Discover the enriching experiences at the beautiful country house care home, St Ives House

St Ives House, a Care South care home nestled on the edge of the New Forest near Ringwood, is a warm and welcoming residential and dementia care home.

There’s little doubt that keeping active is good for us; it helps us feel more energetic, happier, and stimulated and helps avoid loneliness and isolation. That’s why a rich and varied activities programme is such an important part of care home life.

At the heart of St Ives House is Food, Fun and Friendship, providing hearty, nutritious meals and a wealth of fun activities. A daily activities programme exists to create a mix of fun and engaging activities that appeal to each individual, such as group games, interacting with the community, relaxing during performances from visiting entertainers, and getting out and about on day trips. All activities are also tailored to offer something to those who prefer to be in smaller groups or need one-to-one interactions. The events and activities on offer are all designed to resident’s interests and ensure that they can embrace their golden years.

Recently, residents and staff members took a trip to Stewarts Garden Centre in Broomhill where the green fingered residents enjoyed looking at all the plants on display. The day out was one of the resident’s wishes and the Activities Team were thrilled to help make his wish come true and provide him with what he described as “the perfect day.”

In true Care South style, the day finished with residents enjoying a delicious afternoon tea, with an abundance of Food, Fun and Friendship.

Care South is a not-for-profit charity and leading provider of residential and home care across the south of England. St Ives House boasts 60 welcoming and comfortable, fully furnished rooms. The charmingly furnished communal areas are perfect for relaxing with a cup of tea and a slice of cake or socialising with friends and loved ones. Residents also have full use of the on-site café, hair salon, and well-stocked library, which they are welcome to peruse and enjoy.
