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
Singalong Turned Dance Along
Although our residents at Flowerdown Care Home were encouraged minimal physical activities to beat the heat, this singalong morning turned to a choreographed dance routine! Our residents are encouraged to have as much fun to improve their moods and well-being. Look at our staff members Renuka and Arati showcasing their talents. They don't just provide care to our lovely residents, but entertainment, too!! Now that's what we call multi-faceted!
Beat the Heat
Residents at Flowerdown Care Home are enjoying refreshing drinks curated to help beat the heat during the predicted adverse weather condition. Today we're having the classic Pimm's Cup concocted in front of our residents to make it interactive and fun! For everyone wondering what's in the drink, the ingredients are: Pimm's No.1, lemonade, mint, strawberries and cucumber.
National Ice Cream Day
Perfectly timed in the middle of a heatwave, staff and residents at Flowerdown Care Home had a fantastic time celebrating National Ice Cream Day on July 17, a brilliant excuse to sample lots of cooling treats. It wasn’t just the residents that were excited when we found out there was a National Ice Cream Day, the eyes of the staff lit up too! Who doesn’t love ice cream? We have all had a great time trying out new flavours and toppings, it was a wonderful way to keep cool in the heat. Our varied life enrichment programme keeps residents active, and provides a daily choice of engaging physical, mental and spiritual activities tailored to residents’ interests and abilities.
High Tea
One of the great things to look forward here at Flowerdown Care Home is the treats and bubblies for our high tea. Some days are just made special by Clifford and the kitchen team, facilitated by Kate, our activities coordinator to ensure our residents enjoy tea in high fashion.
Jubilee Celebrations
Flowerdown Care Home's beautiful residents with their loved ones, care and support staff have all celebrated Queen Elizabeth's platinum jubilee with a bang! Our residents had a great sing-a-long moment with Brian who brought his piano and played tunes like there's no tomorrow! The morning was kick started with such energy and hype, everyone was buzzing. What can be more English than afternoon tea? The residents and our visitors were satiated with home-made cakes and pastries from our Flowerdown kitchen. Cliff did go all out, and the Pimm's and Prosecco were just the extra touch we wanted! To top off the excitement, we had Jelvis perform for us- Winchester's very own Elvis Presley impersonator.
Enjoying the Sunshine
We have also had residents enjoying sitting in our garden particularly in the shade in all the hot weather we have been having.
