Activities at Hafan-Y-Coed Care Home
We understand that the people we support have passions and interests that could be difficult to pursue after moving into a care home – but that doesn’t mean we don’t encourage them to try! Some hobbies can define a person, so our Activities Coordinators are dedicated to ensuring that everyone we support is able to do what makes them happy to the best of their abilities. Social events are organised with individual tastes in mind and with the idea that residents have the opportunity to try new and exciting things.

I'm Marie, the lead activities coordinator for Hafan Y Coed. I have been the activities coordinator for nearly three years and am passionate about encouraging the wellbeing of our residents. Ensuring all abilities are catered for in a bespoke schedule is paramount to their individual wellbeing needs. I am joined by Clare and Sue who also help to create a life enrichment program suitable for all communities.

Life at Hafan-Y-Coed Care Home
Gents Day Out
The gents enjoyed a trip to the local pub for an afternoon of chatting, eating and having a well-deserved pint! Thank you to The Strady Arms for welcoming us. They had a lovely afternoon.
Candle Making
The residents enjoyed a candle making class, where they decorated them for gifts for family members. Some residents got a little too excited with the glitter!
A trip out
We went to the local Concert venue to enjoy a cream tea and concert for the extended Jubilee celebration. A great day was had by all who went on this trip.
Gardening Club
Gardening fun ready for the summer! We have welcomed Christine, one of our residents wife’s, to help plant some flowers in the grounds. I think you’ll all agree how wonderful they look!
Baking
We enjoy baking at least once a week. Here the residents are seen enjoying baking Fairy Cakes! These pictures demonstrate all residents, no matter what ability can help with the baking method and all are encouraged to join in the fun
Jubilee Celebrations
We hosted an action packed week of fun to celebrate the Queens Jubilee. We invited Cor Cariad Choir, Leo the Llamas and friends, Carmarthenshire Party Horses and hosted our very own street party. A great week was had by all the residents!
