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
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.
New Year Winter Walks
No wintertime walk in our gardens is complete without wrapping up warm, and being prepared to feed the visiting goats! Our residents just love these 'cheeky chappies'.
Happy 95th birthday 'Eleanor'
Our staff and her friends at Southerndown wished 'Beautiful Eleanor Woolley' happy 95th Birthday last week. Chef baked her a wonderful black forest gateau inspired cake with cherry cream icing which is one of her favourites. Eleanor was very impressed Chef managed to spell her name correctly as apparently many, over the years have got it wrong. Big thank you to Keith for sharing this wonderful photo of Eleanor in 1943 aged 17. She's as beautiful now as she was then.
