Activities at Saxonwood

Making memories and creating special sunny moments is something we love to do.

Making memories and creating special sunny moments is something we love to do.

We are passionate about creating moments with our residents that will brighten their day – we call this our sunny moments club.

We spend time getting to know each individual and our dedicated activity co-ordinators create an ever-changing programme full of activities and fun things to do, giving residents the chance to do what they love best, or explore new experiences or talents. Sunny moments are created with our dedicated activities co-ordinator and can involve individual or group activities, friends, family and the local community.

We arrange everything from crafts, quizzes and armchair aerobics to food tasting, movie afternoons and community choirs – just to name a few. Sometimes sunny moments are those moments we take to relax and reflect. We have quieter times to chat with a friend, share our most vivid memories or perhaps enjoy a stroll around the garden.

Sporting moments are sunny moments – there really is something for everyone. We enjoy cheerleading, ball games, hoopla, indoor golf or simply reminiscing about a favourite sport!

When you wish upon a star

Most of our care homes have a wish tree and it’s a special sunny moment when we make a wish come true. We love it when our residents dream big and we get to see their face light up when their wish is our command.

“We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” George Shaw
