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.

I'm Marie, the lead activities coordinator for Hafan Y Coed. I have been the activities coordinator for nearly three years and am passionate about encouraging the wellbeing of our residents. Ensuring all abilities are catered for in a bespoke schedule is paramount to their individual wellbeing needs. I am joined by Clare and Sue who also help to create a life enrichment program suitable for all communities.

Life at Hafan-Y-Coed Care Home
Elf Day
We enjoyed a Christmas visit from the Mayor himself in recognition of Elf Day.
Children in Need
We have been busy making cakes and badges to raise money for Children In Need here at Hafan-Y-Coed. We also hosted a raffle and a had a fantastic music show to celebrate the fact that we managed to raise £84 for the charity.
Lunch Outing
A couple of residents enjoyed a lunch outing at a nearby pub. It's always nice to get out of the house.
Afternoon Exercise
We spent some time on one of our Memory Lane communities dancing the afternoon away.
Open Day
We showcased our newly-refurbished nursing community and reception area, and were joined by some local emergency services personnel for lunch.
Employee of the Month - October
Louise has been part of the team here at Hafan-Y-Coed for over 2 years now as our Receptionist/Administrator.
Louise always has a smile for all visitors, residents and team members, and even managed to keep smiling through a 12 hour 'Spin-a-thon' held at the home to raise money for Children in Need.
Louise raised over £300 on the day and all of the residents enjoyed cheering her on and singing along to the music. Thank you, Louise, for being such a great team member!
