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
Vase & Flower Creations
Lynn & Kerry collected bunches of various flowers from the local florists so that residents were able to create their own bouquets. In our most recent flower arranging session, residents also decorated some old jars to be used as vases. The finished vases and flowers were then placed on the dining room tables to be admired by all residents, relatives, staff and visitors.
Birthday Celebrations
January has been a busy month, with lots of residents celebrating their birthdays, including Catherine, who recently enjoyed her 96th here at Wimborne. Catherine isn’t a huge fan of cake, so she requested to have a traditional banana split instead. Catherine spent the afternoon with her family and staff opening her presents and enjoying her delicious banana split.
Chocolate Cake Day
Everybody at Wimborne has been looking forward to joining in with the celebrations on National Chocolate Cake Day. In the afternoon, residents enjoyed a traditional afternoon tea with a variety of different chocolate cakes and other chocolate treats, whilst discussing their favorite chocolate sweets from their childhood.
107th Birthday Celebrations
Celebrations have been in full swing at Wimborne as Muriel commemorated her 107th birthday in style. She was joined by staff, relatives & friends for cake and champagne as she received her 7th telegram from the Queen in recognition of her landmark birthday.
Christmas and the Naughty Elf
On the morning of the 1st December, there were Christmas carols & songs playing throughout the home as staff and residents decorated it ready for Christmas. The home was full of joy and laughter, as residents reminisced about their favourite Christmas memories. Watch out for the ’Naughty Elf’ – he's been getting into all kinds of mischief and trouble.
Morning Newspapers
Every morning after breakfast and over a relaxing cup of coffee, residents get together with their daily newspapers to discuss the week’s news and current headlines.
