Activities at The Cedars Bourne Care Home
Our activities team are great at building the activities programme around the likes and interests of the people we care for. Ensuring that our social events offer fun and adventure is part of the ethos of our home; it’s important that those we support can enjoy an active and social lifestyle. Of course, there will always be those who prefer peace and quiet, and in these instances, a cup of tea and a chat are always welcomed.
Helen Hudson
Hello. I’m Helen, the Activities Coordinator at The Cedars. I joined the team in 2021 and I have lots of skills that I can use to create an interesting and varied programme of activities, events and celebrations for residents to enjoy. I am a qualified holistic therapist and offer an holistic approach to activities in the home, I love creating new activities that our residents enjoy, taking residents out on day trips and promoting wellbeing through lots of different activities. When I am not at work I love playing my clarinet, crocheting and art - I use all of these in my role.
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 Cedars Bourne Care Home
Michelle's Petting Party
We are really getting into Easter celebrations here at The Cedars with another visit from our favourite furry friends of Michelle's Petting Party. Our residents really enjoyed seeing the baby and older rabbits, guinea pigs, cat, dog, canary and hamster, and all got a chance to cuddle and feed them. Residents were visited in the Garden Lounge or in their own rooms to make sure that no-one missed these adorable visitors.
Residents lend their ears to live performance
Residents and guests at The Cedars Care Home in Bourne enjoyed an afternoon of music and fun with a live concert performance that took place at the home. Local vintage singer Alan Jackson performed a selection of popular songs from the 1920’s to the 1990’s including Mr Bojangles, The Young Ones and Delilah in the Garden Lounge.
Residents joined in with the singing, and were invited to put in their requests. Resident Janet Hawker was serenaded with ‘Fly Me To The Moon’ on one knee! Guests and residents laughed along with Alan’s wonderful anecdotes and comedic interjections.
