Activities at Bloomfield Care Centre
We host a wide range of activities and events here for residents to stimulate them both physically and mentally. Relatives can often be found taking part; for example, they will some times join us on minibus trips and to enjoy entertainers and musical events. There is regular involvement from the local community, with ministers holding services for us weekly, visits from our PAT dog, and a good volunteer network. Additionally, we have recently opened a Dementia Café, which is held on the fourth Tuesday of every month. Activities are an essential part of residents' lives, so we strive to keep them active with a focus on what they can achieve and that life here is fun.
Cathy Jallow
Hello, My name is Cathy and I am the Activities Coordinator at Bloomfield care centre.
I joined the team here at Bloomfield in August 2017 as carer and have since moved into Activities.
The Activities role is varied and one which allows me to plan amazing activities for our residents to ensure their days are filled with lots of fun, laughter and social interaction.
I am always looking for new activity ideas as well as new places to visit, so please give me a call to discuss our life enrichment programme further.

Life at Bloomfield Care Centre
Crafty Times
Our residents got together to make sun catchers using vibrant colourful flowers. The beautiful sun catchers really brightened up our home and cheered up all of the residents.
Tortoises come to visit
At Bloomfields a few of our staff members brought in their pet tortoises in for the residents to see. When Dorris was at home she had a pet turtle, it was so lovely to see the joy on her face.
Gardening Club
Our resident Molly Brayley, likes to continue gardening so we do weekly gardening club and this week we planted tomatoes just like she did when she was at home.
Pamper Session
A resident at the home used to have her nails done by her daughter every week. To keep this lovely tradition going, our team ensures the resident enjoys a pamper and manicure session once a week at Bloomfield too.
Knit and Natter
Some of our residents have organised a Knit and Natter club, where they can enjoy knitting or crocheting together while having a chat and refreshments.
Mini Mannequins
Here at Bloomfield Care Centre, we encourage the residents to reminiscence about their past experiences and all the things they loved doing.
Recently, based on residents' wishes, we had a discussion about fashion and the Swinging Sixties and got involved in an interesting activity with mini mannequins. The ladies had such a fun afternoon.
