Activities at Snowdrop Place 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.

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.

Afternoon fun with skittles

What better way to spend a sunny afternoon, than with the patio doors open enjoying fresh air and a fabulous game of skittles. Residents from both our communities joined forces for a friendly competition of skittles. Our activities team member Gilly keeping a tally of scores, and resident Betty aiming for a strike! 

Morning Move at Snowdrop Place

Monday 24th March saw the start of our Morning Move club and what a success its been already! We had an official "opening ceremony" from our lovely resident Betty who already goes on walks daily, now encouraging others to join her. Offering an opportunity to meet each morning, get together and promote mobility for all of our residents we've really had a great time. At the moment we're fair weather walkers, however that may soon change!

Hilda connects with family in Austria

We were delighted to be able to connect our resident Hilda with technology to enjoy catching up with her Niece in Austria. 

Hilda's niece commented "My dearest Auntie lives at Snowdrop since 3 years. I visited her sometimes but we, her family, live far away in Austria. I think she found a good place, very friendly staff and Gemma arranged Zoom calls, so we can see us and have a chat. They take good care of her and I am glad about IT."
