Activities at Woodside House
Our activities team deliver a wide variety of mentally and physically stimulating activities and events for those we support, including coffee afternoons, which we hold every month for the local community, regular outings in our minibus, and visits from entertainers and musicians. Monthly resident meetings help us to ensure that those living here are getting the most out of our activities programme, and that our social events reflect their interests and capabilities as best as possible. From growing our own vegetables to making giant paper-mâché animals, there is always something fun going on at Woodside House.
Sam Lake
My name is Sam and I lead our Activities Team at Woodside House.
I have been at Woodside House since 2004 and I love it here. I am responsible for ensuring that the residents are able to participate in sociable, fun and rewarding activities. My team and I are very passionate about our work and love putting smiles on the residents' faces.
We involve the residents in the planning of our activity calendars and encourage residents to continue with the hobbies that they have enjoyed throughout their lives. We will support every resident to try new things and we love learning from our residents every day.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Woodside House Care Home
Crazy Hat Day!
For Day 5 of spirit week, we decided to have a crazy hat day here at Woodside!
Everyone had such a laugh!
Smoothie Making!
During Nutrition and Hydration week here at Woodside, we had a wonderful time making a variety of smoothies!
We created a colourful selection of smoothies, all made with fresh and frozen fruit - these were enjoyed by all!
Nutrition and Hydration Week
For nutrition and hydration week, we had a beautiful selection of all sorts of sweet and savoury treats!
These were cooked and prepared by our catering department here at Woodside, and everything went down a treat!
Nail Day!
One of the activities here at Woodside House, which is a favourite, is having Katie, our Gel nails technician, come to visit.
We love to be able to keep in contact with the community and love being able to remain independent.
Valentine's Day Celebrations!
On February 14th we had amazing Valentine's Treats to celebrate the day.
We had a lovely meal cooked by our head chef, Kim, and we set the table ready for the evening - we really did feel the love here at Woodside House!
Owl Visit!
We had a lovely morning here at Woodside. We got to have a visit from the Norfolk Owls and learn all about how to handle them.
It was lovely to see how affectionate and tame they are! Pet therapy is so important for us all at Woodside as it supports our well-being!
