Activities at Awel-Y-Mor 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.
Jo & Julie
Awel-Y-Mor's activities team consists of three Activities Coordinators, each having a specialist unique role within the group, including work in the multi-sensory concept, as well as organising days out, trips to sporting events and pop concerts, and arranging themed days. Jo has been with us for over ten years, beginning her Barchester career as a Carer, and Julie joined us in 2018.

Life at Awel-Y-Mor Care Home
Valentine's Lunch
Awel-Y-Mor had a lovely Valentine’s lunch. The dining room was decorated with red roses, the wine was flowing and everyone enjoyed themselves.
Burns Night
We had a great time celebrating Burns Night with residents, staff and families. On offer was cullen – a fish soup, haggis with crusty rolls, Cranachan – a creamy whiskey flavoured pudding, shortbread, whiskey and plenty of Scottish music.
Sensory Table
After months of planning and waiting, our sensory tables arrived. Thank you to resident, Barbara, who purchased this for the home.
It was set up during our weekly coffee morning for residents, staff and families to see how it worked. Everyone thought how wonderful it was and we are all looking forward to using it and having hours of fun.
Works of Art
We took a couple of residents to see the new Banksy paintings in Port Talbot. It's amazing to see his artwork so close to home.
Christmas at Awel-Y-Mor
Everyone who attended really enjoyed our Christmas Party, and even got to meet Santa Claus himself. Residents and staff also enjoyed going out for some Christmas dinner at a local restaurant.
Pen Pal Meet-Up
We took residents to the local school to see their pen pals and they got to enjoy a bake-off together.
