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.

We have been taking advantage of the beautiful weather here at Snowdrop Place and have been dining alfresco.
Great food, good company and lovely sunshine.

The Music Man Project
We had the pleasure of The Music Man Project Hampshire come and perform for us yesterday and what a wonderful afternoon we had. The residents sang along with the songs they new and learnt the signs to songs that were new to them. The staff including senior general manager Gemma Hicks joined in.

From everyone at Snowdrop Place, we'd like to say a massive thank you and well done to all the performers that joined us from the The Music Man Project Hampshire. You were all fabulous and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
Birds Of Prey
Geoff from Liberty's Owl, Raptor and Reptile Centre and his feathered friends joined us yesterday.
Residents were in awe of the majestic creatures and their striking beauty. Getting to see them up close and learning about their natural habitats, hunting skills and the important role they play in our eco system.
Geoff also spoke about why these incredible predators are in captivity and the crucial efforts being made to protect and preserve their species.
Ready Steady Sow
We took advantage of the beautiful weather and set up our gardening tools on our lovely balcony overlooking the gardens and have been sowing Sunflower seeds ready to enter into the Embracing Age Hampshire sunflower growing competition. Entries can be for the tallest, shortest, largest seed head, most interesting sunflower or oldest grower.
Olive and Margret who love being out in the fresh air and a spot of gardening had a lovely afternoon reminiscing about their gardens at home and all the beautiful flowers they used to grow and that you can actually eat some of them in salad. The ladies worked as team, one filling the pots with soil while the other sowed the seeds. Everyone now has the pleasure of watching them grow & making sure they are watered regularly so we can win in the competition.
