Activities at Wimborne 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.
Zoe Freeman
I have been working in care since 2019 and love the industry. I came from working on cruise ships and running events and activities there which has set me up to be a successful activities coordinator in care. You will never see me without a smile on my face and always bring my fun and bubbly personality to my job. My favourite part of my job is making people cheerful and help make their wishes come true to show people that age is just a number and we can have fun no matter what!

Life at Wimborne Care Home
Grand National
We enjoyed a day all about the Grand National here at Wimborne Care Home. Everyone joined in our Wimborne National horse game with our worthy winner horse number 6 having a shaky start but taking home first place rosette by the final race! All staff and residents joined a sweep stake for the final race and lucky winner, Tim got the winning horse! Everyone felt like they were at the races themselves and it was a day full of energy, fun and games!
Cupcake Delivery
Being just under a week away from our first Memory Choir event, our General Manager, Sarah headed out to a local support group to give them some home made sweet treats and invite them to be part of our Memory Choir. On the 18th April we are starting our choir in partnership with The Memory Choir and can’t wait to see everyone here at 2pm to start our musical journey!
Tenpin Bowling
Here at Wimborne our residents love nothing more than getting out and about on our mini bus trips. This week we have been to Chichester to have a fantastic time tenpin bowling! Alongside our Activity Team and residents we were joined by 3 of our fantastic volunteers that support Wimborne Care Home. Everyone had a fantastic time.
Happy Easter
All staff and residents here at Wimborne loved celebrating Easter weekend with lots of themed events from Easter bingo to egg nest cupcakes but most importantly everyone loved their Easter eggs donated from the fabulous Ferryboat Inn, thank you so much for these sweet treats!
Bunny Trail
At Wimborne Care Home on Hayling Island we have been busy partnering up with local businesses to bring the community an Easter Bunny Hunt. The task involves local children finding hidden bunnies around Hayling Island shops, the bunnies are hid in the windows of the highstreet - can you find them?
Easter Donation
Here at Wimborne Care Home on Hayling Island we have been busy acting like the Easter bunny! We have collected and donated a range of Easter eggs to gift to Mengham Primary School for their Easter Raffle. We hope the eggs are thoroughly enjoyed and help raise funds towards the primary schools future sensory garden.
