Activities at Cadbury Hall 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. 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.
Hannah Lewis
Hi, my name is Hannah and I am the Activities Coordinator at Cadbury Hall.
I studied ‘Creative Expressive Arts, Health and Wellbeing’ at university and am passionate about using the arts to aid people’s social, physical, and mental wellbeing. In my spare time I love to dance, sing, and act, and help to run a local drama group for children aged 10-18.
With the support of all staff at Cadbury Hall and feedback from residents, we aim for a varied and person-centred activity schedule to help the residents lead rich and fulfilling lives. The best part of my day is seeing the residents get stuck in with the activities and looking at the smiles on their faces.
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 Cadbury Hall Care Home
PCSO visit
We like to keep in touch with the local community here at Cadbury and were delighted with a visit from the local PSCO’s. They came into the home to give a talk to the residents about internet safety and to tell them all about the recent scams that have been occurring. They were wonderful at reassuring everyone and gave out alarms and jingle bells for residents handbags and purses. They enjoyed chatting with the residents and sampling the brownies from the kitchen. We will welcome them back soon.
Knit and natter
Every Friday we have knit and natter in the home, we like the local community to come in and spend time with our residents getting to know them and the staff . Felicia is one of our carers and always supports residents with their hobbies and helps teach them new skills, we are going to introduce a crochet teaching class with Felicia as a few of our ladies want to learn how to crochet. Hopefully in the not too distant future we can show everyone what we have learnt.
Out and about
We love having our own mini bus on site, it means we can go whenever we want to and when the weathers been this good this week, we are out out. We went to Cheddar Gorge for the morning, we enjoyed seeing the waterfalls, cliffs and even the goats. We stopped at the café for some light refreshments before driving through the Gorge to see Jacobs ladder and the caves.
Making memories with friends
At Cadbury we really like to nurture friendships made within the home. These 2 lovely gentleman met whilst staying with us on respite last year, they immediately hit it off and have been firm friends ever since, they even visit each other when they aren’t staying with us. They both have a keen interest in aviation so we thought it would be a nice little treat to surprise them with a trip to the helicopter museum. Both were completely unaware that everything had been organised and were so pleased to be able to spend the morning with each other doing something they both enjoyed. Here at Cadbury we aim to make your stay as special as we can and even include you when you aren’t staying with us.
Girls on tour
This month the garden centre has been the most requested place to visit, this week we had so many requests we went twice! The ladies went 1st and had a blast. Mollie’s daughter met us there which was lovely, we love when family can join us. We loved looking at the cakes in the farm shop area and the beautiful cards and books. Everyone had a lovely time and we came home with a few goodies. Margaret said that she really enjoyed herself and can’t wait for the next trip.
Blossoming friendships
Here at Cadbury we are all for establishing friendships between our residents. We have introduced Margaret to Anne and they have been inseparable ever since. Both women are widowed and are local so have lots in common, they’ve really hit it off. They both enjoy gardening so have come out to the local garden centre with us, choosing plants for the patio pots and helping to plant them when we got home. Anne has said that to find a friend whilst she’s here has really helped her feel at home and more settled.
