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.

Life at Vecta House Care Home
Classic Car Show
Residents enjoyed a classic car show at the home where they could view an array of cars that were on show. On the day there was also live music from the Abba duo and a visit from the vintage scoops ice-cream van. Everyone had a wonderful afternoon spent with friends and family.
Making Mike's Dream Come True
Mike was in the RAF and a keen glider pilot and loves to reminisce about his time flying. Mike told the activities team he would love to go flying again so the team set to work contacting their local airport who were more than happy to make Mike's dream come true. Mike had a fantastic day it just goes to show you are never to old!
