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
Weekly Flower Arranging
Flower arranigning is one of our residents favourite activities. Last week they enjoyed getting the dining room displays ready for Friday's Fish & Chip supper with beautiful fresh roses to brighten each table. Thank you so much, they looked and smelt amazing.
Paperchain Christmas Tree
Two of our residents; Jean & Shirley have been actively souring 'Pinterest' for creative ideas. They found a wonderful paperchain 'Christmas Tree' idea and couldn't wait to get started.
They just loved making the chains and reminiscing to their childhoods when all their decorations were handmade. We all love the final effect and will definitely be doing it again next year. Thanks ladies it looks beautiful.
Caring Carer - Hair cuts & ups
This week Aida, one of our wonderful carers treated several of our residents; ladies and gentlemen to an in-house hairdressing / barber session. Who doesn't love being pampered!
Pop-up Christmas Pub!
Today the residents of Southerndown enjoyed a visit to our 'pop-up' XMAS pub, with Stacey and Carole as the land lady's. With a choice of nibbles, snowballs, wine and beer! It was Christmas cheer all round - with special thanks for donations from the Blue Boar pub, Chipping Norton #BlueBoarChippingNorton
Community Christmas Gifting
More Christmas cookie deliveries from Southerndown to those in the community who have 'been there' for our residents throughout 2020. We all wanted to say a big THANK YOU to Judith and friends from St Mary's Church in Chipping Norton #stmaryscnorton for their contunied support.
Happy 95th birthday ‘beautiful Joyce’
Our visitor suite became a very special place last week, used to host Joyce’s 95th birthday celebration with her son and daughter-in-law. Chef baked and decorated a gorgeous sponge cake, and they had a lovely catch up being able to see one another close up in the safety and warmth of our dedicated room.
