Activities at Wimborne Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
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!
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Wimborne Care Home
Proud Sunflower Winner!
Here at Wimborne, we set our team and residents a competition of growing the largest and tallest Sunflower.
We knew that with a little sunshine, a speckle of rain and some good luck, we would grow some amazing sunflowers and there was a very clear winner.
Our wonderful resident Joy came in first place with her Sunflower that stood the tallest over every other!
Congrats to Joy and well done to all of our residents and team at Wimborne for helping plant some beautiful sunflowers.
Sunflower Island
This week some of our residents took a trip to Sam's Sunflowers on the island.
People come from far and wide to visit this famous area where there are beautiful sunflowers and wild flowers to admire.
Our residents got to pick the best sunflowers of the season to bring back to our home, how wonderful!
Olympics at Wimborne
What an Olympics we have had!
Our residents at Wimborne donned their Berets and tucked in to some wonderful french food made by our wonderful chefs.
It's been a joyous two weeks watching the competitors take to their expert areas and go for Gold.
All of our residents have enjoyed watching and cheering GB on!
Beach Portraits
Our residents creative minds were exercised this week where they were tasked with bringing their interpretation of the beach to life.
We got to use different shades and colours and explore what the beach means to our residents and what each of those individual colours means to them.
We think our residents are undiscovered Picassos' with many talents but using their imaginations to create such colours and masterpieces... next stop, Tate Modern!
Tenpin Bowling - Wimborne wins!
Here at Wimborne, we like to keep our residents as active as possible and there is no better way to bring out their competitive nature then with a game of Tenpin Bowling.
Everyone who joined in the fun, started to enjoy watching the scoreboard points increase, especially with the score of half strikes.
If this was an Olympic sport, our residents at Wimborne would be in line for a GOLD!
Ice cream Sundae competition!
Barchester partnered up with the yummy Millac brand to organise an Ice cream sundae competition and the winner receives a visit from an ice cream truck for all our residents so of course we had to participate as who doesn’t love ice cream! We started out the day in the sunshine designing our perfect ice cream sundae and even came up with creative names for our scrumptious sweet treats. Our favourite from our resident dune was “Double Trouble” raspberry and vanilla topped with whipped cream, she said this name also relates to her as she was always called trouble! We then enjoyed an afternoon of sundae creations topped with Millac cream. We hope to bring home the win for Wimborne.
