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.

Life at Melbourn Springs Care Home
Bring on the Boules!
It certainly is harder than it looks and Doreen and Muriel blew the competition completely out of the water! By the end of the game we were all lining up for some tips from the ‘pros’ - great game ladies!
Happy Father's Day
Happy Father’s Day from all of our residents and staff here at Melbourn Springs.
Our thoughts and prayers are also with family and friends who are remembering those special men who are no longer with us.
We really have had a lovely day here at the home complete with lots of treats, visits and a delicious Sunday Roast lunch too!
4 Villages Orchestra V Concert
Our residents at Melbourn Springs loved the V Concert by the 4 Villages Orchestra that much that they wanted to watch it again! The 4VO is an exciting orchestra drawn primarily from musicians living in and around the four villages of Duxford, Hinxton, Ickleton and Whittlesford.
“It really was superb and so clever how everyone was on the screen together” said Vera. “They are all very talented musicians and we had a splendid time!” added Audrey.
More details about the 4 Villages Orchestra can be found here: www.4vo.org.uk and we are all looking forward to being able to see one of your concerts live together soon!
Arts and Crafts in the Garden
When it is that hot - sometimes a little bit of Art, a Jigsaw or even a good book out in the Garden is all that you need! And Popeye even made an appearance too as our resident Joy showed us her fantastic cartoonist skills.
National Carers Week
To mark National Carers week at Melbourn Springs thank you cards were presented by our General Manager Karen on behalf of our CEO Dr Pete Calveley and Director of Nursing - Julia Atherton. All of our team also received a box of delicious Lindt Chocolates too which went down a storm as you can imagine!
Karen says, "We are so proud of our wonderful care team for the outstanding care that they provide every single day to our residents at Melbourn Springs - thank you so much for everything that you do and happy National Carers week!
