Activites at Woodhorn Park Care Home

Residents and colleagues celebrated World Cocktail in style with a session filled with fun and themed activities including cocktails and mocktails which tested the taste buds!

The residents were treated to a cocktail tasting event where they enjoyed tasting different cocktails, before finishing the day by mixing their own cocktails. 

Woodhorn Park marked the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day in style by throwing a 1940s afternoon tea party to remember. 

The home was decorated in red, white and blue and residents and staff dressed up in their 1940s-inspired glad rags and enjoyed an afternoon of music and dancing. Head chef Bob whipped up a delicious selection of freshly-baked biscuits, sandwiches, cakes and pastries for the occasion. 

We had a fun-filled day as we raised a glass and tasted top ales in recognition of National Beer Day.
Our residents enjoyed a mini-beer festival and got involved in a variety of engaging activities. 

Some of our residents spent time learning about craft brewing and the history of beer; others preferred to attend the beer tasting session and try beers from all around the world. It was a wonderful day, enjoyed by all.

We were busy celebrating Pancake Day, also known as Shove Tuesday, with a variety of delicious pancakes and yummy toppings. Our residents had a wonderful day, filled with pancake-inspired activities. They prepared homemade pancakes and decorated them with bananas, syrup and chocolate.  

We watched some hilarious pancake races and some of our residents reminisced about childhood memories and making pancakes for their own children. It was a fun day, enjoyed by all.

This week, our residents have been enjoying all things Crufts - the world’s greatest dog show! From watching incredible agility displays to reminiscing about their own pets, it’s been a wonderful time for all.

We even hosted our very own dog show; residents named us Woodhorn Wags. We had visits from some special four-legged friends to do tricks, have cuddles and win a prize. Homemade rosettes and treats were given to the prize winners. These brought joy and smiles to everyone! 

Dusters at the Ready! Residents enjoyed a morning of familiar household chores. Residents enjoyed dusting and polishing and pegging up the washing. 

Residents also enjoyed folding towels and wiping down the handrails to keep their home clean and tidy.
Residents enjoyed doing the daily chores supporting their independence.

Our home was filled with flowers and cards as we celebrated the day of love with sweet treats and thoughtful gifts to the sound of classic songs. 

We marked the occasion by starting with a Valentine's craft morning, followed by us hosting our residents a Valentine’s afternoon tea. We enjoyed sweet teats, sandwiches and tea and coffee. This was enjoyed by all along with love songs serenading us while we ate and chatted amongst our tables.

It was a beautiful day and heart-warming to see everyone come together to celebrate. 

Today we hosted the Woodhorn Park Senior Darts Championship, inspired by the Darts Premier League.

Residents went head-to-head in a competition of skill and precision. Fun was had by all as we named our darts champion with a prize of a trophy and a certificate.

Today we celebrated what would have been the King of Rock & Roll’s birthday. 

It’s estimated Elvis sold over one billion records worldwide, so we enjoyed a day of music, fun and dancing in his honour and found out some interesting facts about him too.

Residents then enjoyed a movie about how Elvis became the king of rock and roll on our cinema screen and enjoyed snacks and refreshments.
