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.

Life at Woodhorn Park Care Home
The Taste Test
The team of Woodhorn Park strive to underpin the values of Barchester in all aspects of care delivery and one of these is to gain the trust of residents.
We hosted a taste test session with a difference; each resident was offered a blindfold to wear prior to testing the food to see if they could guess what they were eating. The activity was enjoyed by all!
Microwave Baking
The ladies of Woodhorn Park have gathered together to host some microwave baking sessions. The ladies thoroughly enjoyed creating homemade biscuits and devouring them with a cup of tea. We now have a weekly baking session, where we attempt to bake cakes, sweets and biscuits.
Virtual Reality Session
Residents enjoyed a visit from the Virtual Reality team. The VR headset was loaded with local visitor attractions, including our fabulous coastline and rural countryside. Residents thoroughly enjoyed trying this new technology and reminisced about what they were seeing.
Royal Wedding Celebrations
We enjoyed a high tea with Pimm's and Prosecco whilst waving our flags and wearing homemade fascinators in recognition of the royal wedding.
In preparation for the big event, Iris and Delorus decided to create fascinators for them to wear on the big day.
Light Exercise Session
Reg, Dulcie, Diane and Irene enjoyed a morning of light exercises. Residents love to have fun and keep fit at the same time
Balloon Release
As part of Dementia Action Week, residents attached a tag to a balloon and released it. Residents, loved ones and the team had an amazing afternoon, which was rounded off with cupcakes and tea.
