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.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Brookfield Care Home
Easter colouring competition
Residents of Brookfield enjoyed a colourful colouring competition as part of the homes Easter celebrations. Our residents showcased their talents and enjoyed an afternoon of creativity and fun. Our arts and craft sessions are a popular group activity here at the home and a firm fixture in our varied life enrichment programme.
Residents enjoy a live performance
April showers didn’t get the better of us as we enjoyed a fun filled afternoon and welcomed popular vocalist, Janet for a live performance. Our residents enjoy her performances and everyone joins in singing, dancing and toe-tapping along. There was lots of laughter to be heard throughout the home and we even enjoyed a glass of bubbles too!
Sound of Music
We love the sound of music here at Brookfield! Our residents enjoy singing and we have regular singing sessions with Activities Coordinator, Suzanne. Residents love choosing their favourite song and we may have a solo as ‘music lifts the soul’.
Easter egg hunt
Staff and residents at Barchester’s Brookfield care home have been having fantastic fun hiding Easter eggs all over the place in Lymm for residents and families to find.
General Manager, Sarah Nolan said: “We’ve all had such fun first of all hiding the Easter eggs and then watching our residents and families hunt for them throughout the home and garden!”
