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.

Mexican Independence Day
What a FIESTA! An afternoon of sombrero wearing, maraca shaking, piñata smashing, tortilla dipping fun!
We started the day with some fantastic Mexican-themed games, such as cactus ring toss, followed by some good ol' fashioned Mexican music, and we walked through the home offering everyone the chance to try different flavoured chips and dips.
Many of our residents hadn’t tried tortilla chips before, so it was a delight to see their faces as they tried numerous flavours, from spicy hot salsa to sour cream and, of course, the creamy guacamole.
Canvas Colouring
Residents at Winchester House just love to colour, as it is known to be very therapeutic and keeps their minds calm. Colouring on canvas is a wonderful project that we can keep going back to throughout the home, and we can look forward to displaying the finished art work up on the wall.
Shake Service
Room-to-room shake service was loved by all, as residents at Winchester House had the opportunity to try various flavours of milkshakes they’d never tried before, from strawberry and vanilla to chocolate fudge brownie and cookie dough! Each milkshake was then topped with fresh cream and a choice of sprinkles and marshmallows.
