Activities at Cherry Trees Care Home
Our activities team are constantly striving to mentally and physically stimulate those we support by organising group and individual social events for anyone and everyone to participate in. There are regular outings in the minibus to nearby places of interest, including the local theatre, as well as visits from Pat dogs, musicians and entertainers. We also host bingo, quiz and knitter natter afternoons that we encourage relatives and the local community to attend. Our Gentleman's Club is also open to non-residents every Thursday afternoon from 2:30pm, join us for a tipple of your choice, we have plenty of snacks and chats. For the ladies, our beauty salon provides; hairdressing and nail pampering, you too can enjoy a drink and some well-deserved 'me' time. Activities are one of the most important aspects of a care home, so it is essential that our team are dedicated to ensuring that residents are entertained, and that life at Cherry Trees is fun and active.

Life at Cherry Trees Care Home
Flower Arranging and Show
Our residents enjoyed the blooms within the grounds of Cherry Trees care home by staging their own flower show, as others have been cancelled due to the pandemic.
We had a good look around our gardens and pick various flowers. As the weather wasn’t good we came inside and the lovely Gemma, a nurse on Memory Lane took time to help the group create beautiful flower arrangements for display. Gemma went through each type of flower explaining the variety which our residents enjoyed very much. We've decided to make it a regular event; it’s now on the activities calendar for every 2nd month of the year.
National Chocolate Day
The celebrations for National Chocolate Day started with our residents making chocolate muffins, while they cooked we had a cuppa and a little quiz. Chef incorporated a chocolate fountain into the days menu including crepes. The chocolate muffins went on the tea trolley in the morning and afternoon for all to enjoy.
Outdoor Activities
Our residents enjoyed some fun in the fun when our weekly arts & craft session moved outside to the sun-trap courtyard. Several residents enjoyed decorating stones for #Alcesterstones while others just relaxed in the beautiful weather, chilling in the garden room and on sun-drenched terrace.
Armed Forces Day
The staff and management team at Cherry Trees care home took time to salute our wonderful armed forces on 27th June 2020. The whole home got involved in the national #saluteourforces campaign.
Family Reunions
For a number of residents the long awaited reunion with family and friends became a reality as limited garden visits have now been allowed to commence in our home.
Residents and their relatives enjoyed getting together in the our beautiful garden with the sun shining for us all. Bottled water and ice-lollies were handed out to keep everyone cool and hydrated. It's a real pleasure to be able to facilitate such wonderful get-togethers.
Nails for all occasions
Our Activities coordinator Jo Anne treated our lovely ladies to a nail parlour pamper session within the home today. Even Gregg from maintenance couldn't resist getting involved!
