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.

Ice cream and sunshine
At The Cedars Bourne our residents have been enjoying Cornettos in the sunshine, looking across our beautiful garden with its river and fountain.
Enjoying National Yoga Day
We enjoyed an afternoon of bending and stretching at The Cedars Bourne to mark National Yoga Day. Residents loved it so much we have being trying some one-to-one seated yoga sessions since then. As well as a few simple moves we also learned the benefits of yoga in reducing stress, easing pain and improving posture.
