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
Fun in the Sun
We certainly made the most of the sunshine at the weekend by spending as much time as possible outside.
Some of the residents were happy to just sit out in the sun and enjoy their day whilst others were enjoying a nice game of scrabble with their friends.
We hope it isn't too long before we get to see the sun again!!
Save room for Pudding
We were happy and grateful to be invited by our friends at Hilton Park Care Home to join them at their Pudding Club.
Our residents had a lovely afternoon trying all of the amazing cakes that were provided and went home with smiles on faces and full tummies.
We look forward to returning the favour when we host our own Pudding Club later this year.
Fun and Games at Melbourn Springs
We have had a busy morning at Melbourn Springs playing our favourite board games including Scrabble, Jenga, the name guessing game and our residents' favourite cards games.
We also continued with our alphabet quiz where all of the answer start with specific letters of the alphabet. This week the answers all started with the letters U,V or W.
Molly was the proud winner of the quiz!!!
Petting time at Melbourn Springs
Back by popular demand at Melbourn Springs was Michelle's Animal Therapy & Petting Party. The residents wanted more cuddle time and we simply couldn't say no!!
It was an especially lovely visit this time because 8-week old Poppy the Pup and two 5-week old bunny rabbits came along to play along with the dogs, cats, tortoise, crested dragon, guinea pig and not forgetting Doris the chicken.
The residents (and staff) had the best afternoon and our doors will always be open for Michelle and the animals.
Singing and Dancing with Kirsty
The residents at Melbourn Springs had a lovely afternoon listening to the amazing Kirsty Wright as she went through her full repertoire.
There was lots of singing and dancing not to mention some lovely duets with Kirsty and the residents.
Another great day at Melbourn Springs and we cannot wait to welcome Kirsty back in the very near future!!
The village way!!
We had a great day on Saturday at the Melbourn Village Fete.
After a slightly wet start to the day, the sun came out as did the people as lots of Melbourn Springs Goodie bags were handed out.
We even managed to get a couple of our residents to come over and say hello.
We can't wait to do the same next year!!!!
