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.
Lorraine Mounter
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.
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
Green Fingers on a Sunny Day
Teamwork makes the dream work in our beautiful gardens.
Marian, our resident watering enthusiast, enjoyed planting petunias, lobelia, fushias and hydrangea. She said "how lovely to be out here in the sunshine with such a bright blue sky".
Brian, one of invaluable maintenance team, was joined by a number of enthusiastic residents, they all chattered about gardens they had enjoyed in the past and named every one of the plants.
A great opportunity to exercise those green thumbs and to chat with friends. Some were getting their hands dirty, others enjoyed observing whilst enjoying tea and biscuits. Fresh Air always lifts the spirits.
