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

Rosie - Our Pet therapy Dog

This isRosie, Our Pets As Therapy Dog, who visits every week   It’s common knowledge and proven scientifically that interaction with dogs and pets provide numerous benefits to their owners. Therapy dogs can benefit seniors in both expected and unexpected ways.   Therapy dogs are being increasingly used as a fairly new form of treatment that is gaining traction in the healthcare field. Once known mainly as a holistic approach to health and wellness, dog therapy has become recognized more as a popular and conventional approach to care. Components of dog therapy can be seen on college campuses, hospitals, and even airports around the globe.    Dog therapy is intended to offer support for happiness and comfort. Recipients are often afflicted with illness, experiencing stress and anxiety, or battling depression. Often, the dogs and associated therapy programs are misunderstood.
