Activities at Sycamore Grove Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
We understand that the people we support have passions and interests that could be difficult to pursue after moving into a care home – but that doesn’t mean we don’t encourage them to try! Some hobbies can define a person, so our Activities Coordinators are dedicated to ensuring that everyone we support is able to do what makes them happy to the best of their abilities. Social events are organised with individual tastes in mind and with the idea that residents have the opportunity to try new and exciting things.
Lynette Allen
I first worked in the care sector in 2016. I have since gained a wealth of experience in dedicated dementia and residential activities, where I was an Activities Coordinator.
The largest and best part of my role was to ensure my residents were engaged in meaningful activities on a daily basis. I do this by taking into account their life history, their interests, likes and dislikes in order to promote their wellbeing currently and for the future. Liaising with family, friends and members of the community is also part of my role and it offers continuity to the lives of our residents. I love giving people a purpose and enabling our residents to do as much as possible of the things they love to do.
I cannot wait to welcome our residents into their wonderful new home and help to bring smiles, joy and laughter to each day.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies

PCSO's Visit our Home to Show us What They Do
Had a great visit from our local PCSOs at Sycamore Grove! They told us about their important work in the community, showed us some of their powers, and the items they carry to keep us safe. It was really interesting and we really enjoyed meeting them. Thanks for visiting!
Getting to know you
Huge thanks to Maria, our amazing Dementia Champion! She's created fantastic dummy profiles for our showrooms, showing how we support those living with dementia. We know we can't replace family, but we make the move to Sycamore Grove smooth with "Getting to Know You" books, cloud displays for staff, and memory-sparking rummage boxes. Come see the difference by popping in
Grand Finale!
This Sunday, our Sycamore Grove gentlemen are heading to the Congress Theatre for the final instalment of our London Philharmonic Orchestra visits! This special series, inspired by Arnold's wish, has been a resounding success. We're so excited to see the culmination of this musical journey.
Sunshine, soil, and smiles!
We've had a brilliant time at Sycamore Grove getting our potted plants prepped for the potting shed with the amazing Ollie, our gardener! From fragrant herbs to vibrant sweet peas, and even some spicy chillies and juicy tomatoes, our little garden is coming to life. It's so lovely to see everyone getting involved and enjoying this wonderful project. Perfect for bringing a bit of nature into our home!
Pie 'N' a Pint night at Sycamore Grove
What a fantastic evening! Our Pie and a Pint night at Sycamore Grove was a resounding success! We enjoyed mouth-watering pies, refreshing pints, and most importantly, wonderful company. It was lovely to see everyone enjoying themselves and creating such a warm and vibrant atmosphere.
