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
Life at The Spires Care Home
Humpty Dumpty Day Nursery
Residents of The Spires have joined the children at Humpty Dumpty day nursery and Pre-school for an afternoon of Easter crafts. Residents joined in with the children to create a giant Easter Egg for their window display.
The group of residents and children also enjoyed an Easter story together before all sitting down to share some cake.
General Manager, Amy Doyle, said: “We were thrilled to be invited to spend time with the children, and the residents at our home had a lot of fun on the day. Intergenerational activities have such benefits for both the children and our residents and they have all enjoyed spending time together today”
