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.

The Big Garden Birdwatch
The residents at Melbourn Springs are taking part in the Big Garden Birdwatch over the next few weeks. We are making bird feeders and will be recording the avian visitors to our garden to report back to the RSPB site.
We have printed out the RSPB pack ready to catalogue which birds we see. Why don’t you join us in with us on the big garden birdwatch?
The residents at Melbourn Springs would love to see what birds you saw too, email your pictures to our Activities Coordinator Sophie who can share your pictures with the residents on MelbournSprings.Activities@barchester.com
Have a good weekend bird watchers.
Burns Night Celebrations
Burns Night celebrations at Melbourn Springs included all the traditional dishes and activities. Our residents had a dinner of Scottish smoked salmon salad followed by Neeps and Tatties with Haggis.
Our head chef even created some deep-fried Mars Bars and made Cracken too. Along with some fairy cakes with Monkey whisky buttercream.
We of course did a toast to the Haggis, and to the Lasses. We ended the night with a quiz, some music and dancing.
