Activities at Flowerdown Care Home
Our home is always full of life, and we can thank our wonderful Activities Coordinators for this. Dedication to creating a unique and interesting activities programme is what sets us apart from other homes. We always take into consideration that some people would prefer to pursue their own interests, which is why our team strive to incorporative activities that cater to a wide range of tastes and hobbies. Our trips out are always fun and exciting as well, and residents are guaranteed to return with stories to tell their loved ones!

Life at Flowerdown Care Home
Bowled Over at Flowerdown
Here at Flowerdown we take sport very seriously, so we decided to get our strike on and take part in a very competitive game of Bowling.
Spending time outside of work is important to recharge but doing so with a kind, caring and compassionate team, to unwind and also laugh with each other ensures that the residents at Flowerdown get the best version of each and every team member who contributes to their home.
Whilst it wasn't quite championship style bowling, there was only room for one team to win however, the whole team enjoyed the evening, so much so, there will be another bowling competition soon!
Flowerdown in the Community
Our General Manager at Flowerdown paid a visit to Joesph at the Acute Medical Unit at Southampton General this week.
It's incredibly important to keep relationships together and collaborate, especially in healthcare to ensure the best possible care is provided from hospital to home.
Flowerdown Care Home will continue to nurture those relationships and provide the best environment for all our residents!
A Different Perspective in Faith
Our residents at Flowerdown have a strong sense of faith and community.
Littleton parish are regular visitors to our home, bringing their own sense of style and service.
It's such a joyful experience and one that Reverend Kevin Rogers delights in doing so with such ease and enthusiasm - he also likes to bring a different perspective, with delivering his service and photos!
Royal Visit (of the vehicle kind)
Our residents took to the minibus and enjoyed a day out at the Royal Logistics Corp Museum.
It was a such a great informative trip, which showed how we moved around in the war and we delighted in learning about the motorbikes and old fashioned cars.
We even managed to get front seats in front of the horse display which was such a treat!
Flowerdown Fun at the Quays
AHOY MATEY!
This week our residents at Flowerdown hopped on the minibus and were taken to the historic dockyard at Portsmouth where they set off on a boat trip from Gunwharf Quays.
Our residents donned their life jackets, took their seats and enjoyed the beautiful boats that were passing by.
The sun was high in the sky, the waves were tumbling and there was a slight breeze to ease the hot summer sun.
It was such a treat so much so, some residents wanted to go again AND faster!
Enable Live!
Enable is now live at Flowerdown.
Enable is a new person centred digital support platform which is a very efficient and important part of everyday life at Flowerdown.
To celebrate this new digital era, we had an amazing cake which was a lovely treat for all of our staff here.
Our General Manager Claudia thanked all the staff for their time and dedication away from their usual duties to ensure a smooth transition over to the new digital platform.
