Activities at Sycamore Grove Care Home
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.

Life at Sycamore Grove Care Home
Afternoon on the Prom visiting the bandstand
Monday afternoon was spent at Eastbourne Bandstand where the Royal British Legion Central Band entertained us with a wonderfully varied repertoire of music. Everyone agreed that the performance was both masterful and fun. A great way to wile away a sunny afternoon.

All aboard for a grand adventure on the Gin train
Sycamore Grove recently embarked on a delightful journey on the Gin Train from Eridge to Tunbridge Wells. This luxurious steam train whisked us away for an afternoon filled with stunning scenery, delicious gins, and delightful company.
Imagine the sight of the billowing steam and the gentle chug of the train as it meandered through the charming English countryside. If you can only imagine the fun we had indulging in refreshing gins and delectable treats as we rolled along.
What a fantastic way to spend a summer's day!

Magical Afternoon at Sycamore Grove!
We were treated to a spellbinding performance yesterday by the incredible Marco the Magician! His dazzling tricks and witty humour left us all in awe and stitches.
Floating cards, disappearing handkerchiefs, and mind-reading feats had us scratching our heads and erupting in laughter. Marco's interactive performance had everyone engaged, from trying to guess his next move to volunteering as assistants (unwittingly, of course!).
The afternoon was filled with gasps of surprise, delighted shrieks, and plenty of applause. It's safe to say Marco's magic left us feeling a sense of wonder and a renewed appreciation for the power of illusion.
A huge thank you to Marco for sharing his magic with us! We can't wait for the next time!
Surprise Blooms Brighten Sycamore Grove!
Our entrance hall was recently transformed into a floral paradise! A generous mystery donor gifted us a stunning array of fresh flowers, leftover from a local wedding celebration.
These beautiful blooms brought a burst of colour and fragrance to our home, instantly lifting everyone's spirits. Our residents were especially delighted, their smiles as bright as the flowers themselves.
To the mystery donor(s), thank you! Your kindness extended the joy of a special day and brightened the lives of our residents and staff. It's a beautiful reminder that love and happiness can blossom in unexpected ways
