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

Life at Hafan-Y-Coed Care Home
Do Not Pass Go!
If there is one board game you can really get into it is Monopoly and what better way to spend a rainy afternoon with friends. Thank you Louise for joining in and ensuring fair play! We all agreed we like to play the original version and wondered how long it had been around as everyone knows Monopoly. A quick check on Google and the first version was created in 1902 which is incredible!
Basket Creations at Gardening Club
Rain wasn't forecast, but it didn't stop us planting! We planted up lots of lovely baskets and planters in our gardening club. The array of colour looks stunning, residents really enjoy spending time outside tending to and sat in our gardens.
Sarah Celebrates 15 Years Service
We would like to say a huge thank you to one of our long serving carers Sarah. Sarah joined the team in 2006 and has dedicated 15 years of love and care to Hafan-Y-Coed and our residents. Sarah is a fantastic carer and is thought of highly by staff and residents alike. Thank you Sarah for your continued dedication and hard work.
Gentleman's Club
Gentleman's Club is always different but one thing that is consistent is usually there is beer! This week the gents were treated to a delicious fish and chip lunch. Thank you to our local chippie Migels Fish Bar. Sat out in the sun it was like everyone was on holiday.
Belle Honoured
Our night team champion Maria has recently started ‘Thank you for being you’ gifts for the team. Each month a member of the team will be chosen to receive a hamper of goodies for their efforts. Our first recipient one of our night Care Assistants Belle. Belle is a valued member of the night team, hardworking and a joy to be around. She loves to sing for the residents when she is on shift and brings in homemade meals for the staff to enjoy. Thank you for being you Belle! We all appreciate you.
National Video Game Day!
Hafan-Y-Coed joined in the video game day by playing Wii resort and Wii Sports. It is always a giggle and can get quite competitive - we all agreed we must get the Wii out more often!
