Activities at Tyspane 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.
Jacqui Conroy
Jacqui and her team devise and plan fun group activities and events for all our residents, including pamper days, gentle exercise classes and music therapies. Regular one to one sessions and smaller groups are tailored to residents specific needs and hobbies with gardening and crafts amongst the most popular.

Life at Tyspane Care Home
Christmas Pantomime
The staff at Tyspane recently put on a performance of 'Snow White and the Seven Carers'. The script was adapted by Shelley Kaleda, our Home Trainer, who not only wrote and directed the performance, but also provided the costumes, props and backdrop.
Shelley played the Good Fairy and was lit up like a Christmas tree. David Allen brought the house down with his portrayal of the Wicked Queen. Staff from all departments took part and the residents booed and hissed in all the right places.
Physio at Tyspane
The physio team at Tyspane are able to offer a comprehensive physiotherapy package to permanent residents, as well as respite and day care residents. Physiotherapist, Rob Hopkins, assesses all new residents to set up a programme tailored to individual needs.
Physiotherapy at Tyspane includes a very popular weekly flex-exercise class, run by our Physiotherapy Assistant and Fitness Instructor, Babs Spear, whose motto is, “use it or lose it!"
Remembrance Parade
St Brannock's Church in Braunton hosted a Remembrance Day parade and church service to mark the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War.

Macmillan Coffee Morning
We hosted a coffee morning in recognitions of Macmillan Cancer Support's World's Biggest Coffee Morning on 28th September. It was lovely to be a part of such a successful campaign and so rewarding to be able to help out.
Residents baked cakes for the occasion, which went down a treat and we were also joined by the children from Beach Buddies Nursery, who came with money to buy our goodies.
