Activities at Westgate House Care Home
Our role in the home is fundamental to ensuring that our residents enjoy a fulfilling quality of life. We strive to provide a stimulating, creative & varied range of activities & events in the home, which everyone can enjoy whether they prefer social group engagement or one to one interaction. Residents choice is what we aim to provide to the best of our abilities. We enjoy being creative, sharing projects and discussing with our residents the kind of activities they would like to enjoy. Both indoor and outdoor activities are offered to cater for all tastes as well as regular outings to local places of interest.

Mothers Day Celebrations
Residents here at Westgate house enjoyed an afternoon of live entertainment, in celebration of Mothers Day. Residents were up dancing, and singing along. The ladies had a lovely time opening their presents and we were all treated to a delicious afternoon tea, prepared by our chef.
Pudding Club
This month’s pudding club was held yesterday. The activities team held a reminiscence morning with our residents about pudding recipes and baking memories from years gone by. Three recipes where chosen sweet potato pudding, coconut cake and tea loaf pudding. Our chef then expertly made the puddings. We held a taster session for all to join in and vote on their favourite pudding. The winner was the coconut cake!! A big thank you to everyone who took part.
A trip to the pub for lunch
Our residents went out for a pub lunch yesterday. They enjoyed a nice walk, and built up an appetite. We all had a great meal, washed down with a lovely drink. Everyone had a lovely time.
