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
Comic Relief
Head Chef, Lloyd, made some Comic Relief biscuits, then he later had his chest waxed, along with Kane from maintenance.
Jonathan & Shona took on the egg challenge… Is the egg raw or boiled? Residents would pick whose head the egg would be cracked on, but little did Shona and Jonathan know that they were all raw.
St David's Day
Everyone at Hafan-Y-Coed had a great time celebrating St David's Day.
Mothering Sunday
The ladies enjoyed a variety of sandwiches and cakes, all home made by our Head Chef and the activities team. They were washed down with a cup of tea or coffee and even a glass of prosecco.
A Kind Donation
A huge thank you to the Sheesh Mahal in Llanelli for bringing lovely curries for all the staff. The food was delicious!
Works of Art
Many thanks to Halfway Primary School for their lovely pictures drawn for the residents. They have really brightened up the home and the lives of our residents.
