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
Saxophone and Canape night
Our big evening event for this month was a night full of fabulous music and indulgent food. We were joined by the talented Hannah as she used her skilled fingers to play multiple tunes on the saxophone and take us through many different decades with songs. Our head chef Hayden prepared some delicious canapes from vol-au-vent’s to devils eggs and topping of the night with a lovely glass of wine or two. We were joined by many of our family members and friends as well as some new people from the community to come along and enjoy this special night.

Valentines Day
We had a day full of love, first of with a visit from our therapy dog Rufus to spread the love, following a special valentines lunch and enjoyed an afternoon of love songs! Our Manager, Sarah shared the love by giving out chocolates to our staff and residents, but the highlight of the day was residents and staff sharing their secret to a long lasting relationship!
Valentines Trail

We have been all morning putting out roses. If you are lucky enough to find one just bring it along to us and collect your prize! We can’t wait to see you
Beach Trip
The sun is shining so we have to head on out to the beach! We are so lucky to live right by the sea so we made our way to the beach and enjoyed a rich velvety hot chocolate from Pebble Beach Coffee Shop and we were even greeted by some lovely local puppies.
