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.
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.

Life at Southerndown Care Home
Our Beauty Salon Is Open
Happy hairdos day! Who doesn't love a little pampering, our ladies and gentleman are certainly enjoying a regular visit to see Emma in our beauty room.
Fabulous Fruits
For our ‘daily living’ activity this week we decided on fabulous fruit tasting and it went down a storm. One resident commented; “It’s the simple things that usually taste the best”.
Sensory Arts & Crafts
The residents of Blenheim Gardens love getting creative. From making pictures with foam shapes to manipulating sensory dough. Natasha spent time with each member of the group helping them to create their personal artworks.
Local Village Day Trip and Ices
With the sun shining and ice cream calling! We took the residents of Southerndown out for a mini bus trip around the beautiful local villages and towns. We travelled to Moreton-In-Marsh and then stopped off at Stow on the Wold and watched the world go by. We found an old fashioned ice cream seller and all enjoyed some delicious ice cream. It was so wonderful to get out and about we can’t wait to plan our next trip.
The Southerndown Salons are Open!
We are absolutely delighted to have our two hairdressing salons open again for our residents. We have a new hairdresser called Emma, and she has been very busy in our salons pampering our residents.
Our ladies and gents have been enjoying every minute, its so lovely to have the salons open again.
Enjoying our Sensory Garden
We are making to most of the good weather and spending time in our relaxing sensory garden. One of our residents decided they would help with the watering, and we were enjoying the weather so much we decided to have our morning tea in the garden.
