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
Potato Printing Artworks
In line with ‘veganuary’ all things vegetable have inspired our residents. Today’s arts & crafts session was full of potatoes! Even our lovely General Manager Ela got involved, and carer John couldn’t resist a little nostalgic potato printing. We think the end result is amazing, good enough for framing.
Helping Hands
One of our wonderful lady residents just loves helping out our housekeeping team. In gratitude for all her efforts, Victoria from the activities team gave her a mini makeover. Who doesn't love being pampered?
Friendly Goats
Now those naughty goats get just about everywhere! Trying to eat our resident’s flowers through the window [nice try] and saying hello to a visiting ambulance driver... they really are a friendly bunch!
Skittles Tournament
Southerndown Skittles Tournament - our residents had such fun during their monthly skittles game, it brought back so many memories. Beautiful Brenda played a real blinder scoring two strikes!
Music & Movement
Music and Movement' across the communities, always gets the blood pumping, smiles flowing and arms waving - well done ladies!
Perfect Planet
This morning many of our residents enjoyed watching David Attenborough "Perfect Planet" whilst the rain fell outside, we were all mesmerised by the wonder of nature from around the world.
