Activities at Tandridge Heights Care Home

Our qualified and dedicated activities staff plan and implement all activities within the home. We try our best to arrange activities that reflect our residents interests and capabilities as best as possible, and encourage them to participate in any way they can. We also encourage relatives to join with activities and events as often as they can. We try to keep our residents active and happy.

Our activities include trips to garden centres, pubs, the cinema or the local theatre. We have many fun games like carpet bowls, Play Your Cards Right or armchair exercises. There are many musical events, singalongs, garden parties and tea parties for everyone to enjoy as well!

My main responsibility is provide a varied and engaging activities schedule every day for our residents; this helps to keep them involved in social and uplifting activities. We love to have parties to celebrate birthdays, national days and special occasions.

A Performance from Andy Mace

Tandridge Heights recently welcomed Andy Mace to come and sing for our residents. Andy was very interactive, telling jokes and getting to know our residents whilst also singing lots of sing along classics. Residents enjoyed singing and dancing, we had a really fun afternoon and we cannot wait to welcome him back next month.

A Trip to Biggin Hill airport

Residents recently enjoyed a day out at Biggin Hill airport, we had a delicious lunch in the lookout café and were lucky enough to see the spitfires taking off, which our residents were very excited about. We also had a lovely surprise when we bumped in to residents and staff from one of our sister homes.
