At Springfield and Prinsted Care Homes, we believe that mental wellbeing is just as important as physical health. That is why, during Mental Health Awareness Month this May, and every day of the year, we place a strong focus on keeping minds active through meaningful, stimulating, and above all, enjoyable activities.
Our top priority is the happiness and well-being of our residents. Staying mentally and physically stimulated is not just fun; it is proven to boost mood, improve memory, reduce anxiety, and enhance overall quality of life.
A Dedicated Team Making Every Day Count
Our experienced and passionate Social Care Team – affectionately known as our Activity Coordinators – are the heart of daily life at Springfield. They are here seven days a week, crafting and delivering a rich variety of care home activities to suit every interest, ability, and personality.
Whether you are an art lover, animal enthusiast, quiz champion, or simply enjoy a good cup of tea and conversation, our activity programme for residents has something for everyone.
Choice, Freedom and Fun with Care Home Activities
We encourage all our residents to live as actively and independently as they wish. Whether continuing lifelong hobbies or discovering something new, we support everyone to follow their own wishes and routines.
The daily activity plan might include:
- A morning quiz to get the mind buzzing
- Chair-based exercises to keep the body moving
- Visits from the local Donkey Sanctuary
- Encounters with exotic animals
- Magic shows, arts and crafts, and music afternoons
- Daily news discussions and memory-sharing sessions
And much more, because the possibilities really are endless, and so is the fun.
Celebrating the Joys of May
This month has given us even more reasons to celebrate. Frankie, Head of our Social Care Team, shares:
“This month we have had so much to celebrate, from World Laughter Day to VE Day and World Bee Day. These moments are more than just fun. They are part of how we support each resident’s mental wellbeing. Whether it is through laughter, meaningful conversation, or connecting with nature, our goal is always to create uplifting experiences that make our residents feel valued, engaged, and happy.”
Our themed days offer more than entertainment. They spark conversations, laughter, memories, and companionship.
Enriching Every Day, Together
Whether a resident is here for independent living, assisted living, residential care, or short-term convalescence, our activities are tailored to meet their unique needs and preferences. We believe that every day offers an opportunity for joy, discovery, and friendship.
From the comfort of our homes to the peace of our landscaped gardens and trips to the nearby beach or Emsworth Village, Springfield and Prinsted offer a warm and vibrant environment where every resident can thrive.
At Springfield Care Homes, keeping minds active is not just part of what we do. It is part of who we are.
Because a full life is made up of meaningful moments, and we are here to make every one count.
