Activities at Southerndown Care Home
Our specialist activities staff are committed to organising a mix of activities and events for residents and the local community to get involved in, including trips out to local places of interest in our minibus and visits from entertainers and musicians. It is important to us that each individual who we support can get as much from these as possible, so we try our best to arrange activities that reflect their interests and capabilities as best as possible, and encourage them to participate in any way they can. We also encourage relatives to join with activities and events as often as they can.
Stacey Davies
I have worked at Southerndown since 2013. I enjoy providing various activities for our residents with the team, such as gardening groups, trips out in the mini bus around the Cotswolds, quiz days and entertainment performances. Amongst the many things we enjoy doing, part of my role within the home is to ensure all residents are provided the purpose in life to fulfil day to day stimulation, whether that be together, or creating individual activity to those that prefer.

Life at Southerndown Care Home
Fall fighters at ‘Come for tea’
Southerndown had such an amazing reception for our fall fighters talk at ‘come for tea’ St Marys Parish rooms, Chipping Norton.
It was an absolute pleasure to present our Barchester Healthcare/RoSPA campaign to increase awareness of how to prevent the pain and distress caused by falls in our local community. The talk was informative and useful and it was great to meet so many new people in our local community.
Kiddley Divey
For our musical afternoon we had a visit from Yvette at Kiddley Divey. We spent the afternoon singing to our favourite songs such as que sera sera and dancing along with the music. We always enjoy these sessions as the music always brings back so many wonderful memories.
Baking Club
Southerndown held their weekly baking club, and it was a great success. With so many bakers amongst us sharing a love for baking and exchanging hint and tips. The baking club always brings back so many wonderful memories.
Christmas Lunch At Sturdy’s Castle
We were so excited for our outing to Sturdy’s Castle for Christmas Lunch and all the trimmings, the food was fantastic, the staff were amazing and we had the best time. What a great way to get into the festive spirit, Christmas crackers and party hats not to mention the Christmas jokes. We are already looking forward to our next visit.
Our Christmas visit to Blenheim Palace
We Visited Blenheim Palace ‘The Kingdom of the Snow Queen’ for a Christmas outing. The Kingdom of the Snow Queen really is a truly magical experience. The palace rooms were transformed into magical, shimmering frost coved Kingdom of ice. We thought it was truly amazing day, and we all had such a fantastic time.
Evesham Country Park
We spent a day at Evesham County park for one of our Christmas outings. We thoroughly enjoyed the park with its amazing Christmas displays, and we loved the colour coordinated Christmas trees. We also enjoyed a tasty Christmas Lunch and we even had time to visit the Christmas Penguins. Everyone had such a festive fun filled day.
