Happy birthday, Cynthia and Geoff!
Last week, we had the pleasure of celebrating the birthdays of our wonderful residents, Cynthia and Geoff!
It was a lovely occasion filled with smiles, laughter, delicious birthday cake, and great company. Seeing everyone come together to celebrate made the day even more special.
Happy birthday, Cynthia and Geoff! We hope your year ahead is filled with happiness, good health, and many wonderful memories.
At Glebefields Care home we celebrate birthdays not just as a mark of ageing another year but as a celebration of life, achievements, and personal growth. It's a time for reflection, gratitude, and looking forward to future possibilities. Birthdays provide a special opportunity for us to help residents to gather with loved ones and create lasting memories.
A delightful day out at Barn Farm Plants Garden Centre, Wardington!
Our residents had a wonderful visit to Barn Farm Plants Garden Centre in Wardington, Banbury, where they enjoyed exploring the beautiful displays of flowers and plants in a peaceful countryside setting.
The highlight of the visit was relaxing together over delicious tea, cakes, and cappuccinos, sharing laughter, conversations, and making happy memories about own gardens back then. It was wonderful to hear from Beryl how much her husband contributed for her garden back then and still a lot of memories
It was the perfect opportunity to enjoy each other’s company while soaking up the lovely atmosphere.
A huge thank you to the team at Barn Farm Plants Garden Centre for their warm hospitality. We all had a fantastic time and can’t wait to visit again!
Sparkle for our 3 year Anniversary
Miss Balloonatron Brought Magic to Collingtree Park
Primary Pupils Bring Sunshine and Song to Collingtree Park
In mid-July, we proudly welcomed the wonderful children from Collingtree CE Primary School, who kindly came to sing for our delighted residents. Their truly beautiful musical performances brought immense joy, bright smiles, and pure happiness to everyone in attendance. Afterwards, the talented children thoroughly enjoyed a lovely lunch with us, giving us a perfect opportunity to wish all the Year 6 pupils the absolute best as they begin their next exciting academic chapter. We know you will all achieve truly amazing things! We already look forward to welcoming Collingtree CE Primary School back this coming September after the busy summer holidays, as another fresh chapter begins for everyone. Have a truly fantastic six-week summer break, Collingtree Primary—enjoy every single sunny moment!
July Fitness Fun
During this bright month of July, our amazing residents had a truly fantastic time during their lively fitness session, focusing closely on developing essential hand-eye coordination skills. These fun, engaging physical activities help greatly to improve coordination, mental concentration, and overall joint mobility while simultaneously bringing plenty of bright smiles and shared laughter directly to the room. It is always wonderful to see absolutely everyone getting fully involved, warmly encouraging one another, and thoroughly enjoying themselves together in a highly supportive group environment. We want to say a massive well done to all our brilliant residents for completing another exceptionally great, energetic morning workout session recently! Your incredible energy, stamina, and positive attitudes make these wonderful active exercises a total spectacular highlight for our entire care community.
