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
Little Feet from Stepping Stones Nursery
Children from Stepping Stones nursery popped into see our residents to share their summer holiday stories and enjoy a morning of arts and crafts. They enjoyed a lovely morning, singing, story time and were creative with their arts and crafts to the delight of the residents who are looking forward to their return visit later in the month.
Activities Coordinator, Sarah Morley said ““We are very excited about our new intergenerational project and our residents are full of ideas of what activities they want to share with the children when visit us. It was such a lovely way to bridge the gap between the generations and share a morning of fun and laughter and we can’t wait for them to return”.
Summer Fayre
On Saturday the 10th of August our residents & families enjoyed attending our summer fayre. We were entertained by the singer, Debby, performing hits from the 60’s. There were multiple activities throughout the day, for example, 'Hook the Duck' game, bottle stall, tombola, raffle and many more.
Residents met representatives from the Body Shop company and tried some of their products. Everyone enjoyed the delicious ice-creams and fish & chips.
