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

Life at Melbourn Springs Care Home
Congratulations Iris
“Where has that year gone?!?”
Our first resident to move into Melbourn Springs (Iris) marked her first year at the home in style - and Karen, Dan and the team were on hand to mark the special day with Roses, Truffles and Iris’s very own Victoria Sponge - expertly prepared by our hugely talented Second Chef Annie.
“I am just so happy here!” said Iris “And highly recommend it!”
*Watch out for our official first birthday celebrations - details will be released once restrictions allow us to mark this special occasion properly.
Such lovely feedback...
Such kind words from the daughter or one of our residents. This absolutely means the world to all of the team here at Melbourn Springs and we are delighted with your lovely feedback and 5* review - thank you so, so much!

Weekly Fitness Sessions
Keeping fit at Melbourn Springs alongside the fantastic Inclusive Sports Academy CIC.
Thank you so much for your wonderful sessions Andy and team. Some of our residents really get stuck in, the feedback has been great and we are all looking forward to our next sessions together.
Fully Vaccinated Celebrations
We have had lots to celebrate here at Melbourn Springs as we continue to have remained free of the virus since that start of the pandemic and have now become a 100% fully vaccinated home including all of our residents and staff.
And what better way to celebrate than by having our own celebratory party to mark the occasion and also to celebrate the birthday of a very special lady - our Queen.
What was even more special is that Doreen and Audrey were even interviewed by Anglia News! “That’s what you feel - you’re safe!” said Audrey.
What a truly splendid and memorable day we had #barchestertogether #DontWaitVaccinate
Grand National comes to Melbourn Springs
At Melbourn Springs we enjoyed our very own Grand National themed Afternoon Tea complete with live races and a delicious spread of Finger Sandwiches, Cheese Scones, Millionaire Shortbread and fresh Punch expertly prepared by our 2nd Chef Annie.
It really was a delightful afternoon and even our own thoroughbred made an appearance too! Needless to say everyone wanted a ride and he was very well behaved!
