A warm welcome to 2026, and wishing you a happy and healthy New Year from all of us here at Springfield Care Homes.
Winter can be one of the most meaningful seasons in our homes. As the days grow colder, Springfield Care Home in Emsworth and Prinsted Care Home in Prinsted focus on creating warm, uplifting and nurturing environments where every resident feels supported, engaged and at ease.
Our approach to winter wellness goes far beyond keeping everyone warm. It is about wellbeing, companionship and ensuring every day feels full of comfort and joy.
From cosy lounges and residential care support to nutritious home cooked meals, gentle activities and compassionate, individualised care, everything we do is designed to help our residents live their very best lives throughout the winter months.
Supporting Wellbeing Through the Winter Season
Winter can bring challenges, especially for older adults, but it also provides opportunities to create connection, routine and meaningful moments. At Springfield and Prinsted Care Homes, we focus on shaping each day around warmth, comfort and positive experiences.
We take great care in ensuring every resident enjoys a season that feels safe, personalised and gently enriching, whether they are receiving residential care, nursing care or independent living support.
The Benefits of Our Winter Wellness Approach
Warm, Inviting Spaces to Relax and Socialise
Our lounges are designed to feel homely and comforting, offering residents a warm place to relax, chat and enjoy winter activities. Whether settling in with a favourite book, joining a group activity or simply enjoying the cosy surroundings, we make sure everyone feels comfortable and welcome.
Gentle Exercise and Wellbeing Activities
Maintaining mobility and wellbeing during winter is important. We offer a variety of gentle exercise opportunities and wellbeing activities that encourage movement, improve balance and uplift mood. Each session is tailored to individual needs so residents can take part at a pace that suits them.
Fresh, Nutritious Home Cooked Meals
Good nutrition plays a vital role in winter wellness. Our kitchen teams prepare fresh, nutritious meals daily using carefully selected ingredients. From hearty soups and warming dishes to balanced meals full of flavour, residents enjoy food that supports wellbeing and comfort throughout the season.
Compassionate, Personalised Care
At the heart of everything we do is kindness. Our experienced teams provide thoughtful, individualised care that supports both physical and emotional wellbeing. Winter can feel different for everyone, so we take time to understand what each resident needs to feel settled, valued and engaged.
Meaningful Daily Activities
Winter is a wonderful time for creative projects, seasonal crafts, music sessions and opportunities to connect with others. Our activities programmes are designed to keep residents active, stimulated and socially connected throughout the colder months.
A Season Filled with Comfort and Joy
We believe winter can be a truly positive and comforting time in our homes. With warm spaces, nutritious meals, engaging activities and compassionate care, Springfield and Prinsted Care Homes create environments where residents can thrive, stay connected and enjoy each day to the fullest.
