Activities at Bluebell Park Care Home
Here at Bluebell Park our aim is to enrich the lives of our residents, through group, and individual activities.
We have a wide range of activities designed to mentally, and physically stimulate the people we care for, including regular trips out in the mini bus, and taking part in the community led events that happen in the village we live in. We hold monthly resident meetings so our planning reflects their wishes, and requests, for example we now hold a regular bingo club (which residents families love to attend) and a bowling afternoon which the gentlemen here particularly enjoy. Entertainers and musicians regularly come into the home and families and friends are always welcome to attend too.
Activities are one of the most important aspects of our care home, and we strive to have a full range on offer. Our team here at Bluebell are dedicated to ensuring our residents enjoy, and get as much out of our entertainment as possible. It is without a doubt our mission is to make sure that life at Bluebell is active, fun, and most of all happy.
Leanne Lowe
Hello. My name is Leanne Lowe and I am the Activity Coordinator for Bluebell Park.
I have worked for Barchester for 6 years as a Carer and I have now made the move to Activities.
During my time here I have built lovely friendships and knowledge of our residents . I aim to offer a range of varied and tailored activities and group sessions that are meaningful to each of our residents. I am thrilled to be supporting the whole team at Bluebell Park in delivering fun, engaging and interesting activities for our residents. We also have a minibus which is used weekly to take residents out to cafes, local beauty spots and day trips.

Life at Bluebell Park Care Home
All Around the Shire
Residents at Bluebell were entertained by All Around the Shire, who brought in quirky and interesting artefacts for them to hold. Everyone really enjoyed discussing the items and having a sing along to the likes of 'Run Rabbit Run'!
Valentine's Card Making
Residents have been making Valentine's cards,ready for the special day. We have a lovely lunch planned, which will be followed by some live entertainment, accompanied by Buck's Fizz and plenty of chocolate.
Pizza Joy
Residents spent the afternoon making their own French bread pizzas. We had lots of different toppings and we cooked the pizzas in the kitchen area so the lovely aroma filled the dining room.
Burns Night
In celebration of Burns Night, residents and families participated in a special quiz whilst sampling whiskey and Dundee Cake.
We are now 10-60-06 accredited!
Bluebell has achieved accreditation for a new standard of dementia care, which was developed by dementia care specialists at Barchester.
The 10-60-06 dementia programme will replace Barchester's current dementia care programme in order to ensure that the care services provided by our Memory Lane communities for people living with dementia are the best in the sector.
Pantomime Fun
Bluebell Park was pleased to welcome 'Dally about the Bush' and their version of Rapunzel. The residents were encouraged to join in and sing along with the production.
This was a fantastic afternoon and a good opportunity to eat and drink some of the festive treats that were left from the Christmas festivities.
