Activities at Snowdrop Place Care Home
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.

Cook Off for Barchester's Charitable Foundation
We are proud share our Managing Director, Natasha Lazovic, is taking part in a Charity Cook off for the Barchester Foundation which takes place on the 29th of May.
The event is to raise awareness and funds for Barchester's Charitable Foundation, who do incredible work supporting vulnerable people and helping connect them to their local communities, combating isolation and loneliness.
Natasha will be going head to head in some healthy competition with her colleagues from the other divisions in the company and on the day Natasha will have to cook a main course and a dessert, crafted from her own recipes, which will be judged on creativity and taste by members of Barchester’s Executive Team.
We wish her the very best of luck and if you would like to support Natasha and give to this very worthy charity please use this link here to donate.
A visit from the Brownies!
The Brownies of the 6th Hedge End Brownie group joined us for board games & fun last night, they brought along some classics & a few new games to play with the residents.
The fishing game seemed to be the game of choice with giraffes in scarfs also being a big hit with everyone.
The residents thoroughly enjoyed themselves playing old & new games. Some residents who had been girl guides were very intrigued swell in how different girl guiding is today & how much it has changed over the years.
A massive thank you to Brown Owl Ali Noyce and the 6th Hedge End Brownies for a lovely evening.
Concert from School Children
The children from Berrywood Primary School entertained our residents with songs from their spring concert.
Our residents had a fabulous afternoon listening and singing along to their favourite songs performed by the children

Sensory Theatre Visit for Residents
Residents and staff from Snowdrop Place Care Home in Hedge End enjoyed a visit to their local theatre to see “On the Beach,” an interactive sensory experience for people living with dementia. The immersive story of a day in the life of a working beach was performed through dance, music, and non-verbal storytelling. One resident said, “It was such a wonderful experience, it felt like we were really at the beach - the sounds and colours were fantastic. I wanted to take off my socks and shoes and go for a paddle!”
