We have a dedicated activities team whose sole focus is on helping residents to stay as mentally and physically active as possible.
Our unique care home in Croydon is nestled within the grounds of Whitgift School. Residents here enjoy a special connection with pupils and staff at the schools and are often treated to performances and recitals from staff and students.
They also enjoy the company of residents at Whitgift House Apartments, who often join them for afternoon tea, picnics, and garden parties.
Handrails and ramps are provided throughout – so residents can make use of the grounds and facilities, which include beautifully landscaped gardens and patios, dining and lounge areas, and even a Chapel for personal prayer or mindful reflection

Eating well
Eating properly is so important for our health and wellbeing. Particularly as we get older, it’s essential our bodies get the nutrients we need. For both our respite care and nursing care residents, dining together at least once a day is also a good reason to get people up and out of their rooms.
After all, there are not many things that can bring people together like a good meal. At Whitgift House nursing home, our chefs prepare seasonal home-cooked dishes three times a day, with every dish cooked to order for each individual within our care.
There’s also plenty of opportunity to snack in between meals, with cakes and biscuits served with tea and coffee several times a day.
- Seasonal menus
- 3 x meals a day
- Coffee mornings
- Afternoon teas
Keeping active
It’s vital we keep our minds and bodies active as we get older. Not only to bring a little joy and novelty to every day, but to make sure we keep hold of our mental and physical faculties for as long as possible.
Our homes have a dedicated activities team who ensures that every person we care for does at least one thing each day that they enjoy.
Our nursing care and respite care residents might enjoy playing backgammon with staff, listening to records together with other residents, or taking a daily walk around the grounds: whatever that individual needs to help keep them active.
