Activities at West Oak 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.
Dawn Davies & Helen Fagan
Dawn and Helen are at the centre of all the activities here at West Oak. They provide an interesting and varied activities schedule and ensure that there is something for everyone. They are passionate about the importance of activities and will go that extra mile just for a smile or a raised eyebrow, whether it's one-to-one time or a group session, inside or out, fun is had by all.

Life at West Oak Care Home

Costa Coffee
Brian enjoyed his afternoon trip out to Costa coffee, Winnersh. We started the trip by taking a small drive around the local area and discussing all of the local attractions. Brian was very taken back by how large Show Case Cinema was.
We then stopped off for coffee & cake. Brian enjoyed a latte with a delicious iced cinnamon bun. It was a lovely afternoon trip and we were extremely lucky to enjoy some glorious sunshine.
