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.
Read our brochure 'Life-enriching activities' for more information about life in our care homes.

Life at Bloomfield Care Centre
Balloon Modelling
Residents here at Bloomfield enjoyed learning how to create different flowers, animals and objects out of balloons. It was a great afternoon and it was especially fun watching the expert in action creating these wonderful objects!
A Fond Farewell
Sue, who worked in the laundry department at Bloomfield, has retired after 19 years. We wish her all the best in her retirement.
Children in Need 2017
At Bloomfield, we celebrated Children in Need with a cake sale, a raffle and a mufti day for staff!
Remembrance Day
Residents created these handmade ceramic poppies for Remembrance Day. We then had a poppy picnic and carried out a 2 minutes silence in remembrance for all who have fought and lost their lives in combat throughout the years.
Barchester's 25th Anniversary
Here at Bloomfield, we decided to celebrate Barchester’s 25th birthday by inviting the locals into the home with their stalls to sell their produce. We had Christmas decorations, house furnishings, Younique make-up, handmade jewellery, greeting card stands and more.
Macmillan Coffee Morning
We would like to say thank you to all residents, staff and family members for getting involved with our Macmillan Coffee Morning and helping us to raise £140.85!
