Activities at The Spires Care Home
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.
Angie Smith
Hi, my name is Angie and I am an activities coordinator here at The Spires. We all know that keeping active is important. We have created a wonderful culture within the home and we work together to give residents the best possible experience. We are here to ensure that residents enjoy an environment that is both stimulating and socially active.
We ensure the team knows each residents' preferences, so that we can deliver a person-centered program of events and activities. Essential to our homely feel is the strong relationships of trust we build with residents and their families and friends.

Love is in ther air
The Spires care home 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, receiving flowers from our PAT dog Zorba and enjoying homemade cakes and treats. Our couples also enjoyed a romantic fine dining experience prepared by our chefs.
Pancake Fun
Students from the Friary School Health and Social care joined us for our Shrove Tuesday activities. They had a pancake decorating competition along with pancake flipping and a memory game.
It was an amazing time for our residents with fun, laughter and a insight to student life nowadays. For the students, it gave them a insight of a day to day activities in a care home and the meaning of person-centred needs.
Royal Parks London
Across our services our residents have enjoyed a wonderful live virtual talk about starlings, one of the UK’s most gregarious birds, hosted by Rachel Dowse from The Royal Parks London.
Rachel examined our long history with this bird and the importance of common species to our lives. Our residents had the opportunity to find out more about the great murmuration and why we need to pay special attention to these beauties before it's too late.
The virtual experience was truly enjoyed by all.
Quiz fun
Today at The Spires some of our lady’s have kick started there new year with seated dance exercise with Nicci from Fusion Dance. Our Gentleman have been busy playing Rummy and Dominoes. Others chosen to watch wildlife documentaries, colour and do puzzles.
Trip to the garden centre
