Activities at Southerndown 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.
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.
Stacey Davies
I have worked at Southerndown since 2013. I enjoy providing various activities for our residents with the team, such as gardening groups, trips out in the mini bus around the Cotswolds, quiz days and entertainment performances. Amongst the many things we enjoy doing, part of my role within the home is to ensure all residents are provided the purpose in life to fulfil day to day stimulation, whether that be together, or creating individual activity to those that prefer.
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 Southerndown Care Home
Musical afternoon with Kiddley Divey
We had such a wonderful afternoons entertainment of dancing and singing away with Kiddley Divey.
We danced and sang to some of our favourite music and enjoyed every moment.
Charity Car Wash
Southerndown held a charity car wash in aid of the fantastic RSPCA Oak and furrows.
I was a great turn out and we certainly had the weather for it and we raised a grand total of £149.18p for such a wonderful charity.
A fantastic visit from Bellcanto
Southerndown had the pleasure to be visited from the amazingly talented Bellcanto hand bell ringers and it was just extraordinary.
It was such a delight to listen to and to sing along with. We also had some lessons in hand bell ringing which was such good fun, we are looking forward to Bellcantos next visit already.
Southerndown's Baking Club
Southerndowns baking club with Sasha is fast becoming our highlight of the week we love meeting on a Monday and baking bread or baking cakes.
We also really enjoy the taste testing, and deciding what to bake for the next week.
