Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.

Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.

Celebrating life at The Spires Care Home

Rummikub Fever Has Arrived!

A huge thank you to Peter, who introduced us to the wonderful game of Rummikub – and it didn't take long before our residents were completely hooked!

For anyone who hasn't played before, Rummikub is a fun tile-based game where players race to be the first to use all of their numbered tiles by creating runs (like 1, 2, 3) or groups of the same number in different colours. It keeps the mind active, encourages strategic thinking, and, most importantly... sparks plenty of laughter!

When the Activity team learned there was going to be a Pantomime starring a resident's granddaughter and other members of her family, all part of the production team, they knew Delia had to attend. Staff arranged for Delia and her friends to attend the show and Delia's granddaughter shone as Alice in their production of Alice in Wonderland. A great afternoon was had by all!

Valentine's Day Celebrations!

The Spires care home, in Lichfield, was filled with flowers, cards and sweets in celebration of St Valentine’s Day.

Staff and residents celebrated the day of love by creating heart-shaped decorations to decorate the home, gifting each other home-made sweets, cakes and treats. Couples that live in the home also enjoyed a romantic meal which was cooked by the chef and served in the home's private dining room.

General Manager, Amy Doyle, said: “We’ve all had a lovely day decorating the home and making gifts for each other and for our loved ones. We’ve had a whole range of treats and Valentine’s themed fun, and we have enjoyed every moment of it!”

Gordon Poxon, a resident at the Spires said: “It has been a lovely day. My wife and I really enjoyed our special meal. We’ve been married for 71 years and to be able to celebrate with a romantic meal is wonderful.”
