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.

Read our brochure ‘Life-enriching activities’ for more information about life in our care homes.

Celebrating life at Melbourn Springs Care Home

Melbourn Springs Fete

Some of our residents here at Melbourn Springs enjoyed an afternoon in the sunshine with a trip out to the Melbourn village fête. They took a look around the many stalls offering different things to buy & enjoyed looking at the old vintage cars on show.

Then sat down to enjoy a cold drink and an ice cream. A very enjoyable time had by all.

Jessie's 100th Birthday

Congratulations to our Jessie on her 100th birthday. She was joined by her ever-loving husband Maurice, close friends and family. They all enjoyed food, drink, a beautiful cake & spent the afternoon reminiscing of happy memories spent with Jessie over the years gone by.

Congratulations Jessie on your very special day, best wishes from all the staff here at Melbourn Springs.

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!

Enjoying the Sunshine!

With National Gardening Day just a week away, some of our residents were eager to get out into the beautiful april sunshine in our well maintained gardens to check on the recently planted flowers to see how they are doing. Our residents enjoy getting out in the Garden and even better when the sun is shining.

The Evergreen Dave entertains once again

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.

It was a lovely cheerful afternoon that was wrapped up with a lovely cup of tea and piece of freshly baked cake.
