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.

Life at Station Court Care Home
National Beer Day
We opened our mock beer garden ‘The Station Arms’ to celebrate National Beer Day this month.
With the Sun shining, ice cold beers and other alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and refreshments on tap, music from the swinging 60s and 70s playing. It was the best day to spend time with family and friends duelling it out in our pub quiz!
RAF Museum London
Across our services we had a lovely time joining Rhiannon Watkinson from the RAF Museum London for an interactive talk exploring the exciting and innovative aviation history of Hendon.
Our residents were able to learn about the first flights from the fields at Hendon, the creation of the London Aerodrome and Battle of Britain pilots who flew from RAF Hendon.
The talk also included photographic and film material from the Museum’s archive. Residents across our homes had a fantastic time and we truly enjoyed the virtual experience.
Pets at the Palaces
Residents across our services had a delightful time during a special virtual sensory storytelling event, led by Art Historian Jon Sleigh from the Historic Royal Palaces.
Jon took us on a journey to discover some of the more unusual and unexpected inhabitants of the palaces and the Tower of London, sharing fascinating stories about the pets at the palaces.
Whilst enjoying the virtual experience, our residents were treated to hot beverages, delicious biscuits, berries and cakes. It was a truly lovely time for all.
World Cocktail Day
We made the most of the sun shining on World Cocktail day!
We all had a blissful afternoon tasting and making our own signature tastes and pre made cocktails and mocktails whilst catching vitamin D out in our garden along with ice creams, music and testing our cocktail knowledge in a quiz.
Reconnecting friendships through football
At our recent weekly Dementia football outing to the Hirst Welfare centre with GetOnside Northumberland.
2 of our gentlemen who worked down the pit together reconnected with a gentleman they used to play football with, for North Seaton team in their younger days. It was a heart-warming morning with all men connecting once again through the love of football, active challenges and friendly competition!
Celebrations fit for a King
We had a jam packed coronation weekend at Station Court!
Everyone got involved in decorating our home from quilting to woodwork before we began our celebrations with the amazing vocalist Michaela singing at our Royal prosecco party!
We watched history in the making on the big screen, we made floral centrepieces, royal cocktails and decorated cakes for our royal afternoon tea party and ended our celebrations on a high singing and dancing with live entertainment from the brilliant Michael Stevens!
