Activities at Southerndown Care Home
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.

I have worked at Southerndown since 2013. I enjoy providing many various activities for our residents, such as gardening groups, trips out in the mini bus, quiz days and art therapy, amongst the many things we enjoy to do.
I look forward to meeting you all.

Life at Southerndown Care Home
Yoga
Southerndown have been holding weekly Yoga sessions with our very own carer Martin – who also happens to be a qualified Yoga instructor. The yoga sessions have been such a hit with staff and residents alike. We really are looking forward to every Wednesday.
Jubilee Celebrations
Jubilee celebrations fit for a queen. We celebrated in style with singing and dancing, delicious food and plenty of pimms. What a lovely way to celebrate such a momentous occasion.
Hadsham Farm
We were invited to Hadsham Farm to see the little baby lambs. It was so nice to spend time feeding the newborn lambs and holding the little chicks. It really was such a special day and bought back so many happy memories for our residents.
Choir
We are so pleased to be reading about our very own Southerndown Choir in the local news. We were recently approached and asked if we would mind being featured in April’s edition of Chipping Norton News as our choir practices every week. Residents were really pleased to read about themselves in their local news and it has been the talk of the home since.
Easter
Happy Easter from all of us at Southerndown. We have been busy with Easter arts and crafts and outdoor Easter egg hunts making the most of the glorious weather. We have had such a lovely weekend and are looking forward to tucking into our Easter eggs.
Garden Party
Our amazing carers arranged a beautiful tea party in the lovely spring weather we have been enjoying just lately. Julie and Sasha pulled out all the stops for a fun filled afternoon. We really like to make the most of the weather, and we could get used to the alfresco dining.
