centre where they spent time looking at the array of flowers and plants. The staff at Camelia Botnar created an amazing afternoon tea for everyone to enjoy. Camelia Botnar  support Red Oaks throughout the year with our Monthly Gardening Club.

Amongst residents at Red Oaks flower arranging is a firm favourite. The wonderful smells and  colours of the instigate so many memories and lots of chatter around the table. With some flowers and greenery grown in the Red Oaks award winning garden.  

Red Oaks residents, relatives and members of the Henfield community were treated to an afternoon at the proms with sounds from Brass Fusion. The sun shone down and with strawberries & cream and Pimm's with lots of flag waving there were smiles all round. We all finished the afternoon of by all singing the national anthem together.

At Red Oaks we believe that every moment in life is worth cherishing and we are thrilled to share the heart-warming fulfilment of a special wish for one of our residents. Today, we celebrate Ron who is very passionate about the R.N.L.I. and he wanted to raise some money for the organisation. Ron has been making beautiful jewellery such as pendants and earrings that he has hand painted himself. Ron decided to sell these at the garden and arts weekend here at Red Oaks. With the unwavering dedication of our compassionate team and the support of our incredible community, we were able to make Ron's dream a reality. It is a testament to the staff’s determination to make dreams come true, no matter the age or circumstance. Ron had the wish of going to see the lifeboats and saying thank you for their dedication to this job and also to hand over the money he raised at the weekend. Today we took Ron down to Littlehampton lifeboat station where he got to see the boats and also have a tour of the boat house. It didn’t stop there... we had a pit stop for fish and chips on the beach and of course to round it off with a trip to the beach for a lovely ice cream. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to R.N.L.I staff for taking time to talk to Ron and also our two staff members Sharon and Sue who made the whole thing possible. Here at Red Oaks we continue our mission to provide exceptional care and support to all our residents. We are committed to creating an environment where dreams are nurtured, cherished, and celebrated.
