Activities at Silverbirch House 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.

Life at Silverbirch House Care Home
Plant and Potter - Herbs and Veggies
Today, we got our hands dirty at Silverbirch House's monthly 'Plant and Potter' gathering! Our residents dug deep and planted herbs and vegetables, ensuring our kitchen can cook with the freshest ingredients. Join us for this community event on the 1st Wednesday of each month! Don't worry, we'll remind you closer to the date of the next one.
May Day Flower Arranging
The sun greeted us on the 1st day of May, inspiring our residents at Silverbirch House to get creative with flower arranging! Led by Netty, creating beautiful table decorations which now adorn our bistro.
Residents Swoop into Birdworld!
Finally, the sun decided to grace us with its presence today, and our minibus wasted no time in whisking residents away to Birdworld! Maureen, Marion, and Paddy, joined by our activities coordinators Jo and Luba were in for a treat as they mingled with a plethora of feathered friends, from charming penguins to chatty parrots.
Obviously the sun will stay out now for a while and we look forward to many more adventures together out and about!
Fun and games at Silverbirch House
Silverbirch House's activities coordinator organise 3 scheduled activities a day/ every day! The gaming spirit is alive and thriving! Whether it's a round of carpet bowls or diving into board games, the focus is intense and the competition is healthy. June, a newcomer to Silverbirch and in fact bowls, surprised us all by clinching top spot in the carpet bowls tourney, proving it's never the wrong time to learn new tricks!
A Trip down Memory Lane
Today at Silverbirch House, residents enjoyed a trip down memory lane with a memory box and arts and crafts activity! Colin and Tricia took us back to the 1950s with tales and images of yesteryear and Peter shared his passion for Jaguar Cars through his prized collection.
Residents Sang and Danced the afternoon away
Yesterday, staff and residents came together to sing and dance with Dan and the team at the Barchester Live Virtual event. We rocked we rolled and occasionally we grooved to the tunes of 'I Can See Clearly Now' by Johnny Cliff and 'Here Comes The Sun' by The Beatles. And the sun actually came out across the courtyard.
