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.
Marie Spires
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
Barchester's 25th Anniversary
To celebrate this momentous occasion, we had the Mayor and Deputy Mayoress join us for the day, along with the local police force and fire service.
Residents and loved ones enjoyed the visit from Mike's Donkeys and the face painting.
The raffle was a great success – we managed to raise a total of £177.00 for the residents' fund, which will be spent on a big trip out near Christmas!
We had over 150 visitors throughout the afternoon and even made it into the local paper!
Trip to Folly Farm
18 residents accompanied by staff and relatives, recently took a trip out in the minibus to Folly Farm in Pembrokeshire. The weather was not on our side for the day however everyone still had a wonderful time! We are looking forward to going back again soon.
Open Day!
We recently held an Open Day here at the home with residents, families, visitors and staff joining us for a day of singing, dancing, eating and generally having lots of fun! Thanks to all who attended the day, we hope to see you at the next one!
