Activities at Westvale House Care Home

We had the most precious visitor recently, when Mabel the Miniature Dachshund came to see us! At Westvale, we absolutely love our furry friends so any opportunity to cuddle a puppy is welcomed with open arms.

All residents got to spend some time with Mabel, and since she's just a pup, Mabel was over the moon with the attention and cuddles, and so excited to see everyone. She was star of the show!

We had the wonderful Rob Steele in to sing for us, and everyone from our residents to relatives and even staff had an absolute ball!

Rob covered everything from our favourite hits to sea shanties, and every face in the room was plastered with a smile. We all had a dance (complete with maracas!) and sang along to tunes such as That's Life, In My Liverpool Home and Daydream Believer, which had everyone's arms in the air!

Thank you so much for a wonderful afternoon Rob, and we can't wait until next time!

The lovely Yvonne from Creative Mojo Cheshire West & Warrington visited us again, this time to help us put together a wonderful Mad Hatter's Tea Party masterpiece!

It's always a great day when our residents are able to put paint to paper and let out some of their creativity, and they were all so proud of the end product that it's now hanging pride of place in our conservatory! Let's see what we add to the art gallery next...

At Westvale House, we're so appreciative of the health care professionals that we work alongside and who support us on a daily basis. They work incredibly hard, and work such long hours that sometimes they just need a coffee and a smile to perk them up.

We love to show our appreciation, so we make sure we offer refreshments whenever we get a visit. This week, these happy paramedics left Westvale with a hot coffee in our Barchester travel mugs, and cake to go!

Residents across our homes had a fantastic time during a special live virtual event in celebration on National Ice Cream Day. Wall’s team took us on a great journey through history, sharing fascinating details about the brand since its launch in 1922. We learned about major innovations such as the introduction of Mr Whippy, Cornetto, Viennetta, Twister, and Carte d'Or.

Residents were treated to a singalong to Cornetto classic ads, an interactive quiz about fun Wall’s facts and best-of-all, an ice-cream tasting session. It was a delightful experience for everyone, especially our ice-cream lovers.

There's always one thing that's guaranteed to bring a smile to some of our ladies and that's a relaxing pamper session.

A pamper session is so much more than having your nails painted, it's a special individual moment. Pampering isn't only reserved for the ladies though, our gents like having their nails cared for too, but so far none have asked for the polish!
