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.

Trip to High Legh Garden Centre
Getting into the festive spirit with a trip to High Legh Garden centre! Resident Eliza loved seeing the singing Reindeer and sang along with them with her elf hat on!
A spot of retail therapy!
Residents recently enjoyed a trip to their nearby Matalan store where new Resident, Alfred headed straight to the men's section to add to his winter wardrobe.
After browsing the aisles we stopped for a cuppa and a delicious bacon butty! Back at Brookfield, Alfred was excited to try on his new clothes and show his style to his new friends!
