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.

Life at Southerndown Care Home
Flower Arranging Workshop
Here at Southerndown we are very lucky to have some keen florists in our midst, and we like to hold a flower arranging workshop to create floral decorations to display around the home.
Our flowers for this workshop are the classic pink and white carnations, which were a great choice by the ladies, and the floral decorations looked fantastic throughout the home.
Musical afternoon with King and Rackham
We recently had a wonderful afternoon of musical entertainment from the very talented duo King & Rackham.
The afternoon was a big hit with some of our fond favourites such as Bach and Beethoven, with some newer classical pieces mixed in.
Finishing of the afternoon of with of course - Nessun Dorma.
Fall fighters at ‘Come for tea’
Southerndown had such an amazing reception for our fall fighters talk at ‘come for tea’ St Marys Parish rooms, Chipping Norton.
It was an absolute pleasure to present our Barchester Healthcare/RoSPA campaign to increase awareness of how to prevent the pain and distress caused by falls in our local community. The talk was informative and useful and it was great to meet so many new people in our local community.
Kiddley Divey
For our musical afternoon we had a visit from Yvette at Kiddley Divey. We spent the afternoon singing to our favourite songs such as que sera sera and dancing along with the music. We always enjoy these sessions as the music always brings back so many wonderful memories.
Baking Club
Southerndown held their weekly baking club, and it was a great success. With so many bakers amongst us sharing a love for baking and exchanging hint and tips. The baking club always brings back so many wonderful memories.
Christmas Lunch At Sturdy’s Castle
We were so excited for our outing to Sturdy’s Castle for Christmas Lunch and all the trimmings, the food was fantastic, the staff were amazing and we had the best time. What a great way to get into the festive spirit, Christmas crackers and party hats not to mention the Christmas jokes. We are already looking forward to our next visit.
