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.
Read our brochure 'Life-enriching activities' for more information about life in our care homes.

Life at Melbourn Springs Care Home
We love a good sing along!!
Headphones and lei flowers on and the Silent Movement to Music with Sharon begins!
We had an hour of fun and laughter as we sang and moved to lots of our favourite songs! I think we must have sounded great as the onlookers were all smiling! We shook pom poms, waved streamers and popped bubbles! YMCA, New York New York, Sweet Caroline and Daisy, just to name a few! Arms raised, toes pointing and legs kicking!
Elvis is in the building!!
Elvis was in the building and charming all the ladies!
Singing familiar hits and some new ones, he had everyone enjoying every moment of the performance!
Doreen's Birthday !
We love birthdays at Melbourn Springs! Today was no exception when we celebrated Doreen's special day! Family and friends made a surprise visit with cards, flowers and gifts! More celebrations on Sunday when Doreen will enjoy private dining with her family!
Happy birthday Doreen - our birthday girl!
Tap About Town !
We always love welcoming foot tapping Katie Lewis to our home! She always brings fun, laughter and energy with her and leaves us with smiles and aching arms after we have been clapping, swimming, hitch hiking and shaking our eggs! Not always in tune but we're having so much fun, we don't care!
We might have to buy Shankly his own pair of tap shoes! Our very own dancing carer!
Audrey loved the whole afternoon and couldn't wait to tell Katie what a wonderful time everyone had. 'Thank you for coming, it's always lovely to see you!' Another great afternoon Katie! You certainly brighten our lives!
Ukulele Fun!
Yesterday we had the pleasure of welcoming Royston Ukulele Group to our home for some great music, favourite songs and lots of laughter! Thank you so much for entertaining us!
Pat said, ' What a lovely time and everyone was so friendly!'
Susie and Jackie played for the first time in front of an audience and really enjoyed themselves! They said they can't wait to come back and we look forward to seeing you again!
Hedgehog Hamper
A huge thank you to everyone who donated to our Hedgehog Hamper over the last week!
I was delighted to hand it over to the SWCC - Shepreth Hedgehog Hospital this afternoon and I got to spend a few minutes with their newest additions, Giles, Ella & Pamela who are doing just fine in their incubator.
The Hedgehog hospital is doing amazing work and encourage us all to look out for hogs in distress so keep those beady eyes out and help the hedgehogs If you'd like to find out more about the hedgehog hospital you can follow their page tagged above.
