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
Community act of Kindness
Staff and residents at Brookfield Care home had a great time spreading the love on World Kindness Day, which was celebrated on 13th November 2020.
Everyone really got into the spirit of things, making lots of kind gestures, such as holding the door open for those behind you, bringing in treats for residents and colleagues. They were also delighted to receive an act of kindness from the children at Kids Planet Nursery who delivered chocolates and colourful pictures for the Residents. Being nice and helping others makes for a much more pleasant environment, no matter where you are and, remember, it doesn’t cost a thing!
