Celebrating life at Barchester

You can't beat a morning of class, conversation and a little crooning. 

Daniel Brewerton treated our home to another wonderful live performance "Live from New York"  filled with timeless tunes to get us toe-tapping and singing along to our favourites!

Celebrating National Pizza day is just one fun way that our Activities Team incorporate and build fun into the daily life of the Residents at Hilton Park.

Our Activities Co-ordinator decided to go one step further and create an in home trip to Italy. Passports were issued and our Residents enjoyed a trip to Italy to experience a fresh fruit breakfast followed by a lunch of delicious Italian themed treats and Pizza.

By taking regular feedback and requests from our residents we can enhance our life enrichment program to suit the interests of the residents.

At Hilton Park we support and encourage our residents to continue doing the things they love whilst also making new friends. We hold regular activities that help or residents use cognitive and motor skills to provide holistic benefits that enhance the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of residents.

Our Residents enjoyed making some gifts ready for this coming Valentine's Day including floral displays and creating personalised cards.

Our Activities team always plan activities in line with current calendar events.

We decided that after all this wet weather recently, our residents deserved to feel their best. So we got to work in hosting a calming spa afternoon, complete with foot packs, face masks - and not to mention, a glass or two of fizz!

There is nothing quite like a change of scenery and a warm welcome! Our residents had a wonderful morning out at the monthly Drayton Village Hall Community Coffee Morning.

It was a delight to step out into the heart of the village and soak up such a friendly, welcoming environment. Our residents loved the chance to engage with friends old and new from beyond the home, sharing stories over plenty of tea and delicious biscuits.

Building these local links is so important to us, and the lively chatter and smiles certainly showed how much everyone enjoyed being part of the village buzz!

A huge thank you to the organisers at Drayton Village Hall for having us we already can’t wait for next month! 
 

The mouth-watering aroma of melting cheese and Italian herbs filled the air as residents and staff joined forces to celebrate National Pizza Day.

In a true team effort, the home’s talented Chef and the Life Enrichment activities team hosted an interactive "Pizza Party," inviting residents to become chefs for the afternoon. From kneading the dough to spreading rich tomato sauce, the dining room was a hive of activity and laughter.

Residents were treated to a colourful array of fresh toppings, ranging from classic chicken and peppers to the more controversial pineapple, sparking a lively "Hawaiian" debate among the amateur pizzaiolos! Once the bespoke creations were prepped, the Chef took over the baking duties, returning them bubbling and golden.  The afternoon concluded with a communal tasting session that received a unanimous "big thumbs up" from everyone involved.

Benazir, General Manager shared "National Pizza Day was the perfect excuse to get everyone together for some sensory fun. It wasn't just about the tasty bites; it was about the social chatter and the joy of creating something from scratch. Our Chef did a brilliant job, and seeing the residents so engaged and happy is exactly what life at Glebefields is all about."
