Activites at Westlake House Care Home
Residents enjoy playing hoopla and bocce bowls, which combine exercise with the thrill of competitive sport. We invite entertainers and musicians to visit the home on a regular basis and residents very much enjoy watching them perform.
We also have our pet therapy dog, Marley, visit the home on a fortnightly basis, and residents love petting him. They also enjoy health and fitness days, where they get the opportunity to participate in armchair exercises and target games.
We always celebrate National Volunteer Week, which we use as a chance to say thank you for the wonderful work that our volunteers do that further enhances the quality of life for those who live at Westlake.
As well as continuing with our favourite activities, such as arts & crafts, bingo, knit & natter, Scrabble, board games, bridge, quizzes, pampers & manicures, reminiscence sessions and musical memories, we always like to launch new activities for residents, which give them the opportunity to socialise with their friends and families. These could be our own vegetable patches, flower arranging sessions, a book club or anything else that our imaginations conjure up.

Rosie Duhig
Activities Coordinator Lead
I joined the Barchester family in November 2024 and have instantly felt welcome and supported. As an activity coordinator, I am passionate about getting to know our residents and delivering person-centred care and activities to all residents, an approach supported by a holistic, whole-home view.
I have been in a Care support role since 2019 and an Activity Coordinator since 2020. I love that my role brings laughter and joy to others. It so wonderful seeing people engaging in an activity they enjoy and interacting with each other. I am very passionate about Intergenerational projects, as something magical happens when old and young get together.
Celebrating life at Westlake House Care Home

Blooming lovely!
What a wonderful day of fun, flowers and great friends. Today's mini bus trip took us to Camelia Botnar Garden-Centre! Our residents loved looking around the gardens, charity shop and animal area, then enjoyed a lovely coffee and cake! A trip to the garden center is a firm favorite of our residents. To find out more about our trips out please contact us on 01403 618406

Spending time in nature.
Residents from Westlake House enjoyed a trip Sumner Ponds. We are so very lucky living so close to so many beautiful places. It was so therapeutic being in nature and taking time to enjoy the tranquility of the water. We all felt so happy and relaxed and enjoyed the sunshine. An afternoon of great company and great scenery.

A trip out to our local garden centre.
Today residents from Westlake House had a wonderful time at Hillier Garden Centre. We had a lovely time looking at all the beautiful flowers and plants and spending time in the sunshine. We chose some new plants to add to our lovely garden and headed to the cafe for coffee to make plans on where to plant them!
