Life at Westgate House Care Home
Community Day
Our day out in the community was fantastic!
We were invited to Forest Gate School for an afternoon Christmas tea party. Residents enjoyed homemade food by staff and pupils, including a selection of sandwiches, savoury selections, sweet delights and hot beverages.
Residents had a game of bingo where they won prizes and enjoyed the live Steel Band by pupils playing Christmas music, they had great talent!
To round it off we also received Christmas presents form Santa!
Windchimes
At Westgate House our residents were busy creating colourful wind chimes.
They were the perfect special Christmas gift for a family member or friend.
Residents were so happy with the end of the result, that some of them decided to keep them for themselves and hang them up in their rooms!
Cubs Visit
Cubs came to visit for the first time at Westgate house and brought homemade delicious cupcakes and gift bags with chocolate treats inside.
Residents had a fun and engaging time with the cubs playing ball games.

Cultural Day
We had a great party in the garden to celebrate culture day .The home had a vast diversity working and living at Westgate. The aim of the day was to promote cultural awareness, understanding and appreciation by showcasing the diverse traditions, languages and foods. The day included live Entertainment by Cliff Jones, who sings music from around the world, including reggae. The sharing of cultural music is a fantastic way to communicate and promote understanding, staff dressed in their traditional dress and paraded their traditional attire during the afternoon . Residents learnt about the importance of cultures , traditions and traditional dress. There was dishes from India,Caribbean, Philippines,Nigeria and Gambia . Each dish had a variety of flavouring , spices , aroma and smells to tantalize the taste buds .
