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
We LOVE Valentine's Day
We have been spreading love all over the home by making cards and reminiscing on all the love in our lives, past and present. This week we’ve heard some amazing stories about childhood sweethearts, romantic proposals and life long marriages. For both residents and staff it's been a really lovely experience.
Nominate your local Hero
Via social media we asked people to nominate their local hero's. Nominees included Staff Member's, local teachers and NHS works. The residents chose the amazing members of our community that they felt were their hero's and we supplied the chocolates and flowers. Thank you so much for all you do
Maintaining our Healthy Balanced Diet
Vaccination's
The Staff at Winchester House had their vaccines at St Mary's Medical Centre in Strood. Amber, our activities team leader said the process was slick and professional. Thank you St Mary's for looking after our team so well. Our residents have been vaccinated at Winchester House for their wellbeing and comfort they didn't have to leave their home. A massive thank you to all involved from our residents and staff.
Games Afternoon
Several of our residents love nothing more than a afternoon pool tournament or a game of magnetic darts. Or activities team always makes sure this is possible and sometimes even has a game or two with the residents themselves.
Festive and New Years Quiz
Residents and Staff gathered together to take part in Barchester's BIGGEST ever Christmas quiz. Over 80 care homes through out the south division took part. Winchester House is very proud to say that we finished within the top half. There was lots of laughter and a fun time was had by all.
