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
Ice cream sundae
Who doesn’t love an ice cream? We had an afternoon in the sunshine and in our lounge with homemade ice cream sundaes. Everyone designed their own with different sauces, toppings and of course whipped cream to top it off.
Seaside Trip
As per a residents request we headed out to the pub on the seaside. The ship in was a favourite for many years and it hasn’t lost its touch on a beautiful sunny day we loved a refreshing drink looking at the ocean.
Children of Muddy Boots visit
We had a great day with a visit from the children of Muddy boots. They shared their home-made sensory play dough and sang along to nursery rhymes with our residents. The home was full of life with these young children running around and we all made new friends.
Reptile Visit
The residents enjoyed a visit from some scaly friends and learning all about these amazing snakes and all their weird and wonderful behaviours. Many residents were brave enough to hold these amazing creatures.
Trip to the seaside!
We are so lucky to have the beach right on our doorstep and today we enjoyed getting the residents out to enjoy a stroll along the beach looking at the ocean waves and of course we can’t go to the seaside without an ice cream.
Pamper Day
Everyone here at Wimborne enjoyed a day of pure pampering as they enjoyed getting their nails done, face masks and hand massages following a refreshing taste of cucumber water and fresh fruit kebabs.
