Activities at Springvale Court Care Home

Our activities team are great at building the activities programme around the likes and interests of the people we care for. Ensuring that our social events offer fun and adventure is part of the ethos of our home; it’s important that those we support can enjoy an active and social lifestyle. Of course, there will always be those who prefer peace and quiet, and in these instances, a cup of tea and a chat are always welcomed.

Jess Bruford

Activities Coordinator

Hi, My name is Jess and I am Activities Coordinator here at Springvale Court. I am delighted to join the team, joining in December 2023 but I have found my feet with ease. I spend time getting to know all of our residents and this helps me to arrange meaningful activities based on individual likes and interests. I love spending time with our residents, be it chatting one to one, small reminiscing groups or large group activities.

I am looking forward to learning and growing with Barchester and I am always open to any ideas for new and different activities so please stop and chat with me.

Rainbows for our nurses

Our residents have been colouring away on memory lane.

We coloured in the rainbows as they are recognised for their links to NHS and our nurses. Whilst we sat and coloured we talked about how the nurses have helped us in life.

One resident talked about their fathers experience as a mental health nurse and another talking about how they are always smiling when they come to Springvale.

This was a great time to reflect on how the nurses have impacted our lives.

King of Springvale

We have crowned our king of Springvale Court!

Congratulations to Ray who was chuffed to receive his crown and certificate as well as a tin of coronation shortbread fit for a king. He made his first royal appearance at our afternoon tea.

Thank you to everyone who has voted

Coronation afternoon tea

This afternoon we held our coronation afternoon tea, it went down a treat.

We had lots of yummy treats available for all residents, for those who couldn’t make it down we served some treats on a themed tray. We also had a bit of tipple which, as always keeps everyone happy.

We had a brilliant time we hope you enjoy the rest of the coronation weekend

Discovery Zoo

Last week we had a visit from Paul who brought along some furry and some exotic animals for our residents to look at and even hold!

Our residents thoroughly enjoyed this activity and have asked when he will be back in. one resident told us that they loved it that much they wish he could come every day. The animals he brought in included a Geko, Tortoise, snake and Guinea pigs.

A visit from Fell Dyke School

We had a great visit from some pupils from Fell Dyke primary school. First we started by writing out postcards to send to the King which were fab.

We then coloured in some of King Charles crowns followed by a discussion of what we would do if we were King or Queen for a day. The best suggestion was help the homeless.

Afternoon tea with Beacon Lough Baptist Church

Our lovely residents went along to Beacon Lough Baptist Church for their coronation afternoon tea. We took part in prayer, singing and a good old natter.

Thank you for having us, we hope to see you soon.
