Activities at Silverbirch House 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.
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.

I am thrilled to join Barchester because of its outstanding reputation for providing exceptional care and a warm, community-focused environment. In my role, I will be dedicated to creating enriching programs that promote social interaction and well-being, helping both residents and their families feel supported and connected.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies

We are so delighted that our minibus is now here. We have already paid a visit to the local garden center and we are now planning our next trip.

Yoga Afternoon
Yoga Afternoon
Today, we had the lovely Adiyog - Yoga and well being visit us at Silverbirch House.
Adiyog worked through a seated yoga routine with the residents bringing calm and concentration to the room.
Yoga has so many benefits, it can help with balance, pain relief, it can help us to sleep better and it benefits the heart. These are just some of the reasons we know a weekly session is extremely beneficial for our residents.
Sunday Service

This Sunday, some of our residents came together to take part in the Sunday church service. Between them, they chose the hymns that were sung and the scriptures read.
We are looking forward to the group growing and having a regular meeting.

They came for their initial induction with Luba and Angela, the homes life enrichment team, and our residents are very much looking forward to seeing them on a regular occasion!
Inter-generational Fun!
We have been lucky enough to have a visit from the local Home Education Group.
Some children from the group came to meet our residents to help build on their inter-generational activity.
One of our residents Marion, loved meeting the children, she used to be a teacher so seeing them bought back lots of lovely memories for her.
We look forward to welcoming them to the home again soon!
