Activities
The physical, emotional and spiritual needs of our residents are of utmost importance to us. We have an activity team in place that cover a 7-day week. They will work with residents on an individual basis to ensure that activities are formulated to a person-centred need. We pride ourselves on our fun filled schedule and this is also circulated to the relatives to encourage active, meaningful participation and to build friendships. We have a visiting C of E congregation that attends once a month and this consists of prayer and singing. For more information please visit our Facebook Page.
The daily schedule includes both individual and group activities and adapted to suit resident's preference and personality.
Bus Trip to the local Asda for some shopping
The staff and volunteers organise a number of day trips and outings throughout the year, this could be trips that we all take for granted such as a bus journey to the local supermarket or competitive activities such as ten pin bowling. Our residents also attend regular community based activities such as the fortnightly Dementia Choir that is based in Hornchurch.
Special in-house entertainment and events are organised regularly. We also celebrate residents’ birthdays with freshly made cakes from the kitchen, and themed menus mark other important calendar events.
Programme of Events
Our activities schedule for both Residential Care and Dementia Care residents includes:
Doll therapy providing comfort and maternal instinct
Volunteers
We welcome family, friends and volunteers involvement in our activities programme and our outings. We would love to hear from any willing volunteers who can give their time to make a positive difference to our residents’ daily lives. Whether sharing skills, lending a hand, fundraising or simply being there to chat with residents, giving your time can make a real difference. Any practical help or ideas for events are always appreciated. Please contact our activities team here.
Please note: For our residents’ safety and security, all volunteers are subject to a necessary DBS check. George Brooker House meets the associated cost of this.
