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
Afternoon Tea and a Chat
Hafan-Y-Coed's residents enjoyed a special afternoon tea Presented in china tea cups and saucers along with plates of a mouthwatering selection of cakes everyone was spoilt for choice. The atmosphere was relaxed with lots of chatting amongst friends.
Do Not Pass Go!
If there is one board game you can really get into it is Monopoly and what better way to spend a rainy afternoon with friends. Thank you Louise for joining in and ensuring fair play! We all agreed we like to play the original version and wondered how long it had been around as everyone knows Monopoly. A quick check on Google and the first version was created in 1902 which is incredible!
Basket Creations at Gardening Club
Rain wasn't forecast, but it didn't stop us planting! We planted up lots of lovely baskets and planters in our gardening club. The array of colour looks stunning, residents really enjoy spending time outside tending to and sat in our gardens.
Sarah Celebrates 15 Years Service
We would like to say a huge thank you to one of our long serving carers Sarah. Sarah joined the team in 2006 and has dedicated 15 years of love and care to Hafan-Y-Coed and our residents. Sarah is a fantastic carer and is thought of highly by staff and residents alike. Thank you Sarah for your continued dedication and hard work.
Gentleman's Club
Gentleman's Club is always different but one thing that is consistent is usually there is beer! This week the gents were treated to a delicious fish and chip lunch. Thank you to our local chippie Migels Fish Bar. Sat out in the sun it was like everyone was on holiday.
