Activities at Rose Water Place Care Home

Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.

Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.

Georgia Williams

Activities Coordinator

Hi, my name is Georgia and I am the Activities Coordinator here at Rose Water Place.

I have done various roles in the care industry from being a carer, to activities, to administrator.  I have enjoyed every role but I feel activities is my calling.  I love making our residents smile and enjoy spending time with them and listening to every life story and ambition.

During Covid, I won a regional and national award for activities and had the opportunity to have afternoon tea in the House of Lords.

Life at Rose Water Place Care Home

FLIPPIN’ FUN PANCAKE DAY

Rose Water Place marked this year’s Pancake Day by spending the morning with our Head Chef, Suraj, whipping up lots of pancakes which included a pancake flipping competition.  The pancakes were served with a selection of sweet and savoury fillings for all the eager staff and residents. 

DOGGY PARADISE

Residents and staff at Rose Water Place care home in Langley, Maidstone, loved the annual return of the world’s largest dog show, Crufts.  Residents at the home are all keen animal lovers and were delighted that Crufts was back on our TVs so decided to host their own dog show. 

Canine fans at Rose Water Place hosted their own dog show in which had 9 categories and an overall winner.  Fifteen dogs participated and were put through their paces in each of the categories and were judged by the residents. But best of all they loved the agility competition where the dogs all seemed to have so much fun!

One Million Steps for Dementia UK

During the month of February, the team and residents decided not to walk 1k a day but to walk ONE MILLION STEPS for the month to raise funds to help ensure no family faces dementia alone.We are pleased to announce that with the support of the team, the residents, visiting professionals and visitors we achieved a total of 1,124,979 steps and raised £150. Thank you to everyone that participated in helping us to achieve our goal and more.

Valentine's Day

There was lots of love in the home as we celebrated Valentine's Day. Staff and residents celebrated the day of love by enjoying pre-lunch drinks served to them whilst listening to the magnificent Charlie the Saxophonist and a fun afternoon of Valentine’s bingo. Each of the residents were also given a gift bag full of heart-shaped chocolate and sweets.

Residents Dream Come True

On Saturday a couple of our residents were taken to The Den to watch the Millwall vs West Brom. game.This was brought about as one of our gents has supported Millwall from around the age of 13 years old and used to visit The Den with his brother and uncles on a regular basis up until the age of 18 when he had to go into national service and was sent to Germany.His dream was to visit The Den again and have a nice cold pint in the local like he used to. However, he did say that he would have to hide his scarf until he got there as Millwall are known to be not the most likeable team.

Baking Masterclass

Our residents were treated to a baking masterclass by our own Head Chef, Suraj. Suraj showed them his technique on how to make cheese scones and the residents chatted about what they used to bake at home with their families. They didn't say no to a glass of wine either! Once the cheese scones had been baked they didn't last long! They were absolutely delicious! Light and fluffy in texture.
