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.

Free coffee and cake for on-duty blue light card holders
We are delighted to offer a free coffee and cake to any on-duty blue light card holders who are taking a break in our care home. We understand that your job can be demanding and stressful, so we want to do our bit to show our appreciation.
Today we had local PCSOs visit and a local ambulance worker come by for cake and coffee on their breaks. They were all very grateful for the gesture and said it was a nice way to relax and unwind after a busy shift.
We are planning to have more community talks in the future, so watch this space!
If you are an on-duty blue light card holder and would like to take advantage of our offer, please just let us know at reception.
Thank you for all that you do!
