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
Wedding Anniversary
Our resident couple had a lovely celebration to mark their 48th Wedding anniversary. Congratulations both!
Bunting Competition
Here is a lovely picture from Halfway School who recently did a Bunting competition for us at Hafan Y Coed. Residents and managers picked the winners and residents went to the school to deliver the prizes. The children and residents were thrilled.
St David’s Day
The residents enjoyed a fun day doing arts and crafts in preparation for St David’s Day, with Marie, our Activities Coordinator. This generated a sense of purpose and wellbeing for all involved and certainly lifted the residents' mood. Happy St David’s Day from all at Hafan-Y-Coed Care Home.
A Day in Spain
We chose Spain as our country of the moth. We have explored the culture, music and food. Team members dressed as Spanish waiters, danced and sang to Spanish music and finished the day with an afternoon themed quiz. The residents had a great time.
20 Years of Hair Styling and Chatting
Tracy has been the Hafan-Y-Coed hair dresser for over 20 years. She is wonderful with the residents and they all enjoy their visits to the inhouse salon. Today Jean really enjoyed being pampered.
Rock n Roll
Residents had a fun afternoon enjoying some rock and roll classics including a full dance to Reet Petite. The upbeat music led to a fabulous sing a long, what a fun afternoon.
