Activities at Station Court Care Home
Activities make up the most important part of all our days, and at Station Court we ensure there are a variety of social events that reflect the individual interests and capabilities of people we support. All group and individual activities are designed to not only mentally and physically stimulate the people we care for, but to enhance their life skills and feelings of purpose and self worth. All of our team are committed to supporting a full activities programme within the home.

I am passionate about our enhancing our residents daily life and delivering a person centred life enrichment activity programme is very important to me to ensure that our residents continue to lead fulfilling lives doing things that they want to and enjoy. Our programme is varied from excursions out on the mini bus ensuring our residents are connected to their local community, hosting events here in the home, virtual events and themed days – no day is the same!

Life at Station Court Care Home
A Christmas Carol
Across our homes we’ve had the most wonderful time celebrating the festive season with a special screening of 2020’s OLD VIC: IN CAMERA – A Christmas Carol.
This beautifully staged production brought the magic of Dickens’ classic tale right into our homes. A huge thank you to The Old Vic theatre for sharing this incredible performance with us. It was a truly wonderful experience.
The Holly & the Ivy
Staff and residents across our homes were treated to an interactive virtual Christmas-inspired table decorating masterclass, courtesy of talented master florist, Kathryn Delve.
Kathryn is an independent florist based in Somerset, she specialises in creating unique wedding and event flowers. She takes much of her inspiration for her displays from the beautiful scenery that surrounds her home and the changing seasons and colours.
During the workshop, residents were invited to join Kathryn to make beautiful Christmas-themed table decorations.
Halloween Skelebration
Mini monsters from the local community joined us in their costumes for a Halloween family fun day having a spooktacular time playing Halloween themed games and challenges, taking part in scavenger hunts, joining our pumpkin and painting party and feasting on eerie-istable treats.
Residents and staff had a ghoul at our monster mash party with Michaela performing Halloween hits live and a ‘fang’tastic afternoon joining our ‘terror-ific’ friends at full circle for a community Halloween tea party. Residents took a trip down memory lane with Sarah from Northumberland library sharing spooky stories and reminiscing of Halloween’s past with memorabilia.
Lest we forget
Residents joined a lovely remembrance service at Ashington memorial garden paying their respects with pride to remember together as a community before residents and staff came together at our ‘Bless Em’ All’ afternoon tea party, singing along to wartime classics on remembrance Sunday.
We commemorated remembrance day observing the 2 minute silence together reflecting on the service and sacrifice the armed forces have made and make for our today. We shared wartime stories with veterans residing at Station Court and celebrated life getting all shook up with Elvis impersonator Mike Memphis performing his GI Elvis show bringing us all together singing, dancing, swooning and being serenaded to hits from the King of Rock N’ Roll.
Royal Celebrations
We celebrated King Charles III birthday with a royal knees up party singing and dancing to songs from the Royal variety show and best of British hits.. everyone was in fits of laughter when his majesty and his family joined for disco dancing!
We celebrated our queen of the day, our resident ambassador Olive at her big birthday bash. With prosecco and beers flowing and entertainer and comedian Allen Cutler performing his one man music hall show having us all laughing, dancing, dressing up and singing along she sure marked her special day with a bang!
The Wallace Collection
Residents across our services had a lovely time joining Emily and Marie-Therese from the Wallace Collection, for a virtual introduction to Reubens' Rainbow Landscape.
Residents truly enjoyed the sensory walk through one of the museum’s most famous landscape paintings.
Everyone who joined had a wonderful experience and can’t wait to put their creative skills to the test by painting some landscapes of our their in the coming days!
