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
A visit from the Henfield Ukulele Group
Red Oaks residents, relatives, and staff had a fantastic time when we had a visit from the local Henfield Ukulele Group. Everyone sang and toe tapped along to all the well-known songs.
Thank you all for a wonderful afternoon.
A perfect night for an outside fire.
Residents, relatives and staff wrapped up and gathered around the fire pit watching the amazing changing sky drinking hot chocolate. Once dark, the sparklers were lit, and we had smiles all around.
Returning from the chill into the warmth of the house everyone was treated to bangers and mash for supper.
Henfield Remembrance Parade
General Manager Linda and Jane today had the honour of joining the Henfield remembrance parade representing all Red Oaks residents.
Having walked in the parade and attending the service at St Peters Jane laid the wreath at the cenotaph with other residents and staff from Red Oaks watching on.
Jane was a wife of a servicing RAF officer for many years travelling the world. She said that she felt honoured, privileged and very touched that she had been asked to lay the wreath on everyone’s behalf.
Dave sprinkles magic at Red Oaks
Residents and staff were treated to an afternoon full of fun, laughter and amazement with Dave's magic tricks. Dave showed us how fun magic can be with his jokes and throughout left us all wondering how the magic happened.
