Activities at Melbourn Springs Care Home

Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life. 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.

Coffee morning with friends

We had a lovely time with our friends from Royston Rotary Club for their Dementia Coffee Morning at the Coombes Community Centre in Royston.The theme for the coffee morning was Easter so we got our creative hats on and made Easter cards and Easter baskets before we had an unexpected treat of Melbourn Springs' regulars Graham and John who sang and played instruments for us all.It was a lovely morning and we very look forward to going back in April.

Frank the all-round entertainer

Yesterday we had a very special afternoon when we were visited for the first time in a long time by the uniquely talented Frank and his 'hose-pipe' trumpet.........he also brought his traditional trumpet and keyboard with him and treated the residents to his full rendition of all-time classics which he both sang and played the music to.

A genuine one-man band and the residents absolutely loved having him at Melbourn Springs which was apparent by the singing and foot-tapping that took place throughout.

Thank you Frank, it was a pleasure to have you with us!!

Trev the Great Entertainer

We had a very good turnout as the residents enjoyed a repeat performance from the excellent Trev Budgie.
 The songs were classic and the interactions between Trev and the residents were so wholesome. We very much enjoy Trev coming to Melbourn Springs and we look forward to seeing him again in the not-too-distant future.

Football's coming home

Inspired by England Lionesses recent win over World Champions, Spain, the residents decided to get some extra training in just in case they get a late call-up for the next game!!
 Based on the skills and fancy footwork on display it is only a matter of time before football comes home!!

A sunny walk around Melbourn

The World seems like such a better place when the skies and blue and the sun is shining and with this in mind it was the perfect weather for the residents to have a little stroll around Melbourn.
 Whilst there was a definite early spring chill in the air, it was lovely to be out and about and taking in the fresh air. With the weather set fair for at least the rest of the week, we will be aiming do have as many outdoor activities as possible.

Two homes......one amazing Virtual Reality experience

Our very good friends at Margaret House Care Home invited us to join them for an amazing Virtual Reality experience at their home and the residents could not wait to go.
 They experienced walking around the Titanic, swimming with tropical fish and exploring the solar system, which were just a few of the many options available.
 Once everybody had finished we were treated to tea and cakes from the catering team at Margaret House.
 We will be enjoying another VR event with Margaret House later in the month, this time at Melbourn Springs and we very much look forward to welcoming them all to our wonderful home.
