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
Fantastic Chair Yoga
One of our many activities here at Winchester House that is focused on wellbeing and exercise is Chair Yoga.
Our residents really enjoy it
Chair yoga is a great way for older adults to get the wonderful health benefits such as loosening and stretching painful muscles, reducing chronic pain, decreasing stress, and improving circulation.
Grand National
We had a great afternoon last week watching the Grand National and placing our best bets.
Our residents picked a horse from all the runners and everyone got excited when the race at Aintree Racecourse started.
The hospitality team treated our residents with a lovely buffet of delicious sweet and savoury treats, which were washed down with a glass of bubbly.
It was a lovely day, enjoyed by all.
Baby Bump
This is Amber our head of activities and her fabulous baby bump.
Here at Winchester House staff and residents are busy preparing for Queens Platinum Jubilee celebrations on Friday 3rd June.
We have a great day of family fun planned with entertainment all day including games, refreshments and a BBQ. We are so looking forward to it
Tea cup flower's
This week Winchester House care home was donated some beautiful flowers in memory of a very lovely lady.
Residents and staff arranged the lovely flowers in our bone china tea cups which were then placed around our homes for all to enjoy.
Pancake Day here at Winchester House
March 1st, Shrove Tuesday, Pancake Day and St David's Day.
So much to celebrate. Staff and residents had a fantastic time tossing their pancakes and choosing their filling.
Sadly, not all pancakes made it successfully to the plate
