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
Southerndown's Scrapbook
Residents at Southerndown have been busy making their very own scrapbook. The process has been good fun and it has brought back lots of memories.
Toddington Railway Station
Making the most of the beautiful spring sunshine, we decided to head off into Gloucestershire and visit the very quaint Toddington Railway Station. What wonderful memories this brought back for all of us!
101st Birthday Celebrations
We recently celebrated the special 101st birthday of resident Doris. Everyone got involved in the spirit o of the celebration, wishing Doris happiness, love and warmth. Everyone enjoyed a singalong and cake afternoon spent with friends and family.
A Drive in the Minibus
We enjoyed a drive around the Cotswolds and stopped off for a coffee and cake break at the Old Shed. We also had time to visit the pets corner. What a lovely way to spend a morning!
Don't Dine Alone
We were joined by John, who came in for some lunch as part of our 'Don't Dine Alone' initiative. It was a pleasure meeting him!
Creative Mojo
We had a wonderful art session with Creative Mojo. Our aim of the day was to paint flowers to make into a lovely bouquet. What a relaxing way to spend a morning!
