Activities at Cubbington Mill Care Home
Every day we run different activities throughout our home. The activities are designed and adapted to each individuals personal needs. The activities are designed to mentally and physically stimulate the people we care for and also to enhance their life skills and feelings of purpose and self-worth. The activities encourage interaction on a one to one basis, in small groups, in large groups and some are designed for the whole home including staff to be involved in.
We are registered with the National Activity Providers Association (NAPA) which ensures we are able to achieve and continually progress to enhance the quality of life for those we support in the home. We provide entertainers such as singers, musicians, magicians, puppeteers, poets and dancers. We also have regular exercise classes and arts and craft classes. Relatives and visitors will be able to see what me make in these classes on display around the home. We have regular trips out on the mini bus to visit garden centres, enjoy high tea, visit the butterfly farm and spend the day at the zoo with a picnic. We encourage the local community, schools, colleges and relatives to come and join us for activities, tea and cake and to visit to share their skills as much as possible.
Staff from across the home are always willing to help and share their knowledge and skills across a whole range of activities we have had everything from carers preforming Bollywood style dancing to cooking classes from the chef. We feel activities are a vital part of the residents lives to ensure they are stimulated mentally and entertained.

Suns Out - Water Colours Out
This afternoon after being very brave at the dentist Zoe, Christine and Thelma cooled down in reception by painting some magic pictures from Relish
We had a Robin, Hedgehog and Carrot as they dried they disappeared, to be done over and over again! How good is that and no need to stay in the lines either
Sometimes it’s the little things that mean the most as Betty reminisced about doing something similar when she was younger and Christine gave a helping hand to Zoe.
OAP Community Connections
This afternoon Betty & John enjoyed “Snack & a Chat” at Cubbington Village Hall with the OAP association in the local community. We played dominos and carpet bowls with a cup of tea followed by an ice cream and raffle. What a great afternoon!
Paddling Pool Fun
Is there any better way to cool down in this heatwave then to dip your feet into cool water with a refreshing Ice lolly!
Exercise Class was a Ball!
Betty was certainly pleased to see Mick from G-fitness back with us after a well earned holiday away relaxing. Not to mention the glorious tan!
We will all end our workout with a cool down in the shade and an ice lolly, very well deserved too.
World Chocolate Day
What better day is there to celebrate? Whether you like it milk, white or dark, round, square or oblong, plain or with a bit of crunch! In a cake or drizzled over fruit, everyone today enjoyed a piece or two!
