Activities at Southerndown Care Home
Our specialist activities staff are committed to organising a mix of activities and events for residents and the local community to get involved in, including trips out to local places of interest in our minibus and visits from entertainers and musicians. It is important to us that each individual who we support can get as much from these as possible, so we try our best to arrange activities that reflect their interests and capabilities as best as possible, and encourage them to participate in any way they can. We also encourage relatives to join with activities and events as often as they can.

Life at Southerndown Care Home
Gardening Club
We are making the most of the dry weather (when we have it) here at Southerndown by continuing to work together on getting our garden and beds prepared for summer. We popped down to the garden centre to stock up, before heading back and getting busy busy with the front of our home and planting some beautiful pinks. Great job everyone!
A photo finish!
And they’re off! A Grand National start to Baking Club at Southerndown this week. Everyone a winner and some tasty treats ahead of the race this weekend. We cant wait to all sit and watch it. Who's your money on?
Always time for tea & cake
We can always make time for tea & cake wherever we go.We had a lovely Cotswold drive today followed by tea and cake at The Old Shed. It was great trip out and it was nice to see the scenery and also the spring lambs. Every week we make time for trips out as part of our life enrichment programme here at Southerndown.
Happy Easter from Southerndown
What a weekend we’ve had full of Easter fun and games.
Firstly we have had our fabulous Easter bonnet parade and I think we can agree we all look amazing
Then it was out in the wonderful British weather for our Easter egg hunt!
Happy Easter!!!
Strictly Come Sailing
We had our eagerly anticipated dance competition entry after several weeks of intense dancing. We were kindly joined by Lizzie from Sun-Raye dance classes who has been helping us with our competition entry. Residents chose to perform to the classic Rod Stewart song Sailing and dressed up for the occasion. Well done all!
Pub Lunch
For our mini bus outing this week we decided that a lads trip to the pub would be very welcome so we headed to one of our locals in Chipping Norton.
We enjoyed socialising and the food was fantastic as usual, and when in a Hook Norton pub what could be better that to have a couple of pints of the local favourite ‘a pint (or two) of Hooky Beer’
Needless to say we all thoroughly enjoyed the pub lunch and we are already busy planning our next pub lunch.
