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
Dominoes Competition
Here at Westvale House we have come to an end of our Dominoes competition. A huge Congratulations went to Marie who won the other contestants by a very close final. Each resident won a game so we had an extra game to have play off until Marie put down her last dominoes.
Marie was presented with a trophy #warringtontrophyworld to mark the occasion by Jackie Bray our Home Manager, who also presented the three runners up with a medal.
Congratulations all round to all who took part! Jackie asked "What is the next tournament going to be?" The residents have decided on a Darts Tournament next!
Nutrition and Hydration Week
Today at Westvale House we have made our own smoothies and juices. We have mixed blueberries with bananas, strawberries with bananas, summer fruits and apples.
Then came the taste test, some were nicer then others but overall summer fruits with apples and orange juice became a firm favourite along with the banana and blueberries.
With music playing in the background we had an enjoyable afternoon.
Live entertainment
Westvale House have enjoyed live singing by Joe Cockx - Everyone's Favourite Grandson Joe is popular with our residents and they love to sing along with his songs.
Of course whenever we have a singer the musical instruments and pom poms come out so the residents can get involved.
