Activities at Shawford Springs Care Home

We understand that the people we support have passions and interests that could be difficult to pursue after moving into a care home – but that doesn’t mean we don’t encourage them to try! Some hobbies can define a person, so our Activities Coordinators are dedicated to ensuring that everyone we support is able to do what makes them happy to the best of their abilities. Social events are organised with individual tastes in mind and with the idea that residents have the opportunity to try new and exciting things.

Joanne Gadd

Activities Co-ordinator

Hello, I am Joanne. I have worked as an activities coordinator for over seven years. In that time I have built a wealth of skills, knowledge and experience in designing and implementing activities that will support the mind, body and soul. I have a passion for delivering person centred sessions and will strive to ensure our weekly programme is engaging for all. I love organising events and am continually looking for ways to connect with our local community.

We are Sailing.....

A few of our residents had the best afternoon sailing recently...

We boarded the Alison MacGregor operated by Solent Dolphin charity for a fantastic two hour cruise from Hythe Marina out onto Southampton water

The sun made an appearance and we were lucky enough to spot four Black Swans...

Our thanks to the volunteer crew of The Alison MacGregor... we are already looking forward to our next trip

Getting to Know you - New friends

Forming Friendships

Some of our lovely ladies have been enjoying chatting & getting to know one other today over a cuppa.

Tropical Day

We enjoyed games, music & a spot of dancing at our Tropical Party along with a delicious three course tropical lunch. The lounge was transformed into a tropical paradise island for the occasion which had us all reminiscing about our favourite beach holidays.

Out and about Locally

This week we enjoyed a lovely trip to Whinwhistle Coarse Fishery and Romsey Bait and Tackle Shop for a cup of tea with a view.

The cafè served a generous cuppa with shortbread which we were able to enjoy next to the tranquil lakes.

A big thank you to the staff & visitors who were all so friendly & welcoming. We’ll definitely be visiting again.

Eyes Down - Musical Bingo - USA

Every Monday we hold our weekly Bingo Club here at Shawford Springs.

During this week’s session we enjoyed a game of U.S.A Musical Bingo, where instead of marking off numbers we got to listen to some American themed hits including; American Pie, Tennessee Waltz & Viva Las Vegas.

A big well done to Marie, who was this week’s winner.
