Activities at The Cedars 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 the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience, and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.
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 The Cedars Care Home
Bird House Decorating
We love everything crafty here at Cedars, so our Activities Assistant, Carol, planned a morning of bird house decorating.
As you can see from the concentration on our residents’ faces, they took the task of decorating them very seriously! Amongst the concentration, there was a lot of laughter and chatter from our residents as they all enjoyed the activity.
Senior Games!
Yesterday we had another visit with Hayden from Wiltshire and Swindon Sport.
We are on week 6 of a 12-week programme. Wiltshire Council are running called Senior Games.
Our residents are absolutely loving Senior Games and look forward to visiting them each week for movement, music & fun!
Cedars Baking Club!
Last week it was national pizza day, so at the Cedars baking club our residents made pizza!
They each chose their own toppings and shared their pizzas with friends for supper that evening.
Everyone had a fantastic time!
Flower Arranging
Spring is nearly here, and we couldn’t be more excited about the brighter days ahead!
Our residents spent an enjoyable afternoon making table decorations. We think they look absolutely fabulous.
Senior Games
Giant Scrabble!
This week we had a very exciting delivery from the wonderful, Wellow Men’s Shed.
For the past year, they have been making us a custom built Scrabble board!
We are so grateful to each and every one of them, for all the time and effort they have put in to making it for our residents to enjoy for many years to come!
The Wellow Men's Shed is a fantastic social and workshop space for gents across the local area to come together and work on their crafts, hobbies, and DIY projects, among old and new friends.
