How We Help Residents Feel at Home at Christmas

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.

Carol Singing and Entertainment

We welcome local singers, performers and groups to fill the home with festive music. Carol sessions and sing-alongs are always favourites, lifting spirits and filling the home with seasonal joy.

Supporting Family Connections at Christmas

We understand how important family time is during December. That’s why we offer flexible visiting hours and meaningful opportunities for relatives to join in with activities and celebrations. Anyone wishing to arrange a visit can reach our team through contact.

Family-Friendly Events

Residents can enjoy festive afternoons with loved ones, complete with warm drinks, sweets and entertainment. These gatherings help create shared memories and reassure families that their relatives are surrounded by care and happiness.

Quiet Spaces for One-to-One Time

For families wanting a peaceful moment together, we offer calm, comfortable spaces away from the bustle of group activities.
