One of the things we pride ourselves on at Heaton House is the range of activities we offer our residents. While we love getting out and about and spending time in our garden, at this time of year it’s too cold to do so. That being said, our activity calendar is still full as we find plenty to do while keeping warm.
All of our activities are specially selected for their variety of benefits they offer our residents. Below is a fantastic moment of one of our residents, Daphne, dancing along to the violinist we had visit us.
From flower arranging and card decorating to colouring and decorating cupcakes with nursery children, we know how to keep busy. Furthermore, if a resident has had a particular interest in the past, we try our very best to make sure they can still enjoy that while staying with us. We’ve even had staff go ‘jogging’ with residents around our garden!
During this colder time of the year, our activity calendar is packed with fun activities that take place inside our home. With guests coming in to play music for us or run creative sessions. There’s always something going on!
Even though our south facing back garden is used a lot less during the winter months, our picture windows still provide a fantastic view of it. Including our bird feeding area which we keep topped up for the wonderful birds that use it throughout Winter.

Once the weather does start to warm up a bit, some of our residents enjoy spending time in our heated Summerhouse with a cup of tea. It’s the perfect space to spend time with family and friends while still enjoying the garden.
Whatever the weather, we always welcome visitors to see their friends or relatives that are staying with us. Or to join in with the fun activities that are happening.
