Activities at The Spires 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.
Angie Smith
Hi, my name is Angie and I am an activities coordinator here at The Spires. We all know that keeping active is important. We have created a wonderful culture within the home and we work together to give residents the best possible experience. We are here to ensure that residents enjoy an environment that is both stimulating and socially active.
We ensure the team knows each residents' preferences, so that we can deliver a person-centered program of events and activities. Essential to our homely feel is the strong relationships of trust we build with residents and their families and friends.

Life at The Spires Care Home
Christmas Party
Residents and loved ones enjoyed our Christmas party carol service and quiz afternoon. We were also joined by volunteers from the local Co=op, who helped to pour punch for residents and guests.
Our Special Guests
6th form pupils came in to meet with Jason, one of our National Dementia Specialists for an insight into the condition. They also had the opportunity to see our home and meet the residents.
Carol Service
St Chad’s Church lead our first carol service of the festive season. Residents & families joined us and the singing could even be heard on the ground floor!
The Spires at Christmas
The team have decorated the reception area to give a very festive welcome to all visitors.
A History of Lichfield
John Gallagher from Co-op's head office came in as a volunteer and spent time with residents sharing stories and memories of the history of Lichfield. John brought along his laptop and showed off lots of photographs and memorabilia to spark conversation.
Christmas Creations
The Spires has sponsored a Christmas tree for charity at Lichfield Cathedral. Residents, with the help of volunteers, have been making the decorations for the tree, and some residents braved the cold weather to go to decorate the tree.
There are many trees that will be decorated by local groups and businesses, and these will be open for the local community to view and place their votes for the best over the coming few weeks leading up to Christmas.
We decided to go for bright and cheerful, with many colours and lots of glitter & sparkle.
