Our activities schedule is tailored to suit all residents, these include bingo, music sessions, sing-a-longs, art classes, reminiscence sessions and a variety of interactive games using an innovative and unique computer system. Gardens and outside areas We have four patios and a lavender-lined walkway offering an opportunity for relaxation and exercise. All areas are secure and accessible to residents. Here they can walk and enjoy all that the garden has to offer safely and securely. Our fish pond has a variety of fish, including some specimen Japanese Koi Carp. Two stunning water features add a lovely finishing touch to the grounds. Numerous bird feeders around the grounds attract lots of native birds, including both green and spotted woodpeckers. Meals are regularly served outside in the summer and we also offer a barbecue for relatives to use on visits if they choose. Animals The White House has numerous animals to add extra interest and stimulation. Pigs, pygmy goats, wallabies, along with a large variety of waterfowl and ornamental ducks. The ducks dip and dive with a beautiful pair of black swans on the pond. Our aviary offers a seating area which looks onto an array of exotic birds including fire tails, cutthroats, robinas, canaries, diamond doves, Chinese painted quail, zebra finches and peacocks. We also encourage our residents to bring their own, well-behaved pets to stay. Pub In 2016, we opened our very own pub, "Kev's Corner", named after Kevin Moore, former Saints player, assisted by his wife, daughter and teammate Francis Benali. Kev's Corner is located in our courtyard, which has been transformed into the pub garden, with seating, planting and a water feature. The pub is fully equipped with beer pumps, a dartboard and sporting memorabilia and once a month it hosts our themed meals. ©2019 by The White House. Follow us on Facebook Join our team Contact Us
