Activities at Hafan-Y-Coed Care Home
We understand that the people we support have passions and interests that could be difficult to pursue after moving into a care home – but that doesn’t mean we don’t encourage them to try! Some hobbies can define a person, so our Activities Coordinators are dedicated to ensuring that everyone we support is able to do what makes them happy to the best of their abilities. Social events are organised with individual tastes in mind and with the idea that residents have the opportunity to try new and exciting things.

Life at Hafan-Y-Coed Care Home
Mince Pie Baking
Residents loved making mince pies, the smells were mouthwatering and reminded us all of Christmas adn how much we love Christmas food! Everyone enjoyed them with their afternoon tea.
Elf Day Mischieve!
Hafan-Y-Coed had some pesky elves visit today! They were causing mischieve all around the home. What great sports the team are and all in aid of Alzeimer's Society for their annual Elf Day.
Christmas Light Switch on with Cor Meibion
What a magical night it was at our Christmas light switch on, it was lovely to see everyone. There was a fantastic performance by Cor Meibion choir, festive nibbles and drinks and of course the switch on of our lights which we can now all enjoy every evening.
Christmas Light Switch on Preparation
We are nearly ready for our Christmas lights switch on next week! Now to put up our 11ft fresh Christmas tree….think we may need to get the ladder out to decorate this one!
Residents Mark Remembrance with Poppy Display
Hafan-Y-Coed residents have been making poppy decorations and wreaths to form part of the stunning display in the home. With residents who were children or teens during World War II along with many war time babies, it has been so interesting to hear about their memories of those years.
Operation Christmas Child Donations
Residents at Hafan-Y-Coed are passionate about giving back and this year we have decided to work with the Tabernacle Chapel in Llanelli with their Operation Christmas Child appeal. We have been busy filling shoe boxes with toiletries, clothing items and toys and these will be distributed to children living in poverty. We want to thank everyone who has kindly donated items to us it means so much to everyone involved.
