Activities at Melbourn Springs Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life. 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.

Life at Melbourn Springs Care Home
Happy Birthday Audrey
We had an amazing day yesterday at Melbourn Springs as we celebrated our very own Audrey's Birthday.
Chef prepared a very special Birthday cake and we all sang Happy Birthday to Audrey. We also had the brilliant Trevor Bugie at the home for a good old fashioned sing-song.
We hope that you had an excellent Birthday, Audrey!!
A trip to the Garden Centre
Regularly popping out for coffee, pub lunches, mini-bus trips, and other outings is an essential part of our weekly activity calendar.
We will remember them
We were proud to be part of the Remembrance Day parade through Melbourn Village yesterday as we paid our respects to all of the Men and Women who sacrificed their lives for our freedom. It is always a time of deep reflection for our residents and every year they want to be a part of the parade.
Once back at the home there was a lovely hot drink and biscuits waiting for the residents.
We will also be observing the two-minute silence today at 11:00 as we remember the guns falling silent.
We will remember them...
Fireworks Nights at Melbourn Springs
Hot drinks and snacks were also provided for everybody and we there were lots of very happy faces at the end of the show!!
National celebrations and family-friendly events are just some of the ways that we ensure the residents at Melbourn Springs remain connected with their loved ones and the wider community.
The Magic of Music
The methods and mediums may change but the heart of live music - the communal joy, the shared emotions, the collective energy - remains untouched. As we look to the future, one thing is clear: live music will continue to be a cherished experience at Melbourn Springs, even as its form and format evolve.
Pebbles and Bubbles come to say hello
One of the residents said how lovely it was that they had both visited her in her room and how, when she tells her son about it he will ask her if she has been drinking as a pony doesn't usually turn up in your room!!!
Residents at Melbourn Springs love the animal interaction sessions that our dedicated Activities Team organise. As one of the foundations of our Life Enrichment program, we know that animal interactions can help reduce blood pressure and improve overall cardiovascular health.
