Activites 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.

Senior Activity Coordinator

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!

Hayling bike night

Motorbike fan moment we spent the evening taking the men for a night to remember! We enjoyed joining the famous Hayling Bike Night and it did not disappoint joining hundreds of people from all over the south who join once a week. 

A few of our residents owned bikes all their life and felt like they were back in their community and their biker family hearing the engines roar and admire these amazing machines, we already can’t wait for another night just like this!

Gardening club

We are excited to share with you this session of our gardening club. We planted our seeds a while ago, and now we have sprouts for our veg, it’s time for them to be planted in our sensory courtyard. 

We have planted not only pretty flowers to brighten up the courtyard, but courgettes, tomatoes and many vegetables. We can’t wait to watch it flourish! During our biweekly sessions, we enjoy picking any vegetables that are fully grown and keeping outgrowing veg healthy and watered.

Cheese, wine and jazz night!

This night was an absolute success. We enjoyed a night in our lovely courtyard trying different wines and cheeses whilst listening to the talented Nathalie Gunn, who sang us through some of the greatest jazz and songs throughout the decades! 

We ended the night up on our feet dancing and enjoying the sunset with friends, family and starting the summer perfectly.

Sunflower seeds

It is time for our annual sunflower competition here at Wimborne. All staff and residents love to join in every year and this day was no different. Everyone lined up to pick their special sunflower seed, from a classic sunflower to king sunflowers and some more exotic species. 

Everyone planted their seeds with love, ready to keep watered in the conservatory until they are ready to be planted. Everyone has been keeping a close eye on their little sprouting seed and hoping they can take home the win this year for best looking, the biggest head and tallest sunflower.

80 Years of VE Day!

80 Years of VE Day!

This has got to be the most important day of the year for our residents here at Wimborne. We have many residents that served in the war and others that remember celebrating this day with street parties and hearing Winston Churchill declare Victory in Europe. We didn’t just celebrate with one day, but the whole week, enjoying celebrations out in the community, taking 15 of our residents to the beach to enjoy a live brass band, meeting service men and even getting interviewed by ITV. 

Throughout the week, we headed out to attend our community centre celebrations and a college where we enjoyed a performance by the children. We then finished out the week with a 1940’s BBQ and party with our friends and family in our courtyard with live music, great food and lots of dancing.

Out to sea on the Solent

Now the sun is shining, it is time to head back out to sea! Inspired by our ex-marine engineer, Tim, as well as our resident, Colin, who used to own a boat and was at his happiest when at sea, we decided to get these men back out to sea. We partnered up with the amazing charity Solent Dolphins, who helped make this dream come true. We headed out on our mini-bus to the seaside town of Heath. As we boarded the boat, we enjoyed a gourmet packed lunch from our head chef and headed out to sea. 

We enjoyed seeing all the sights of the Solent, from luxury yachts to black swans. We got to see some wonderful sights and everyone can't wait for the next trip on the water.

Comedy Night

The night finally arrived for a wonderful evening full of laughter with friends, family and colleagues. We were lucky enough to be joined by a group of hilarious comedians hosted by the one and only Marcus! 

The evening couldn’t have been better, with laughter all night, everyone enjoying jokes, music and a few drinks with all our favourite people! Thank you to all the comedians who performed and everyone for supporting our night. We can’t wait for the next one.

Owl Demonstration

Here at Wimborne we have many residents that love all our furry friends, but one particular resident's favourite is Owls. Knowing this, we organised for a prestigious company to come in and bring a variety of these wonderful birds along with a falcon to meet our resident June and all the home. 

Everyone loved learning about these wise owls and met different species, from a barn owl to an African dwarf. Nearing the end of this educational session, we were honoured with a flying demonstration and feeding of the hawk.

Easter Celebrations

Did someone say Easter? This weekend was spent celebrating this religious holiday. Everyone participated in a variety of events throughout the weekend, from chocolate treats to Easter crafts. 

We were visited by our local church that held an Easter service following a traditional lamb roast and simnel cake. We participated in our big Barchester Easter Cake competition and enjoyed reminiscing this afternoon and sharing Easter traditions and stories.
