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.

With previous experience working in a care home as an activities coordinator, I have developed a strong passion for enhancing the daily lives of residents through engaging and meaningful activities.
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
Life at Silverbirch House Care Home
DOUBLE CELEBRATION at Silverbirch House yesterday!
Our fabulous resident Nick celebrated his birthday in style with his community of friends and a birthday cake baked and decorated by our Chef Daniel. We kept the festive cheer rolling with a Barchester Live Event - A Christmas sing-a-long that had everyone smiling, clapping, and tapping their toes! The harmony of our residents echoed through the hallways of Silverbirch House with numbers such as “Winter Wonderland” and “Let It Snow,” and a whole lot of Christmas spirit. With mince pies, good company, and plenty of festive cheer, it was a day to remember!
Festive Spirit at Silverbirch House!
We were delighted to welcome medical students from the University of Guildford for an early Christmas celebration! They brought hampers filled with goodies for our residents, made possible by generous donations from students and staff. Our residents were surprised and delighted with their gifts, with smiles on faces all round! This act of generosity and giving also helped the students appreciate the importance of building community connections alongside their academic journey. The students, from the Medical Sciences Department, are currently exploring various disciplines before choosing their specialisations. We’re so grateful for their kindness and the festive cheer they brought to Silverbirch House
The Silverbirch House Christmas Tree Lighting!

Silverbirch residents had a fantastic time taking part in Barchester’s Live Virtual Event, 'Bingo Bonanza!'
This Live Virtual event allows everyone to compete from the comfort of their own Barchester home, going up against other Barchester care homes and hospitals nationwide.
