Activities at Silverbirch House Care Home

Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.

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.

Read our brochure ‘Life-enriching activities’ for more information about life in our care homes.

Supporting Local Support Centre's

We know how important it is to support local community support groups such as The Hive.

The work that they do to give those that maybe lonely or struggling to make themselves food is invaluable

Louise our General Manager wanted to ensure that we keep donating to the centre and offer our help and support. It's all part of our networking and building community links in Guildford, Louise met with Lisa Barrett The Hive's Manager to discuss ways we can continue to help.

Retail Therapy and some cake!

Retail Therapy and some cake!

Some of our lovely residents often like to pop to the local shopping centre to do some retail therapy.

We decided to browse and shop and after reward ourselves with a coffee and some cake before returning home.

It was a wonderful day and we got back in time for our evening meal and a glass of wine to round off the day!

Audrey our Spurs footie fan

AUDREY OUR SUPER SPURS FAN

Audrey loves her footie and is a massive Spurs fan!

As part of making our residents 'dreams come true' we asked Audrey if she would like to go along to watch a match but she really felt that was too much for her so instead Louise our General Manager got the next best thing and presented her with a programme from this weekend's game along with some other gifts from the match!!

Audrey is clearly delighted with her gifts which in turn makes us happy too...
