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
Music for Health
Once a month, Sue from Music for Health visits Wimborne for an afternoon of music, light instruments, dancing and also a musical quiz. Residents really look forward to this visit and the quiz always keeps them on their toes.
Easter & Good Friday
Residents, relatives and staff got into the Easter spirit and celebrated Good Friday in style with an afternoon tea party, Easter egg hunt, and a seasonal raffle, with all proceeds going towards the residents' fund. Staff and residents also took part in an Easter cake competition. Residents particularly enjoyed making and decorating the Easter chocolate crispies.
Kitchen Creations
Once a week, residents get together in the kitchen to discuss, cook or bake whichever sweet or savory snack they fancy. Most recently, residents decided they would like to make individual fruit cakes. They were a massive success and everyone thoroughly enjoyed them in the afternoon.
Weekly Walk
TIme for a Cuppa
Here at Wimborne, we supported Time for a Cuppa, a fundraising event for Dementia UK. We held an afternoon tea party open to all families, residents and the local community, with a selection of teas, coffee and delicious, homemade cakes. All proceeds will go straight to Dementia UK.
Birthday Fun
March was a very busy month with lots of residents celebrating their birthdays, including Marjorie, who turned 94. and both Joan & Betty, who celebrated their 92nd. All residents who had a birthday in March spent the day opening presents and eating lots of cake with their families, friends and other residents.
