Woodside House Residential Home

The days are drawing closer for Woodside to attend a local fete at the end of this month!

Our Wellbeing Co-ordinator, Lesley, is cracking the whip as everyone works hard to create as many handmade items as possible.

In a recent craft session, Styrofoam circles and hearts were wrapped with colourful wool.

Woodside must admit—they turned out beautifully!

Christmas decorations will soon be added to give them their final festive touch.

Keep an eye out for the finished results!

Woodside welcomed its hairdresser last week!

The ladies enjoyed a relaxing shampoo, cut, and blow-dry, while the gentlemen were treated to a smart razor haircut.

There is nothing better than feeling pampered—everyone left the salon looking and feeling wonderful.

Woodside holds reminiscence sessions on all kinds of different themes.

Musical reminiscence is always a favourite—especially when the singers are from one’s own era.

This week, Woodside enjoyed watching a young Tom Jones on our large TV, performing “Delilah” and other well-known hits.

His music certainly transported one back to the “green, green grass of home.”

One could not resist a dance or two!

Woodside Wishes You a Happy and Healthy October!

Through the windows, we see the leaves on the trees turning beautiful shades of yellow and brown—a sure sign that winter is on its way.

But before we get there, let’s take time to enjoy the wonders of Autumn!

At Woodside, Autumn brings colourful and spooky activities. We're kicking off the month with some eerie fun, all the way to Halloween.

Keep an eye out for spooky pumpkins, mysterious ghosts, and chilling sounds in the air...

Because Woodside ain't afraid of no ghosts! 👻

All spruced up ready for winter # Woodside House

Woodside hosts special activity days that encourage everyone to dance, sing, and connect with each another. These events are not only a great way to stay active, but they also play an important role in building meaningful relationships among residents.

At the heart of the care we provide is a focus on positivity and well-being.

Music and movement are powerful tools that support this — helping to uplift spirits while offering carers valuable insights into each resident’s personality and preferences. This understanding allows us to tailor future activities and continue delivering the high standard of care Woodside is known for.

The residents had a fantastic afternoon, spending time on their feet singing, dancing, and enjoying drinks together. There was a lively atmosphere throughout, with staff members also joining in on the fun and sharing a few dances with our residents.

Moments like these are truly special — they not only bring joy and energy to the Home, but also help to strengthen the bonds between residents and staff, creating a sense of community and connection that’s at the heart of everything we do.
