Activities at Awel-Y-Mor Care Home
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.
Jo & Julie
Awel-Y-Mor's activities team consists of three Activities Coordinators, each having a specialist unique role within the group, including work in the multi-sensory concept, as well as organising days out, trips to sporting events and pop concerts, and arranging themed days. Jo has been with us for over ten years, beginning her Barchester career as a Carer, and Julie joined us in 2018.

Life at Awel-Y-Mor Care Home
Macmillan Coffee Morning
The Mayor and a local county councillor joined us for homemade cakes and to support a resident from the home, Sharon Cooper, who did 'Brave the Shave' for Macmillan Cancer Support, and has managed to raise over £300.
Rock Choir
We visited our sister home Hafan y Coed for their summer fete, where the local rock choir was asked to perform. We took some residents to see Sarah Davies, Awel y Mor's activities coordinator, who is a member of the choir. Everyone had fun and enjoyed the event.
Summer Fete
Despite the weather the summer fete went down a storm. Residents of Awel y Mor, their families and friends had a great time with lots going on throughout the day. Everyone enjoyed summer drinks and delicious treats.
Organ Recital
2 residents from Awel-Y-Mor attended an organ recital at our local church, and we had tea and cake with the organist and vicar afterward. It was a very pleasant evening!
On the 23rd July, we will be attending the next organ recital by the renowned concert organist, Huw Tregelles-Williams.
Seaside Outing
Residents and staff from Hafan-Y-Coed , Bryn Ivor Lodge and Llys-Y-Tywysog, 3 of our sister homes, enjoyed a day trip out to the seaside town or Porthcawl. Fun was had by all!
