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.

Life at Snowdrop Place Care Home
200 Years of Cadbury's
Today we celebrated the 200 year anniversary of Cadbury Dairy Milk.
Barchester Healthcare teamed up with the chocolate giants Cadbury and the Alzheimers Society for an afternoon of reminiscence and fun. We were delivered hampers of Dairy milk chocolate for the home to enjoy which went down a treat with everyone.
Our residents came together in the cinema and watched the live virtual event. They got to see how Cadburys packaging has changed over the years and learn all sorts of interesting facts and take part in a Cadbury quiz.
Dementia Friends Talk
DEMENTIA ACTION WEEK!
We kicked off the week with a Dementia Friends talk. Inviting staff, relatives & the local community to join us.
Dementia Friends is the biggest ever initiative to transform how the nation thinks, acts and talks about dementia.

Ready, steady, Sow
We took advantage of the beautiful weather today and set up our gardening tools on our lovely balcony over looking the gardens and have been sowing Sunflower seeds ready to enter into the Embracing Age Hampshire sunflower growing competition.
Embracing Age Hampshire are running a sunflower growing competition this summer across care homes in Hampshire.
Entries can be for the tallest, the shortest, the largest seed head or the most interesting sunflower.

Cook Off for Barchester's Charitable Foundation
We are proud share our Managing Director, Natasha Lazovic, is taking part in a Charity Cook off for the Barchester Foundation which takes place on the 29th of May.
The event is to raise awareness and funds for Barchester's Charitable Foundation, who do incredible work supporting vulnerable people and helping connect them to their local communities, combating isolation and loneliness.
Natasha will be going head to head in some healthy competition with her colleagues from the other divisions in the company and on the day Natasha will have to cook a main course and a dessert, crafted from her own recipes, which will be judged on creativity and taste by members of Barchester’s Executive Team.
We wish her the very best of luck and if you would like to support Natasha and give to this very worthy charity please use this link here to donate.
A visit from the Brownies!
The Brownies of the 6th Hedge End Brownie group joined us for board games & fun last night, they brought along some classics & a few new games to play with the residents.
The fishing game seemed to be the game of choice with giraffes in scarfs also being a big hit with everyone.
The residents thoroughly enjoyed themselves playing old & new games. Some residents who had been girl guides were very intrigued swell in how different girl guiding is today & how much it has changed over the years.
A massive thank you to Brown Owl Ali Noyce and the 6th Hedge End Brownies for a lovely evening.
Concert from School Children
The children from Berrywood Primary School entertained our residents with songs from their spring concert.
Our residents had a fabulous afternoon listening and singing along to their favourite songs performed by the children
