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
All Saints Autumn Fayre
Our General Manager - Karen and Home Services Advisor - Dan were on hand at the All Saints Melbourn Autumn Fayre to meet the local community and talk about our beautiful new home that will be opening soon. The day was a huge success with stalls, games and delicious refreshments including home made Soup and Cake! John Moore, professional photographer was also available to snap some great shots and Joe Rose - local celebrity singer gave a great performance coinciding with the launch of his new CD. It was a thoroughly enjoyable day and a pleasure for Melbourn Springs to be a part of this fantastic fundraiser.
Melbourn Ghostwalk
Our Home Services Advisor Dan became a clown to take part in the Melbourn Amateur Dramatic Society (MADS) annual Melbourn Ghostwalk this year. It was wet and windy evening - but all who came had lots of spooky fun and enjoyed a delicious hot supper at the Melbourn Community Hub afterwards. Best of all - all proceeds collected are going straight back into the community to support the amazing work of the Hub and MADS too!
Melbourn Springs and the Royston Business Network
Our Home Services Advisor Dan always enjoys representing Melbourn Springs at the Royston Business Network weekly breakfast where local businesses come together. This week Dan learnt even more from Helen Froggett about the oustanding work of The Accountancy Practice and that the company has reached the finals in the Hertfordshire Business Awards for Best Family Business - thoroughly well deserved!
The RBN gathers at the Royston Heath Sports Club every Thursday morning and includes business advice, guest speakers, weekly highlights, business news and charity events are heavily supported too!
For more information about how to join RBN and all the amazing things that the group does please contact Dave Winkworth (Chair) on 07961 590 154 or email info@roystonbusinessnetwork.co.uk
Marketing Suite opening celebration
Royston Town Council Mayor, Councillor Robert Inwood and Jose Hales, District Councillor for Melbourn at South Cambridgeshire District Council joined guests from the local community at our official Marketing Suite opening at Melbourn Springs.
Pictures of old Melbourn were gifted by Peter Simmonett and Ann Dekkers of the local Melbourn Magazine and the Melbourn History Group - these amazing pictures will also be framed and feature in the rooms of the first residents too!
Peter and Ann also kindly donated a history of Melbourn presentation which is currently on display in our Lifestyle Enrichment room for all of our home visitors to see.
It was lovely for so many of our new friends from the community of Melbourn and the surrounding areas to join us for such a special occasion. The feedback has been amazing and all of our guests said that they were extremely impressed with Melbourn Springs and cannot wait to visit again!
Our Marketing Suite is open between 10am - 5pm Tuesday to Sunday and from 12pm – 8pm on Thursdays. Tea and Tours of our beautiful new home are always availiable - no appointment necessary!
Virtual Dementia Tour team training
What a hugely humbling and informative experience! The Melbourn Springs team were fortunate to experience the Virtual Dementia Tour - courtesy of the Melbourn Community Hub.
The experience enabled the team to gain a deeper understanding and a greater insight into the world of Dementia to ensure that our residents receive the best care possible. At Barchester the training never stops to ensure that our staff are the best trained in the sector.
National Air Ambulance Week fundraising
The Melbourn Springs team had a super day fundraising at the hugely popular Bury Lane Farm Shop for the East Anglian Air Ambulance.
The East Anglian Air Ambulance exists to save lives by delivering highly skilled doctors and critical care paramedics by air or car to seriously ill or injured people in the region.
General Manager Karen and her team were so pleased to have been able to support this amazing charity during National Air Ambulance Week and build on the special relationship that has been forged.
