Activities at Wimborne 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.
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.
Zoe Freeman
I have been working in care since 2019 and love the industry. I came from working on cruise ships and running events and activities there which has set me up to be a successful activities coordinator in care. You will never see me without a smile on my face and always bring my fun and bubbly personality to my job. My favourite part of my job is making people cheerful and help make their wishes come true to show people that age is just a number and we can have fun no matter what!
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

Bob's 100th Birthday!
Pub Visit
What else to do on a rainy day other than head out on our mini bus to the pub with our maintenance man Gary Washbrook and activities coordinator Zoe Freeman
No mater what the weather it doesn’t stop us here at Wimborne going out for the day so we headed over to Ferryboat Inn Sinah Beach got ourself a cosy spot by the window to look at the sea and over to southsea! All the men shared stories over a pint or two reminiscing of the good old days!
Remembering Those Who Fought...
We celebrated and marked Remembrance Day at Wimborne, with a trip to Fort Nelson Royal Armouries Museum. Our residents were part of talk on the history of the day and how it changed the landscape.
We then had the pleasure of watching a parade and all of our residents were front row so they had the best seats!
Spooky Wimborne...
We don't need an excuse here at Wimborne to get creative, even better in the spooky season too.
There is nothing frightening about our residents, luckily the spooky season is another chance to have fun and bring the home together.
We think our pumpkin carvers did an amazing job and everyone who did so, had so much fun!
You ain't nothing but a Hound Dog...
Our resident pet therapy dog Rufus made a pooch stop to see our residents and no doubt take part in some tummy rubs and tickles.
Rufus ensures that he is the centre of attention with his posing, paws and smiles and each and every one of our residents get to spend a bit of time with him.
He is a show stopping dog, with such a wonderful charm and really lights up the home - he even knows how to work every angle of the camera being so photogenic.
It really is a dogs (Rufus) life!
FOUR!
FOUR!
Some of our residents took to the driving range to practice their swing and teeing off at the local golf course on Hayling Island.
We had such a great time learning how to tee off again, aiming for the targets and secretly competing for who can manage the longest range.
Golf is such a skilled game and our residents were able to showcase those talents with their incredible shots, all whilst smiling and having a brilliant time!
