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
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.
Christmas at Cedars
At Cedars, we've had a wonderful fun filled Christmas. Here are our memories of a very special time of the year. We’ve had reindeer visits from N & J Heavy Horses, entertainment with Cosmic Sparkle, a Christmas party at Landford Music Club, Ball games and movement on memory lane with Tom from District Sports and gifts from Father Christmas and his elf.
New Year Car Rally
We were thrilled to be the host of the annual classic car rally.
The group joined us for bacon sandwiches before setting off on their route but not before doing a few laps of the driveway to show our residents their cars.
There was a lot of excitement in the air and the residents were reminiscing some of their past cars.
Jeremy, one of the Test Valley Motor Enthusiasts members sent an email to express his thanks.
"On behalf of TVME but I would like to add my thanks for all the efforts of the team yesterday. I thought everything went really well - apart from the weather over which neither of us have any control – but I still came along with the roof down! There seemed to be some good mixing between residents and the club members, plus a number of residents and families braving the elements and looking around the cars.
The food and drink were excellent and plentiful so please pass on my thanks to the team who were busy making sure there was plenty available."
Festive Fun at Christmas Ball
Last week at Cedars we held our Christmas ball!
The residents and their loved ones all joined us and we had a fabulous evening of singing, dancing and enjoying each other’s company.
We had a delicious buffet supplied by our very own chefs and music from the wonderful Bee Chumley Vocalist and the lovely pianist Phil.
Sweet Melodies
Our residents are very fortunate to regularly attend the Landford singing club. There’s nothing like a sing along to bring all the memories flooding back! Some of our residents went along this month to celebrate Christmas at the annual Christmas party. Everyone has a fabulous time, singing their favourite songs and enjoying the delicious party food.
