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.

Blooming Beautifully

Last week here at Winchester House, we celebrated international flower day Our residents had a wonderful time making their own beautiful flower arrangements to display in their room Our brilliant manager Liza Burchell and deputy Agata Szymanska were ready to lend a helping hand with the festivities and a great afternoon was had by all Thanks again to the amazing Just Peachy Florist for providing all the colourful fresh flowers

Respecting World Brail Day

Staff and residents at Barchester’s Winchester House care home in Rochester marked World Braille Day on 4 January.   Invented by Louis Braille, a young Frenchman, each braille cell is made up of up to six dots, rather like a domino, and spells out the alphabet.   The staff and residents marked the day by trying to identify different objects by touch only and guess different flavors of cakes.
