Activities at Melbourn Springs Care Home

We had an impromptu afternoon of music and dancing yesterday when Andrew decided that he wanted to treat us to his amazing talents on the keyboard.

As soon as the music started the ladies were up on their feet showing us their very best moves!!

These moments are always the best as it shows the residents living their lives to the fullest.

We love it!!!

Jenny loved having her nails treated and it was lovely to spend some quality 1 to 1 time with her.

Our Room Buddy activities are very successful activities at Melbourn Springs. The residents let us know of anything that they would like whether it be room improvements, hand care or zoom calls to friends and family.

Even if it is as simple as a cup of tea and somebody to have a chat with, our activities team always deliver.

Our fabulous residents on Memory Lane have been enjoying spending time on our Magic Table.

For anybody who is not aware of what this is, the magic table is a series of interactive light projected games. Research has shown how effective interactive light care be in care home settings, and how beneficial it can be to residents’ well-being, especially those living with dementia. 

The other benefits of the Magic Table include enhanced relationships between residents, an increase in physical, social and cognitive activity and a positive effect upon well-being by improving mood, reducing apathy and restlessness, as well as increasing engagement levels especially across the mid-to-late stages of dementia

We love seeing how the residents react to the Magic Table and we are always available to demonstrate how it works to our resident families and loved ones.

It was celebration time at Melbourn Springs at the weekend as we celebrated John's Birthday with a special party.

John had a lovely time, along with his friends and family as we had live entertainment, music, games and the all important Birthday Cake.

Another great event at Melbourn Springs and we hope you had a great Birthday, John.

It has been all fun and games at Melbourn Springs in the last 24 hours.

The residents have been enjoying playing mini golf, ball games, bean bag target games and, of course, the obligatory games of dominoes.

Lots of friendly competition and even more smiley, happy faces!!!

It's been another busy and fun-filled weekend at Melbourn Springs.

In between watching the football and the tennis, the residents have been showing their creative side this weekend.

We have been making bookmarks which we will be looking to sell at future events to raise some money for local charities.
