Activities at Snowdrop Place 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.
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.

Emerald Wedding Anniversary Celebrations
Celebrating a special 55th Emerald Wedding Anniversary
Mike and Hilary shared celebrations of their special anniversary with us here at Snowdrop Place. Amongst their family and friends joining us, the DJ and a champagne afternoon tea a wonderful afternoon was enjoyed by all.
It is an absolute privilege to be part of special occasions with our residents, including the couple, and we look forward to sharing future anniversaries and celebrations here in our home too.
Lobster with a glass of Rose. A wish come true!
One of our residents, Joan, here at Snowdrop Place had always holidayed in Jersey with her husband and with her family. They married and had children, with son Andrew finally residing on the Island with his wife. While on their holidays it became a family tradition to always have a Lobster meal, be it by the sea or in a fancy restaurant, always followed with an ice cream.
Our activities coordinator Gemma, first found out about Joan's wish when she came across a photo on Facebook of Joan & her son enjoying Lobster & a glass of Rose with a note that read “Mum would love to do this again – Lobster & Rose on the beach in Jersey”.
Joan and her family were delighted at the wonderful surprise! There were tears of joy from everyone. What a special day, we were so glad to be part of this with Joan.

A day at the Cricket!
What better way to spend a Wednesday than a day at the cricket? We want to say a huge Thank you to Utilita Bowl for the hospitality, it was amazing and the residents thoroughly enjoyed it.
We watched Hampshire v Derbyshire and it was an exciting day. We cant wait to take the residents back.

Another fabulous visit from Linnies Fashions.
The residents love when Linda sets up shop for the afternoon. It's a great opportunity to browse the racks & treat themselves to something new.
