Activities at Snowdrop Place Care Home
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.

Celebrating Easter in Style
Residents and staff at Barchester's Snowdrop Place care home in Hedge End had an enjoyable Easter celebration with a range of activities. These included an Easter fun day and market, Easter biscuit making, and a visit from local preschool children. The residents also enjoyed egg painting and an Easter church service. They had a delightful Easter meal of roast lamb with all the trimmings, prepared by the chef. The residents appreciated the effort put into the Easter celebrations and had a wonderful time with family and friends.
Sensory Theatre Visit for Residents
Residents and staff from Snowdrop Place Care Home in Hedge End enjoyed a visit to their local theatre to see “On the Beach,” an interactive sensory experience for people living with dementia. The immersive story of a day in the life of a working beach was performed through dance, music, and non-verbal storytelling. One resident said, “It was such a wonderful experience, it felt like we were really at the beach - the sounds and colours were fantastic. I wanted to take off my socks and shoes and go for a paddle!”
Encouraging Nutrition & Hydration
Snowdrop Place celebrated Nutrition and Hydration Week with lots of yummy, wholesome food, thirst-quenching beverages and some interesting activities along the way. Nutrition and Hydration Week aims to highlight, promote and celebrate improvements in the provision of nutrition and hydration locally, nationally and globally So staff devised an exciting and fun week of activities with everything from cocktails and mocktails, a super snack trolley with crudités, dips and other healthy nibbles to an ice cream sundae station where residents came along to make their own creations
