Activities at Melbourn Springs Care Home
Ensuring that our social events offer fun and adventure is a major focus of the ethos of our home; it’s important that those we support can enjoy an active and social lifestyle. Of course, there will always be those who prefer peace and quiet, and in these instances, a cup of tea and a chat will always be welcomed.
Denise Ashby
Hello, my name is Denise and I am the Activities Coordinator here at Melbourn Springs. I joined Barchester in 2022 and always strive to support and care for all of our residents in a way that best suits each individual.
Making sure that our residents have things to do that they really enjoy doing is something that I hold very close to my heart. It is so important to make sure that they are happy and enjoy all of the activities and events that we host for them.
A lot of our residents also enjoy our special trips out on our Mini Bus as we create new, special memories together at Melbourn Springs.

Life at Melbourn Springs Care Home
Carers in Hertfordshire Legal Planning Workshop in collaboration with Setfords Solicitors
Dan joined Legal Executive Gemma Young from Setfords Solicitors at the Carers in Hertfordshire Legal Planning Workshop in Royston. Planning for later life can be an absolute minefield, but with workshops such as these many concerns and questions about Lasting Power of Attorney are able to be addressed. Everyone who attended thoroughly enjoyed the event and all the exceptionally helpful information that Gemma presented.
The East Anglian Air Ambulance and Melbourn Springs
Dan was very fortunate to meet Barbara McGee, the Community Fundraising Area Manager at the East Anglian Air Ambulance in Cambridge. During his visit, Dan was able to meet the team and learn even more about the amazing work that the charity does in and around the local area. The service now operates 365 days, covering over 5,000 square miles (13,000 km2) and a population of approximately 3.5 million! First Aid is clearly just as important today as it has always been and now with defibrillator training too we all can play a part in an emergency. Watch out for our First Aid training session which will be hosting at Melbourn Springs very soon!
Melbourn Springs: The Journey so Far...
