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!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick’s Day from all of us here at Wimborne! We started our day off with morning Karaoke and had a blast! Followed by a traditional Irish stew for lunch, we then tested our knowledge on all things Irish with our St Paddy’s Day Quiz! Overall a fantastic day!

Enjoying the Sunshine with furry friends

We took advantage of the first lovely sunshine of the year and ventured into our lovely garden to soak up the sun! And our wonderful furry friend Rufus decided to join us too, giving our residents the chance to walk him around the garden for some fresh air and exercise! Our residents can’t wait for even sunnier days!

Love is in the air at Wimborne

We celebrated Valentine’s Day the only way we know how, with an afternoon of belting out our favourite love songs and indulging in some wonderful chocolate heart cookie decorating (although we much preferred the eating part). Wimborne had a lovely day celebrating Love!
