Special Features
Woburn Home itself has been built for many years and the outside remains mostly unaltered. Our new gardener has worked hard on modernising our garden to be more user friendly. We encourage our rest home residents to stay active. There are regular morning exercises and other activities to encourage wellbeing and follow the "use it or lose it" theory. Woburn has its own minibus and the activities staff organise outings to all sorts of interesting places. We have a small but active group of volunteers who help us out when needed. On Fridays, everyone enjoys their afternoon Happy Hour with lots of singing and dancing, accompanied by a glass of wine, beer or soft beverage. In our dementia section we have a wonderful spa bath. Residents in the rest home can share it by booking ahead. This is a fairly new initiative but has been welcomed and thoroughly enjoyed by those who have used it. |

Interests & Activities
We encourage residents to join in the activities such as crafts, music, games and reading. We tailor activities to suit residents needs and abilities, making sure to involve everyone in something they enjoy. One-on-one care, such as a hand-massage, is also warmly appreciated by those who are feeling a bit down. With our big TV in the lounge some good old films can be enjoyed on a movie afternoon. |
