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
Christmas Fayre
Santa came to visit Station Court on 8th December for our Christmas Fayre. This was a well-attended event by residents, families and the local community. The tombola and raffle raised funds in excess of £250 for the residents' fund.
Summer Carnival
For our Summer Carnival this year, 2 staff members took part in a sponsored head shave and Musical Memories performed for us. There were ball games, plenty of stalls for all ages and the emergency services even paid us a visit.
For the Love of Music
Residents loved dancing at our folk band music event.
Rainbow's End
Several residents took part in the Rainbow's End exhibition – a creative project to help people discover everyday treasures within their lives. Led by artist, Jane Sutcliffe, residents made handmade paper, which reflected their own personal treasures and memories. Their work will be part of a touring exhibition in south east England.

Staff, residents and visitors enjoyed Cupcake Day for The Alzheimers Society on the 14 June 2018. All proceeds from the sale of the cupcakes went to The Alzheimers Society and the Resident Fund at Station Court.
