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

Graham and John entertain the residents

Live entertainment made a welcome return to Melbourn Springs this week courtesy of the excellent Graham and John. 

The residents were singing along and foot-tapping throughout the afternoon to a brilliant mixture of old-time classics mixed with some more modern day music. Graham and John certainly know what our residents want to hear and do absolutely everything to ensure that nobody is left disappointed.

We cannot wait to welcome them back to the home again very soon.

Happy Birthday Lawrence

We had a very special day at Melbourn Springs earlier in the week as it was Lawrence who celebrated his Birthday with a home-made cake from Chef and a card from everybody at the home.
 At Melbourn Springs we celebrate birthdays not just as a mark of ageing another year but as a celebration of life, achievements, and personal growth. Birthdays provide a special opportunity for us to help residents to gather with loved ones and create lasting memories.
 We hope you had an amazing day Lawrence!!!

Holy Communion with Reverend Sue

The residents have enjoyed their monthly Holy Communion morning at Melbourn Springs with Reverend Sue. 

This is a very important morning for our residents that wish to continue practising their religious beliefs and they always have a wonderful time. 

Thank you so much Sue, we are already looking forward to seeing you next month.

Tea and Cake at Bury Lane

When we ask our residents what their favourite trips out are they often mention how much they thoroughly enjoy the trips to Bury Lane Garden Centre.

With this in mind we simply had to return to Bury Lane for a leisurely look around at all the beautiful items they have for sale followed by a chat over a cup of tea and a slice of cake.

Making sure that our residents get to enjoy what they want to do and not what we think they will enjoy is paramount to a happy lifestyle at Melbourn Springs.

Dementia Coffee Morning with friends

We had a busy little morning yesterday when we joined our friends from Royston Rotary for their Dementia Coffee morning at the Coombes Community Centre in Royston.
 There was entertainment courtesy of Graham and John who were playing guitars and singing. This was followed by a competitive and light-hearted quiz before we all finished by making some very special Valentines Day cards. We love these coffee morning and cannot wait to see our friends again next month.

Creature Comforts

We had an amazing animal filled afternoon at Melbourn Springs courtesy of Safari Stu's Animal Party. We had a mixture of the 'cute and cuddlies' along with the 'creepy crawlies' and it was brilliant to see how much the residents interacted with the animals of choice!!
 Stu is also excellent with the residents and spends time with all of the residents, giving them an in-depth description of each of the animals. These are always some of our favourite activities and we very much look forward to welcoming Stu and the animals back to Melbourn Springs very soon.
