Activites 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.

Lorraine Mounter

Activity Coordinator

Hello. My name is Lorraine and I love working with the residents at Cedars.  I started as a carer and then joined the activities team.  I love crafting and so this job is ideal as I can look after the residents, whilst we have fun, laughter and create new things together. I find it very rewarding to see the residents happy, smiling and enjoying their day.

In my spare time I enjoy reading, gardening and crafting.  I also have a horse and I look after my granddaughter.

Celebrating life at The Cedars Care Home

Boat trip

Our residents were delighted to get out on the Solent on Sunday morning in the sunshine.  The clouds had parted, and the wonderful charity run boat, the Alison MacGregor, set sail!  The residents at the Cedars had a fantastic time taking in the sights of Southampton’s busy shipping lanes and then into the calm waters with beautiful swans, black and white, along the river and up to the mill at BItterne. 

One resident wanted to be the skipper and, with the help of the staff on board, she was able to steer the boat calmly back to the boat’s home in Hythe Marina.

Romsey memorial park

This week some of our residents took a trip in the mini-bus to the memorial park in Romsey. 

They had a fabulous time watching the ducks in the river and strolling round the park, followed by a cup of tea and slice of cake at the café.

Outing to Houghton Lodge

Last week, some of our ladies took a trip to Houghton Lodge near Stockbridge. They thoroughly enjoyed a lovely scenic walk, seeing the beautiful gardens and their fabulous displays of flowers along with views of the river Test.

They had lunch in the café, The Glass House, before continuing on and exploring the gardens. Another wonderful trip out on the minibus!

Pedall Event

Pedall Event

We may not be the Tour de France or the Tour de Barchester, but the residents had a fantastic time on Saturday with the Pedall cycle team. 

The residents could all join in whether they are able-bodied, have reduced mobility or require the assistance of a wheelchair.  The residents could be on a special cycle in wheelchairs or a single seat, feeling the wind in their hair and looking at the beautiful grounds of their home from another angle. We enjoyed cycling fast around the grounds, lap after lap, like it was a Silverstone Grand Prix. Eat your heart out Sir Bradley Wiggins or Sir Chris Hoy.

We may not have clocked up as many miles as the tour de Barchester, but the residents loved being outdoors and taking part in sport which reminded them of fond memories from their youth.

Puppy Love

We had the greatest pleasure of a visit from 7 and 8-week-old Cocker Spaniel puppies on Monday. 

The residents had a wonderful time holding the puppies and watching them run around in the garden! Thank you to Lisa, our administrator, for bringing the pups in and Poppy for taking the gorgeous photos.

Salisbury Cathedral Flower Festival

Last week, two groups of our residents went on a trip to Salisbury Cathedral to see their flower festival, The Spirit of Water.

The sun was shining, and the flowers were arranged in beautiful display. It was absolutely stunning!

Music with Dave Dawson

Music is always popular at Cedars, be it having our own sing a long or welcoming our favourite singers into the home. 

This afternoon the wonderful Dave Dawson came to entertain us! In between singing and dancing, we also had a duet from Dave and one of our residents Alan! Thank you for a wonderful performance.

VE Day Celebrations at Cedars Salisbury

Our residents and staff celebrated VE Day with an afternoon tea party. The residents had a wonderful time singing and dancing with Eve N Song, followed by a delicious afternoon tea made by the chef.  

Landford Dementia Music Club also visited to join in the fun and everyone sang along to “We’ll meet again”, “The White Cliffs of Dover” and many more wartime favourites. Resident, Sylvia Thomas, remarked on what a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon she had had. 

Head Chef, Glyn Colderwood, gave a talk about his life in the military to add a flavour of what the troops experienced.
