January 2026 Activities Plan
At Somerforde, we believe that staying active is key to well-being, but we also respect that "active" looks different for everyone. Our January Activities Plan is designed to offer a rich variety of choices, ensuring our residents are as involved as they want to be.
A Month of Entertainment & Creativity
We kicked off the New Year with a focus on connection and creativity. Our January diary includes a diverse range of physical, social, and sensory experiences:
Live Music & Performance: We are hosting a variety of talented performers this month, including Luc the Harpist, Jerry the Singer, and Phil the Singer.
Creative Arts: Residents can express themselves through jewelry making, clay modeling, self-portraits, and even a "Tattoo Parlour" session for some fun, temporary body art.
Physical & Nature Well-being: We stay moving with "Exercise Man" sessions and embrace the outdoors with winter walks, trips to the local café, and participation in the Big Garden Bird Watch.
Social Traditions: From our Burns Night supper and quiz to cheese and wine afternoons, we make sure there are plenty of opportunities for our "bigger family" to come together and celebrate.
Resident-Led Choice
Every activity on our calendar, from the competitive rounds of Bingo to the quiet focus of flower and herb planting is a result of listening to our residents. We don't just fill time; we create moments that help our residents feel happy, contented, and fulfilled.
