Activities at Woodhorn Park Care Home
Activities make up the most important part of all our days at Woodhorn park, so we ensure a variety of social events are available that reflect the interests of all the people we support. In our Memory Lane community, we have group conversations and regularly reminiscence about past experiences, which is something that people living with dementia really enjoy. Many residents love gardening, baking, outings, pet care and gentle exercise, which we provide, along with many other wholesome activities, as it is essential that life at Woodhorn Park is fun and active.

Open Day
We hosted a Downton Abbey-themed open day and became Woohorn Park Manor for afternoon. The team were dressed in periodic costumes whilst residents and visitors enjoyed an afternoon of lawn games, crocquet and boules. High tea mimicked traditional menus from 1920s, and was served from our finest china. There were cucumber sandwiches, a selection of cheeses and chutneys, which could all be washed down with a cup of tea.

Deli-Licious
Patricia, who is married to one of our residents who lives within our memory lane community visits the local Deli -Licious on a daily basis for a cup of coffee and a cheeky sticky bun before visiting the home. Tracy raised £40.00 during the Christmas Festive Period and kindly donated the monies to the resident's comfort fund. Thank you so much Patricia and Tracy for your kind thoughts!

Christmas Fayre
We held our Christmas Fayre just before Christmas. The weather was atrocious yet the support we received from our lovely families was astounding! We raised a grand total of £550 for our residents funds, so a massive thank you to everyone.
One of the residents, her daughter and grand-daughter enjoyed a visit to Santa’s grotto. Senior Carer Emma's daughter, our own little fairy, also visited Santa. She said ‘I have been a good girl all the time!’ as Emma raised here eyebrows!
