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
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.
Festive Decorating
We've been getting into the Christmas spirit here at the Cedars, making table decorations for Christmas Day!
Everyone had great fun making them and enjoyed a well-deserved slice of cake and a cuppa after
A trip down memory lane
Another great session from Sandra, Charmworth miniatures. This time the theme was 1960's. Our residents loved seeing the styles of the dresses from the 1960's and hearing about the designs and fabrics that were popular at the time and the craftmanship that was used to create the dresses.
It was a lovely afternoon with lots of chat and memories, reminiscing past outfits together!
