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.

Life at Melbourn Springs Care Home
KJ and the Catt come to play
We had a musical afternoon at Melbourn Springs and we were pleased to be joined by the brilliant KJ and the Catt with their full repertoire of old classics and things slightly newer.
It really was a great afternoons entertainment with lots of singing laughing and participating. Even the staff were dancing & singing throughout.
Thank you to KJ and the Catt for another great afternoon.
Day-Trippers
We took some of the residents out on a minibus trip out to Royston heath.
The sun was shining on the residents and they had a look around the beautiful heath and then once we had finished exploring we stopped in the coffee shop where the tea flowed and the cakes were yummy!!
A really great day out for all involved.
Singing and Dancing with the Banjo Man
We were very fortunate to be visited by our old favourite, the The Banjo Man.
He is one of our regular entertainers at Melbourn Springs and the residents absolutely love having a good sing-a-long and a dance to his excellent mix of old and new songs.
These afternoons are what makes Melbourn Springs such a special place and we cannot wait to do this again.
Life's a Picnic at Melbourn Springs
We have continued to make the most of the warm weather, this time with an impromptu Picnic Day in the grounds of the home.
The residents were invited to pull up a chair and enjoy a whole host of treats which were prepared courtesy of the team of chefs, whilst the rest of the team, led by Magda, were busy making sure of all of the residents were treated to table service.
Plates were filled to the brim with fresh bread, a selection of cheese and pate and pork pies, for the residents to enjoy al fresco. The fun didn’t stop there as some of the other delights on offer included refreshing juices and a variety of freshly baked cakes and pastries.
A day out in Duxford
We made the most of another glorious day yesterday by taking the residents out on the minibus for a lovely morning at the Duxford Community Centre where we had a little look around and then sat down for a well earned drink and snack.
The resident's love it when they get to visit new places and love being around new people.
Regular outings are just one aspect of our life enrichment program and all the trips we take are at the request of the residents. Our monthly activities calendar boasts a range of outings and entertainment.
