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.

Happy 95th birthday ‘beautiful Joyce’
Our visitor suite became a very special place last week, used to host Joyce’s 95th birthday celebration with her son and daughter-in-law. Chef baked and decorated a gorgeous sponge cake, and they had a lovely catch up being able to see one another close up in the safety and warmth of our dedicated room.

Visiting Goats
Who needs a naughty elf on the shelf when you have two cheeky goats roaming the grounds at Southerndown Care Home.
Our residents love to track their whereabouts and see what mischief they’re getting up to; from chewing bark to sneaking round the front to nibble at our Nativity scene, these two are adventurous to say the least.
They’re very friendly and occasionally pop up at our residents windows to say ‘good morning’ and see if there’s any spare toast!
