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.

    Depending on its size, new residents are welcome to bring furniture to their new room. Many of our residents bring a favourite armchair or pictures and other small belongings to personalise their room.

    This depends on availability of rooms in the home, understanding the cost of care and the person moving in receiving a care assessment.
