Activities at Vecta House Care Home
Our activities team are great at building the activities programme around the likes and interests of the people we care for. Ensuring that our social events offer fun and adventure is part of the ethos of our home; it’s important that those we support can enjoy an active and social lifestyle. Of course, there will always be those who prefer peace and quiet, and in these instances, a cup of tea and a chat are always welcomed.

Macmillan Cake Sale
During September we held a Macmillan cake sale to raise money for a great cause.
We had a delicious selection of scrumptious cakes all homemade by staff, tombola and a local group Wraxall Wollies held a stall of beautiful handmade items.
We managed to raise a whopping £104!
Quarr Abby
Residents enjoyed an outing to Quarr Abby where they enjoyed a delicious slice of cake and a cup of tea. Afterwards we enjoyed exploring the beautiful grounds spending time in the church praying with the monks then ended the trip with feeding the pigs. Residents enjoyed an outing to the café at the local Hospice, we basked in the glorious sunshine while enjoying tea and cake then walked around the beautiful gardens.
An Adventure to Monkey Haven
Residents went on a wild adventure to Monkey Haven to explore the park and admiring the variety of animals on show.
We loved the cheeky little Cotton top Tamarin monkeys that loved to have their photos taken . We ended the afternoon enjoying delicious cream tea at the parks café
