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.

Fish & Chips 'Fryday'
Our gents had a brilliant day out on our mini bus taking in the sights along the coast, visiting St Mary’s lighthouse and Whitley Bay before having fish and chips straight from the box taking in the sea air and spectacular views at Tynemouth priory.
We couldn’t agree more with one of our gents who said ‘’ There’s no trouble in the world when you’re sitting here’’
National Ice Cream Day
Residents across our homes had a fantastic time during a special live virtual event in celebration on National Ice Cream Day. Wall’s team took us on a great journey through history, sharing fascinating details about the brand since its launch in 1922. We learned about major innovations such as the introduction of Mr Whippy, Cornetto, Viennetta, Twister, and Carte d'Or.
Residents were treated to a sing-along to Cornetto classic ads, an interactive quiz about fun Wall’s facts and best-of-all, an ice-cream tasting session. It was a delightful experience for everyone, especially our ice-cream lovers.
Dogs Trust
Residents across our homes had a fantastic time during a special live virtual event, led by Jennifer and Emily from Dogs Trust, the UK's largest dog welfare charity. Jennifer and Emily took us on a journey to discover the rich history of Dogs Trust and their facilities.
Using captivating video and photo footage, our residents were able to explore rehoming centres and learn more about the highest level of welfare offered there. It was a delightful experience for everyone, especially our dog lovers.
Summer Party
Everyone at Station Court had a brilliant day celebrating the official start of summer and World music day with family and friends at our garden party this month!
With our garden decorated, summer refreshments in hand, the sun shining - Everyone got ‘all shook up’ with live entertainment from the amazing Mike Memphis performing his famous Elvis show for us all .. the British weather never stops us having a great time and so when the heavens opened we dashed indoors and carried on the party in our lounge!
Father's Day Celebrations
We celebrated father’s day at our ‘Dads day lunch event’ inviting families to have a 3 course Sunday lunch with our dads and grandads.
With a cold pint or whiskey of course, games, music, themed quiz and extra treats to make all our father’s feel as special as they are!
