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.

Remembrance Day

On the 11th hour of the 11th day we paid tribute to men, women & our four legged hero's from both world wars & later conflicts.

We enjoyed putting together a very special day for our lovely residents and the community by the placing of handmade poppies in our garden followed by a vintage vehicle display.

The community spirit and gathering to pay condolences followed by enjoying celebrating times gone by was awesome.

Thank you to everyone that attended for making every moment precious.

 

We really can make the wildest of dreams come true

We like to make our residents dreams a reality no matter how wild.

We arranged for a special delivery for one of our lucky residents. Forbidden Nights were contacted and delighted they could help with Joan's dream, arriving with flowers & tickets for their show they charmed her off her feet. Joan has been on cloud nine ever since.
