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
Famous Faces
“Now, I know him but I can’t put my finger on it dear!” The Famous Faces game of famous people through the ages always gets us all thinking - and what’s great is that there are key facts about the famous person on the back of the card so that we can always learn something about them too!
'Floss Pong!'
Our residents are always up for trying new things at Melbourn Springs and today it was ‘Floss Pong’ - or maybe Chair Pong in our case!
It certainly is harder to get the ball out than it looks but everyone was in stitches of laughter and reminiscing about old party games they used to play including Balls and Buckets!
Art and Craft Club - Flowers
Week by week more residents are joining the Melbourn Springs Arts and Craft Club with our Activities Coordinator – Sophie. We think you’ll agree the paintings and pictures this week are absolutely super - we certainly have some very talented Artists among us!
Mother's Day Celebrations
Mother’s Day is always a special day and we celebrated it in style here at Melbourn Springs.
The day began with a Zoom service from All Saints', Melbourn and Holy Trinity, Meldreth, fresh Daffodils were presented and our residents enjoyed a delicious lunch and Afternoon Tea - including Strawberry Meringues and Chocolate Truffles.
It was a splendid day, full of smiles, Flowers and some residents even wanted to write thank you letters to their families too!
Mindful Meditation
Our Activities Coordinator - Sophie hosts weekly mindful meditation workshops here at Melbourn Springs including arm chair Yoga and Tai Chi.
Chandra, Rosina and Vera always enjoy coming to the workshops which are relaxing and invigorating - and the Coffee and Cake afterwards is always thoroughly enjoyed too!
Baking Club
Our Baking Club occurs every week at Melbourn Springs and traditional Shortbread was on the menu this week.
The residents always have a super time and the home smells gorgeous when the tasty treats are baking.
Apparently, the Shortbread was absolutely delicious - perfect to enjoy with a hot cup of Tea!
