Residents and staff here at Southerndown are cheering on the England team by taking part in #WaistcoatWednesday, in recognition of Gareth Southgate's fantastic fashion sense.
Meet our Activities Coordinator, Stacey Davies
Stacey has been with Southerndown since 2013.
There is always something happening here and its never dull. We have our own choir and often invite the schools singing clubs and professional choir groups to join us. Peter and Winston are our pet Rabbits and provide many adventures for us, particularly when they escape. We have gardening groups, trips out in the mini bus, quiz days and art therapy amongst the many things we enjoy to do.
I get so much pleasure seeing the residents happy and staff joining in with them.
Activities at Southerndown
Our specialist activities staff are committed to organising a mix of activities and events for residents and the local community to get involved in, including trips out to local places of interest in our minibus and visits from entertainers and musicians. It is important to us that each individual who we support can get as much from these as possible, so we try our best to arrange activities that reflect their interests and capabilities as best as possible, and encourage them to participate in any way they can. We also encourage relatives to join with activities and events as often as they can.
Life at our home
Waistcoat Wednesday
Fun in the Sun
Residents have been making the most of our lovely weather recently by spending time in our beautiful courtyard.
Zoolab
Southerndown had a very interesting visit from Zoolab, who brought all sorts of spiders, snakes and giant snails for us to have a look at. Everyone was very interested in these wonderful creatures.
Colour Therapy
What a wonderful way to relax in the afternoon! Once our very own master pieces are completed, we will display them for all the world to see!
Flower Arranging
Residents and staff had so much fun flower arranging; we chose beautiful, pink flowers to brighten up our dining room tables.
Carers Week Celebrations
Staff and residents recently celebrated their fantastic care team for all of their hard work, compassion and dedication to residents in their care.
