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

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!

Life at Wimborne Care Home

Wimborne Celebrates Valentine’s Day

The lead up to Valentine’s Day was busy with craft items being made including red woollen hearts to hang on our themed events tree.

The residents participated in a valentine themed quiz and musical reminiscing and then a fun game of ping ball where they won prizes and made wishes on golden stars

This was followed by a lovely social evening with a selection of cheese & biscuits along with a glass of fizz.

Afternoon Tea

Here at Wimborne we held the first of our monthly tea parties where the Hayling community is invited to join us in our conservatory. We put out our best chins and our chef made some delicious scones with jam and cream, which were enjoyed by everyone.

Beauty and the Beast Pantomime

Here at Wimborne on Saturday evening we all enjoyed the pantomime Beauty and the Beast. The performers interacted with our residents by giving light hand held instruments and parts of the songs in which to play them. Everyone enjoyed the banter from the performers and the amazing costumes.

Christmas Crafts

Wimborne residents enjoyed  an afternoon of producing beautiful center pieces for their dining tables for the festive season. Great enjoyment was had in creating them and also having others admire them over the Christmas period.

Christmas Fayre

On the 6th of December we held our annual Christmas fayre. Local handmade craft items were on sale along with a stall specially set up for our residents. This stall was created with donations from staff and families so that residents could enjoy doing a bit of Christmas shopping without the worry of cost. 

Residents, families, staff and friends joined us  for the morning whilst enjoying hot chocolate or mulled wine and  tasty festive treats.

Special Birthday Celebrations

This month Wimborne celebrated the 109th birthday of one of our residents. Staff and residents joined Muriel and family for an afternoon of tea and birthday cake whilst Muriel enjoyed her favourite tipple, a glass of sherry which her family believe has helped her get to the grand age of 109.
