Activities at Wimborne 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.
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!

Life at Wimborne Care Home
Carers Keep on Caring
Carer’s week is a memorable and significant week for all our carers.
The week is dedicated to show how much we appreciate and value every member of the team.
Our carers look after all of our residents with such passion, patience, dedication and this week is to say thank you.
However, we went a little further at Wimborne where we served the care team lunch so they could enjoy and relax while the General Manager and Heads of Departments formed part of the hospitality team and gave the residents their meals at lunch, whilst the carers could enjoy the time with them, catch up on all the gossip and rest their feet for a short while!
D-Day Celebrations - A Royal Affair
Here at Wimborne we are immensely proud to have had the honour to celebrate our wonderful resident Bob, who at 99 years young, was part of the D-Day landings 80 years ago.
Bob and the team met with His Majesty King Charles III and Queen Camilla and had a wonderful chat with HRH Prince William.
Without Bob and the many other comrades and their friends who gave their lives, we wouldn't have the freedom and choices we do now.
A day never to be forgotten 80 years ago and a day we will not forget with Bob for years to come.
Thank you Bob, thank you All.
Sweet Treat with Wimborne
Our General manager Sarah made some pit stops in the local community and surrounding area to deliver fresh cupcakes and say thank you for the support at Wimborne Care Home.
Wilson Wakefield Solicitors were very thankful for the delicious cupcakes, let's hope they were shared!
Queen Alexandra and St Marys Hospital in Portsmouth were ready with their cuppa to enjoy the sweet treats.
Community services are vital to the health and wellbeing to all our residents and beyond!
Mexican Day Celebrations
Andele, Andele its Mexican fiesta time!!! We celebrated this day with all this Mexican. We enjoyed a Mexican themed cuisine designed and created by our head chef Hayden before a fiesta fit for Mexico. We hand shook our classic margaritas, danced and sang our way through the afternoon enjoying mariachi music and a little treat of chips, salsa and guacamole. For many of our residents trying this cuisine was a first and they already can’t wait for another day of Mexican celebrations and food.
VE Day Afternoon Tea
To many of our residents VE day is such a strong memory. This was a day to go down in history and to be celebrated each and every year. Many residents enjoy telling their stories of street parties with union jacks everywhere. We enjoyed a classic English afternoon tea with fingers sandwiches and scones while we reminisced with VE day pictures and stories of heroes throughout that time. We all later enjoyed singing War time tune classics such a songs by Vera Lynn and waved out flags in celebration.
Celebrating 200 years of Cadbury
Who doesn’t love chocolate? When you think of chocolate the first name that comes into your mind it Cadburys. Here at Wimborne we joined an exciting live virtual event with chocolate giant Cadbury to hear about their incredible 200 year history, had a Cadbury themed quiz and took a trip down memory lane to reminiscence on some of the nation’s most loved chocolate during Dementia Action Week. We enjoyed hot chocolate, chocolate milkshakes and lots of variety of Cadbury chocolate treats. It was a dream day for all us chocoholics.
