News & events
"Hello, my name is Anna and I am the well-being coordinator at Alverstoke House. I have worked at the home for over 15 years, originally as a carer, before taking on the role of providing activities. As well as activities, I lay on events for the residents and organize for groups to come in and perform. There is never a dull moment in my job and each day is different. What I like most is seeing what a difference being able to spend time with a resident or providing them with an activity makes. From completing a crossword with someone to organizing a Christmas party, it all plays a part in enabling people to have the best quality of life they can."

Our Resdients have been planting seeds ready to go into the garden. We are looking forward to having lots of lovely new flowers this spring.
Dance Class
We have been going great guns with our seated dance class. It is led by members of the MS society and is a very laid back and informal class with music which really gets the heart pumping. The residents can do as much or as little as they like or if desired just sit back and listen to the music. It certainly gives us all a giggle.
Fancy a Coffee
We have been holding our monthly coffee morning/residents’ meetings’. These meetings give the residents an opportunity to talk about what they are happy/unhappy with within the home and to voice any suggestions they may have for Well-being or the home as a whole.

Beach Day Out
We are intending to take some of the residents down to the beach for an ice-cream. Weather permitting this will be this coming week.
Buffet 'n' Songs
On the 10th July, we were intending to hold our Summer fete. Due to the lockdown not finishing in time, having to limit numbers and the singer already booked, we are having to revise our plans. We will now hold a buffet for the residents to enjoy and have the singer in the afternoon. This event will be for residents only. We will then look to holding a summer fete later in August when we should be able to invite all relatives. Apologies for any disappointment.
Resident's Meeting
