Activities at St Thomas Care Home
Our activities coordinator is dedicated to organising meaningful activities on an individual and group basis to fulfill the daily needs of our residents, as we understand how important mental and physical stimulation is for their wellbeing. Our activities are available to everyone who wants to take part and there is something different going on everyday. We often go out on day trips including visiting shopping centres, garden centres, evening meals at the local pubs, visits to local schools and also coffee mornings with other care homes. We have a wide range of entertainers that visit us at our home including musical therapists, Millers Ark Farm, pantomimes as well as our local salvation army and lots more. We encourage families to join us on trips out and also in home activities such as baking, arts and crafts, dancing and singing, we believe this is a great way for our residents to live an active and fun life here with us at St Thomas.

Life at St Thomas Care Home
Goodnight Sweethearts Visit St Thomas
The very talented Goodnight Sweethearts shared the love with an amazing Valentines Show in Cherry Tree. They sang upbeat songs as well as ballards, which went down really well with the residents and relatives. One relative even said they reminded her of the Everley Brothers! St Thomas' definitely recommend the fab duo and have invited them back at various dates throughout the year.
