Activities at Cubbington Mill Care Home
Every day we run different activities throughout our home. The activities are designed and adapted to each individuals personal needs. The activities are designed to mentally and physically stimulate the people we care for and also to enhance their life skills and feelings of purpose and self-worth. The activities encourage interaction on a one to one basis, in small groups, in large groups and some are designed for the whole home including staff to be involved in.
We are registered with the National Activity Providers Association (NAPA) which ensures we are able to achieve and continually progress to enhance the quality of life for those we support in the home. We provide entertainers such as singers, musicians, magicians, puppeteers, poets and dancers. We also have regular exercise classes and arts and craft classes. Relatives and visitors will be able to see what me make in these classes on display around the home. We have regular trips out on the mini bus to visit garden centres, enjoy high tea, visit the butterfly farm and spend the day at the zoo with a picnic. We encourage the local community, schools, colleges and relatives to come and join us for activities, tea and cake and to visit to share their skills as much as possible.
Staff from across the home are always willing to help and share their knowledge and skills across a whole range of activities we have had everything from carers preforming Bollywood style dancing to cooking classes from the chef. We feel activities are a vital part of the residents lives to ensure they are stimulated mentally and entertained.

Life at Cubbington Mill Care Home
Celebrating Cupcake Day
Cupcake day…. Is there any better delicious day where it’s okay to have cake for breakfast lunch and tea?! Well done to our head chef Ollie for his creations!
Whether it be frosted, drizzled, zested or plain all kinds are enjoyed by the residents at Cubbington Mill Care Home. We ended the day with our monthly residents meeting where everyone had the opportunity to bring along friends and family for a really productive meeting. Plus some ice lollies for all the staff who worked in the heat today! What a great team and place to be.
National Beer Day
On our trip to The Red Lion Hunningham @HunninghamLion Everyone decided wine was best! (absolutely typical) all bar Andrew who fancied a bitter!
We'd all like to send a massive shout out to Richy for being so accommodating and an amazing host throughout our visit.
Andrew, Bruce, Pete and John all had a fantastic time celebrating National Beer Day at the Red Lion, and really enjoyed their time there with great company and good weather what could be better?

Today our lovely residents had the pleasure of meeting 1 of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra…We shook our maracas, had a boogie and tapped the tambourines while notes were played from the violin.
