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
Musical Morning at Southerndown
We had a delightful musical morning here at Southerndown Care Home, filled with our favourite songs from the golden days.
The melodies of beloved artists like Tom Jones filled the air, bringing joy and nostalgia to everyone present.
As the tunes played,we were reminded of our younger days, when we first heard these iconic songs on the radio and bought the records that we still cherish today.
It was a heartwarming experience that allowed us to reminisce about those special moments in our lives
Lucias Tiny Farm
We were so luck to have a delightful visit from Lucia’s Tiny Farm!
Lucia brought along her beautiful dog Coco, as well as rabbits, guinea pigs, a chicken, a tortoise, and Bernie the bearded dragon.
It was a wonderfully relaxed and contented afternoon, filled with petting animals and reminiscing about the good old days on farm and our own pets from years gone by.
Pet therapy really is amazing and a sight to behold
Wimbledon Fever Starts!
Wimbledon fever has started at Southerndown as we set up our own centre court to take in the action whilst having a game ourselves. Balloon tennis was the key match of the afternoon, followed by tradtional afternoon tea with strawberries and cream!
