Activities at The Spires Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
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.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies

Community spirit shines through
Staff and Residents at The Spires Care Home, in Lichfield ushered in the festive season and created some Christmas spirit by inviting the local community, friends and family to join them in a magical Christmas light switch on celebration.
The Christmas tree and all the lights looked amazing when Mayor of Lichfield, Counsellor Ann Hughes, flicked the switch for the big reveal and the home was illuminated to a huge cheer.
To keep everyone warm, the homes culinary team supplied the obligatory mulled wine and mince pies, which went down a real treat.
Childhood and School memories.
Today at The Spires we have enjoyed another reminiscence session all about Childhood and School memories.
We enjoyed talking about our favourite memories including caravan holidays to the beach, our favourite childhood dinners and playing with conkers on the playground.
We also enjoyed playing with a few old toys including the wooden ball and cup which brought back lots of memories.
We have also enjoyed a seated exercise DVD this morning in our cinema room and some ladies enjoyed having their nails done.
National Memorial Arboretum
We have had a fantastic trip out today to The National Memorial Arboretum in Alrewas.
We enjoyed a walk around the Arboretum before enjoying some cake and a hot drink in the cafe. We visited the chapel and then finished off with having a look around the Arboretum shop.

We also enjoyed a visit from our lovely Pet Therapy dog Parker and owner Annie, Parker enjoyed lots of fuss from the residents!
Getting into the festive spirit!
We have had another fantastic day today here at The Spires. The men enjoyed getting together for a tipple in our Gentleman’s Club, we enjoyed a sing along and a chat whilst enjoying a glass of Whisky or Guinness.
We then enjoyed an afternoon outing on our minibus! We first stopped off at our local Dobbies Garden Centre where we enjoyed a look around at all of the Christmas decoration’s and display’s and brought some mince pies for our journey home.
We then stopped off at Lichfield Cathedral where we thoroughly enjoyed listening to the Cathedral Choir rehearse! We enjoyed a look around the beautiful Cathedral before heading back to the minibus to eat our mince pies!
