Activites 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.

Coton Orchard Garden Centre

We recently enjoyed a lovely afternoon at Coton orchard Garden centre. Residents leisurely looked around all the beautiful plants and flowers on show along with all the other lovely bits on offer. 

Afterwards, we retired to the beautiful Café for tea & cake, which went down well. Afterwards, it was a nice, relaxed drive back to Melbourn Springs through the beautiful countryside. Perfect!

Our busy week continued with another excellent afternoon of entertainment courtesy of the one and only Dave Parry. 

This time we were joined by our very good friends from the Evergreen Club in Royston to sing-along with some timeless classics.
