Activities at Hafan-Y-Coed Care Home
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.
Marie Spires
Marie Joined Hafan Y Coed in February as the Lead Activities Coordinator. Marie has come from a Sales and Marketing background but has always had an interest in working in the care sector. Marie will lead the activities team and have a lot of input in the day to day organising and planning of events. Marie said “ I am very excited to have been given the opportunity to making a difference to the life enrichment for the residents. I like to make people happy and think my bubbly personality will brighten the residents day. I have a love for singing and will definitely be heard around the home for sure! I hope our new activities team will make a huge difference to the day to day lives of the residents at Hafan y Coed

Christmas Light Switch on with Cor Meibion
What a magical night it was at our Christmas light switch on, it was lovely to see everyone. There was a fantastic performance by Cor Meibion choir, festive nibbles and drinks and of course the switch on of our lights which we can now all enjoy every evening.
Christmas Light Switch on Preparation
We are nearly ready for our Christmas lights switch on next week! Now to put up our 11ft fresh Christmas tree….think we may need to get the ladder out to decorate this one!
Residents Mark Remembrance with Poppy Display
Hafan-Y-Coed residents have been making poppy decorations and wreaths to form part of the stunning display in the home. With residents who were children or teens during World War II along with many war time babies, it has been so interesting to hear about their memories of those years.
