Activities at Westvale 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.
Joanne Sherwood
Hi, I'm Joanne and I'm the Activities Co-ordinator at Westvale House! I joined the team in December 2023 and absolutely love my role. Getting to spend time with our residents every day and getting to know each of them more and more, is such a privilege.
I get to create and tailor our activities to the preferences of each individual resident, making sure they're all doing things they'll absolutely love, and that brings me and the rest of the team so much joy. Making each of their days special is what I believe my job is all about.

Life at Westvale House Care Home
Creative flair!
Today at Westvale House as Christmas is fast approaching we decided to make our own centre pieces for our tables. We had so much fun choosing the decorations and sticking them together - without sticking them to ourselves.
We were so busy creating our masterpieces we didn’t miss the music that had stopped playing and yes it was Christmas music.
Festive decorations
Here at Westvale we would like to say a massive Thank-You to Ikea Warrington for their donation of a Christmas tree for outside of our home.
Even though it was a little chilly outside one of our residents braved the cold to decorate the tree, Tony said he likes to be outside and he doesn't mind it being cold.
Merry Christmas to all the team at Ikea from Westvale House we all hope that you have a lovely Christmas.
A delightful afternoon with St Andrews Choir
We love the opportunity to welcome new talent to our home.
We had the pleasure of St Andrews Church Choir singing Christmas Carols.
St Andrews choir has only practised together so we were pleased to have them perform for the first time in front of an audience.
We enjoyed a sing along to some of our residents favourite carols with a song booklet provided by the choir.
Residents' home baked Christmas Cookies
We had a lovely day baking home made Christmas Cookies then used our imagination anad creative skills by decorating to decorate our Gingerbread Cookies.
Residents enjoyed spreading over the icing sugar and picking different colours and sprinkles to add to their creations, enjoying classic Christmas songs in the background.
As we were overlooking the garden the conversation soon turned to how pretty everywhere looks when covered in snow but also how cold it was outside
Service with St Philips
Residents at Westvale House have taken Holy Communion. A service was given by St Philips Church, the residents enjoyed the opportunity of prayer and togetherness. A few Christmas carols were chosen and sung by the residents.
Thank you to St Philips who have been regular visitors to Westvale throughout the year.
Christmas show
Today at Westvale House we welcomed Joe Cockx - Everyone's Favourite Grandson with his Christmas show. We sang along to Christmas tunes, jingled our bells and and shook our pom poms in time with the music. A great way to stay warm on a chilly afternoon.
