Care home Christmas care, making our residents feel at home
Christmas is a special time of year, but it can also feel emotional for residents who are away from their familiar home environment or missing loved ones. At Springfield Care Homes, we understand how important comfort, connection and festive warmth are during the holiday season. That’s why our team works thoughtfully and creatively to make Christmas feel magical, meaningful and truly homely for every resident. If you’d like to learn more about our values and approach, you can read more within about us.
From personalised decorations to cosy lounges, thoughtful activities and plenty of opportunities for family time, we focus on creating an atmosphere filled with joy, comfort and togetherness. Our aim is simple: to ensure every resident enjoys the best Christmas holiday possible. You can also explore life inside our Emsworth and Prinsted homes through our homes.
Creating a Homely Christmas Atmosphere
Christmas is all about surroundings that feel warm, familiar and welcoming. We pay close attention to the small details that help residents feel grounded and at home.
Personalised Decorating
Each resident can choose how their bedroom is decorated for Christmas, from adding festive decorations to choosing their favourite ornaments. Personal touches help maintain a sense of identity and belonging, and many residents enjoy reminiscing about traditions while decorating.
Festive Lounge Spaces
Our lounges are transformed into cosy, inviting areas with glowing trees, winter floral arrangements, soft lighting and comfortable seating for relaxed gatherings. These spaces help bring residents together and encourage companionship throughout the season.
Choosing the Tree Theme
Every year, residents help our team choose a Christmas tree theme. Whether it’s classic red and gold, winter woodland or something modern and sparkly, residents enjoy shaping the look and feel of their shared home.
Thoughtful Activities for a Joyful December
Our Christmas calendar is filled with meaningful, heartwarming activities designed to bring moments of fun, comfort and connection. You can keep up with upcoming activities in our news and events updates.
Homemade Treats and Festive Baking
Residents can join in with seasonal baking sessions featuring mince pies, ginger biscuits, spiced cakes and more. The smell of homemade Christmas treats drifting through the home brings instant nostalgia and warmth.
Crafting and Keepsakes
We offer opportunities for residents to create decorations, cards and gifts. These sessions support creativity and dexterity and often spark lovely conversations about past Christmas memories.
