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

Lead Activities 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!

Happy Anniversary!

We had a beautiful celebration this month with Margaret and John’s 70th wedding anniversary! What an amazing milestone of love! They celebrated with a romantic lunch, a very special card from The King and of course, a lovely anniversary cake from our talented kitchen team! We wish them many more happy years together!

Double birthday celebrations!

Wimborne celebrated a double whammy of birthdays this month with the wonderful John and Marjorie! They were thrilled with their cards and the delicious Victoria Sponge made by our talented kitchen team! We had a great time celebrating them and we hope they had fabulous birthdays!

Enjoying the Sunshine with furry friends

We took advantage of the first lovely sunshine of the year and ventured into our lovely garden to soak up the sun! And our wonderful furry friend Rufus decided to join us too, giving our residents the chance to walk him around the garden for some fresh air and exercise! Our residents can’t wait for even sunnier days!

Love is in the air at Wimborne

We celebrated Valentine’s Day the only way we know how, with an afternoon of belting out our favourite love songs and indulging in some wonderful chocolate heart cookie decorating (although we much preferred the eating part). Wimborne had a lovely day celebrating Love!

Pizza Night

We had the tasty surprise of a pizza night kindly supplied by Hayling Pizza! Our residents had a great evening tucking in to all the pizza and watching a movie together! What a treat!

Rock & Roll Therapy from Matt O’Neil

We had the fantastic Matt O’Neil come in to entertain our residents this month! His ‘Rock & Roll therapy’ got us all singing our hearts out to our residents favourite songs from their life and dancing around the room! A really brilliant afternoon spent with music that brought all of our residents together.
