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
Trick Or Treat?
Children from the local school joined in with our residents for Halloween celebrations. Although it was more treats than tricks!
Bird Land
We had a lovely trip to Bird Land, where the residents really enjoyed seeing all the different types of birds.
Make a Wish
Cherry Trees always aims to make a wish come true. Ann has longed to be taken out for a Sunday dinner and our amazing staff duly obliged to make this a reality. She had a wonderful time.
1940s Themed Open Day
Our visitors, staff and the residents all enjoyed an open day with a difference. 1940s being the theme, we had a visit from the local army barracks and our staff wore outfits to match the era.
Masquerade Ball
Our residents, their family members and our staff thoroughly enjoyed our annual Masquerade Ball. Everyone loved the Harpist as well as the delicious buffet.

We are doing a road trip through the Cotswolds, and our latest stop was Broadway. It was a beautiful place to explore!
