Activities at Brookfield Care Home
Our Activities coordinator dedicates her time on getting feedback from our residents of what they like to do. We have introduced paper mornings which involves group discussions and an active mind, and we also have a variety of entertainers that come in on a weekly basis. We hold a residents quiz once a week as it is one of our more popular activities, we now call it the Big Quiz due to its popularity.
It is important that we involve the community and family in many of our activities. We have the local rugby club heritage centre coming in once a week to do Bocci (indoor bowls) and seated exercise. We also hold cheese and wine evenings for family and residents which are very popular. Here at Brookfield we pride ourselves on the fabulous bond our activity coordinator has with all our residents as they are as happy to see her each morning as she is to see her friends.

Life at Brookfield Care Home
Summer Sing Along
Joe Cockx, Everyone’s Favourite Grandson has become a firm favourite with residents at Brookfield, this month he brought his Summer Collection, complete with Hawaiian shirt and shorts. Joe filled the room with song and sunshine.
Out For Lunch!
We are very lucky to have a wealth of eateries in Lymm Village, a stones throw from our front door so with improved weather it was decided we’d pop to the pub for a spot of lunch. The gentleman were first in the queue, and enjoyed a pint of the local beer with their meals. Thank you to the staff at The Spread Eagle for making us very welcome.
Residents are Crowned as Domino Masters
Dominoes is a very popular activity at Brookfield, we have more residents joining our club each week and we were delight to crown Helen as our first Dominoes Master to be succeed the following month by Eric. Congratulations to you both.
When a girls gotta shop......
When a girls gotta to shop a girls gotta to shop ..... and it was a delight to share this shopping trip with Marie, who was overjoyed to have a chance to browse the aisles at the local Sainsburys (other supermarkets are available) and treat herself to a bottle of Rose! Cheers Everyone
Football Fun
Residents enjoy a variety of exercise sessions, balloon tennis, armchair Zumba, gentle stretching and a new activity was introduced with ‘Giant Football’ There were some excellent skills on show, residents really enjoyed their ‘kick around’ especially Steve who used to be a professional footballer.
Sing A Long with Sandra
A very simple equation was proved once again: Sandra Currie + good old fashioned sing a long songs = HAPPINESS
Residents enjoyed an afternoon trip down memory lane , singing along to well-known music hall songs, shaking maracas and some very fancy moves on the dance floor, not to mention a photoshoot to finish!
