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
Just passing through
Our residents had a lovely time joining Daniel Snowman, for an exciting virtual event to discuss his book ‘Just Passing Through’.
Author of over a dozen books, Daniel Snowman’s long and active life has led him to interact in countless ways with the wider world and with some of its most famous inhabitants. His memoir evokes these experiences via a series of vivid literary vignettes.
Our residents found the talk very intriguing and informative, and were happy to learn more about Daniel’s experiences around the world.
Virtual sing-a-long!
Our homes had a fantastic time with vocal coach Mark De-Lisser as he led an amazing virtual singing session for our residents to enjoy.
Our residents were able to learn different techniques as they sang the famous ‘I’m a Believer’ by The Monkees.
There were smiles and laugher all around. The session was such a success and was great for the mind, body and soul.
Father's Day
Our men had a brilliant day celebrating father’s day. It was brilliant afternoon with family members joining us, We took part in a quiz and chanced our luck in a free raffle before tucking into a delicious 3 course Sunday lunch with choices of whiskey, beer and ciders to wash it down with! We played family favourite games and our gents reminisced of good times. As well as receiving lovely gifts from family all our men were treated to a box of chocolates and personalised cake from station court too!

Jubilee Celebrations
At Station Court we went all out fully celebrating the 4 days of the Platinum Jubilee. We began our celebrations with a garden party, with the amazing Laura Jayne performing! Everyone was treated to Jubilee themed refreshments and of course we loved a sing a long and good dance, it was so wonderful to have so many families joining us too, an amazing day bringing everyone together! On day 2 residents on memory lane got their dancing shoes on with the brilliant Irish Geordie band Belta Reivers performing at our prosecco party. We then took part in Derby Day on day 3 with strawberries and cream and Pimms of course! Residents placed their bets and winners were delighted with their prizes. To finish the weekend celebrations on a high our ladies made beautiful flower arrangements for a big street style jubilee themed afternoon tea. A truly brilliant weekend was had by all bringing everyone together as we celebrate the longest reigning monarch – our Majesty the Queen.
National Trust talk
Our homes had a fantastic time joining National Trust Talks Service team at Cliveden House for an inspirational talk on Nancy Astor – the first woman to take a seat in the House of Commons.
Our residents had the opportunity to learn more about the fascinating life of Nancy and her political career. As the first women MP, she experienced both attention and scandal throughout her life, which led to many triumphs and numerous disasters. The talk was truly enjoyed by all.
