Activities at Fountains Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
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.

Life at Fountains Care Home
National biscuit day
Biscuits… they are indeed a favourite comfort to our residents here at Fountains. Throughout the day we had a wide selection of traditional biscuits and newer biscuits. Our residents enjoyed trying newer biscuits such as Oreos. In the afternoon we had one of our Kitchen Assistance carry out a demonstration on how to make raison & oat cookies. We also had the debate of what we thought a Jaffa cake was… biscuit or cake? One resident, asked Alexa to get the answer which we now know is cake.
