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

Lead Activities Coordinator

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!

So close to the sea!

We are just a short walk from the seafront and residents will soon be enjoying trips to see the sea, the colourful beach huts and the charming narrow gauge light railway

We are having a makeover!

We’re refreshing the design and decor to areas within our home, the residents lounge, dining room and receptions areas and we’re extremely excited about it!
Please bear with us over the next few weeks while we work on our stunning new look, we are still open for new residents to join us so give us a call 
We can’t wait to show you around!
