Activities at Melbourn Springs Care Home

Ensuring that our social events offer fun and adventure is a major focus of the ethos of our home; it’s important that those we support can enjoy an active and social lifestyle. Of course, there will always be those who prefer peace and quiet, and in these instances, a cup of tea and a chat will always be welcomed.

Pudding Club returns to Melbourn Springs

We had a very special afternoon yesterday at Melbourn Springs as we hosted our latest Pudding Club. Sean, our Chef and his team created some amazing cakes based on recipes from our residents. We were joined by our friends at Hilton Park Care Home and also the Mayor of Royston as well as the amazing Sally who entertained the residents with the soothing sounds of her Clarinet.
 Judging by the empty plates at the end, the afternoon was an incredible success for all involved. Hosting events for friends and family members to join us is an essential part of our activities program and we are always looking for new ideas to bring the wider community into our home.

Happy Birthday Audrey

We had an amazing day yesterday at Melbourn Springs as we celebrated our very own Audrey's Birthday. 

Chef prepared a very special Birthday cake and we all sang Happy Birthday to Audrey. We also had the brilliant Trevor Bugie at the home for a good old fashioned sing-song.

We hope that you had an excellent Birthday, Audrey!!

A trip to the Garden Centre

We had another little day-trip yesterday which saw us taking the residents over to Bury Lane Farm Shop to have a look at their beautiful festive decorations. Of course, whilst we were there we treated ourselves a cheeky mocha and shortbread....yum yum!!
 Regularly popping out for coffee, pub lunches, mini-bus trips, and other outings is an essential part of our weekly activity calendar.

We will remember them

We were proud to be part of the Remembrance Day parade through Melbourn Village yesterday as we paid our respects to all of the Men and Women who sacrificed their lives for our freedom. It is always a time of deep reflection for our residents and every year they want to be a part of the parade.

Once back at the home there was a lovely hot drink and biscuits waiting for the residents.

We will also be observing the two-minute silence today at 11:00 as we remember the guns falling silent.

We will remember them...

Fireworks Nights at Melbourn Springs

We had an amazing Fireworks Night at Melbourn Springs with our residents, families and other guest enjoying a wide range of spectacular and colourful fireworks along with sparklers.
 Hot drinks and snacks were also provided for everybody and we there were lots of very happy faces at the end of the show!!
 National celebrations and family-friendly events are just some of the ways that we ensure the residents at Melbourn Springs remain connected with their loved ones and the wider community.

The Magic of Music

We had another musical filled afternoon when the excellent Cara Bo came to Melbourn Springs to sing for the residents and their families. Cara is very well liked by the residents and she always interacts and makes every song feel personal to everybody in the room.
 The methods and mediums may change but the heart of live music - the communal joy, the shared emotions, the collective energy - remains untouched. As we look to the future, one thing is clear: live music will continue to be a cherished experience at Melbourn Springs, even as its form and format evolve.
