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
Downtown
Residents enjoyed a trip out to a coffee shop in Alcester and loved the sunshine!
For the Love of Music
Residents had a great time singing along and playing musical instruments along with wonderful singer, Becky Marshalls.
Macmillan Coffee Morning
We supported Macmillan Cancer Support by hosting a coffee morning. We made lots of delicious cakes and, in total, managed to raise £47. Well done and thanks to everyone involved!
Lollipop Ponies
We were joined by the wonderful 'Lollipop Ponies' recently. We all had lots of fun and residents loved meeting the amazing creatures – they even visited some less mobile people in their own rooms.
Getting Crafty
Residents asked to have an arts & crafts morning, so we decided to get 'crafty' with pebbles, which are now displayed in the courtyard. A simple idea, yet so effective in bringing even more colour into our garden area.
Open Day
We hosted another open day recently; it was a lovely afternoon and we had craft stalls and a car boot sale. Residents, loved ones, staff and members of the local community all had a great time.
