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
Life at Wimborne Care Home
Christmas Party Festivities
Christmas here at Wimborne means it's time to pop some prosecco and have a party.
It is important for all our residents to be able to invite all their friends and family to celebrate with them like they would in their own home.
We were a full house here in our dining room with family, friends, staff and residents enjoying a Christmas quiz, jumper competition and carols performed by the Wonderful Wimborne Staff.
Memory Choir Get Together
We have been part of the infamous ‘Memory Choir’ for over a year now and is a highlight of the month when we do our practice every month.
Everyone loves being part of a choir that makes a difference. Every year, all the choirs from around the south come together to bring some yuletide spirit to the local community.
We enjoyed singing all our favourite tunes all together, then enjoying mulled wine, minced pies and handmade sandwiches.
Church Choir Visit
The church has always been a big part of life here at Wimborne and even more important over the Christmas period.
We were honoured to have the church choir visiting us with classic hymns to sing to and, of course, joined in a service of prayer. The choir from our local church are so lovely and friendly.
Our residents here not only enjoy their performances but also having a social afternoon with everyone, which included tea and homemade cake that got us into the yuletide spirit.
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!
