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
Bonfire Night
Residents joined in with the celebrations of Guy Fawkes Night by reminiscing and watching a firework display on the television. Then they enjoyed a traditional Bonfire Night Meal with hot dogs, jacket potatoes beans and cheese and a toffee apple pie. Lastly in the evening residents went out into the garden and let of some sparklers and had nice hot chocolate.
Walking Club
Residents each week venture out for a walk with the activities team down to the local forest to see the wild horses and ponies.
Wine Tasting
Residents got to taste some different wines from different countries and rated them to see what one was the best one. They also had cheese, crackers, grapes and strawberries to go with the wine tasting.
Donkey Sanctuary Visit
Some residents went on a trip in the minibus to visit the Hayling Island Donkey Sanctuary. They really enjoyed it and we are planning to go again next month.
Autumn Handprint
Residents made handprint trees out of different coloured paper. We then put them all together and displayed them on our display board.
Cruise Party
Residents at Wimborne took to the seas and travelled to Italy for the afternoon on the S.S. Wimborne Ship. They showed their boarding passes to Captain Perkins to enjoy a personal photo with the captain. They were then entertained with singing and dancing, then finished off with some Italian nibbles.
