Activities at Winchester House Care Home
Our activities team are constantly striving to mentally and physically stimulate those we support by organising group and individual activities for anyone and everyone to participate in. There are regular outings in the minibus to nearby places of interest, including the local priory and garden centres, as well as visits from musicians, a wide range of entertainers. We are lucky enough to have a enthusiastic team of volunteers who regularly visit the home throughout the week, and our yearly pantomime is a real crowd-pleaser and is well-attended by residents, relatives and members of staff. Activities are one of the most important aspects of a care home, so it is essential that our team are dedicated to ensuring that residents are entertained, and that life at Winchester House is fun and active.

Life at Winchester House Care Home
Easter Celebrations
We have had so much fun here at Winchester House over the Easter holidays, we did Easter crafts, were our residents made masks and eggs to hang on a tree, We also had PJ & Rose and also Not Nat King Cole performers in, to sing for our residents, which they loved. we also did a Easter egg hunt for our friends and families and also the local community. We held a Easter colouring competition for children to win an Easter egg, I’d like to say that this did go down very well.
Nutrition and Hydration Week
Winchester House enjoys getting involved with lots of different activities, but when it comes to food related, we especially make an effort, as our residents love trying all different kinds of foods. So that’s why we treated them to lots of fruit and snacks for Nutrition and Hydration week, we also had smoothies and healthy juices for them to try.
St Patrick's Day
Winchester House, was very honoured to have a visit from a local Irish dancing Academy for St Patricks day. We were overwhelmed with the amount of friends and family that came to support them. Our Residents had the best time watching them dancing. They even took the time to talk to some of our residents after they had performed.

We also had beer tasting throughout the day, so our Residents could taste all the different kinds of beer and ale. They found this very interesting and enjoyed the day.
