Life at Shockerwick House Care Home

Activities are a vital part of care, encouraging social interaction, improving appetites and sleep patterns. We encourage residents' own interests, and try to plan something fun every day.

    Our activities

    At Shockerwick House we have a dedicated co-ordinator to ensure there is a wide range of interesting activities to choose from. We encourage feedback from residents and relatives so that we can tailor our program to get everyone involved.

    Our relaxation sessions, with manicure are always popular. If that sounds a little tame, then there's the annual dog show, which has become a great favourite among residents. The annual performances of Shakespeare plays and garden songs of praise are also popular features of the Shockerwick House calendar. Friends and relatives are also welcome to join in the fun or attend the regular community and fundraising events.

    Monthly outings are arranged for residents and there is also croquet which can be played in the garden.

    You'll find only fresh ingredients in our food, including homegrown vegetables and fruit from our orchard.

Upon arrival we sit down with every new resident and discuss likes and dislikes as well as any specific dietary needs.
