Activities at Collingtree Park Care Home
Our specialist activities staff are committed to organising a mix of activities and events for residents and the local community to get involved in, including trips out to local places of interest in our minibus and visits from entertainers and musicians. It is important to us that each individual who we support can get as much from these as they can, so we try our best to arrange activities that reflect their interests and capabilities as best as possible, and encourage them to participate in any way they can. We also encourage relatives to join in with activities and events as often as they can.
Martin Tilly-Reed
Hello, my name is Martin, I'm the activities coordinator here at Collingtree Park
My role is to ensure that our activities, outings and the entertainment we provide is stimulating and inclusive of all our residents no matter their challenges. It is important to me that our weekly calendar offers enriching experiences with music from live entertainers, visits to various locations outside the home, as well as arts and crafts tailored to individual abilities.
Getting to know our residents better is so important, and through regular family and friends’ meetings we can gain a greater understanding of their loved ones' interests and life prior to joining Collingtree Park that will make for a richer activities program to be developed.
I look forward to getting to know you, and your loved ones.
We are always open to new ideas. If you would like to get involved in any of our Life Enrichment activities or have a skill, or project you'd like to share with our residents, please click here to contact the activities team direct. New entertainers and community links are always welcome.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Collingtree Park Care Home
Happy 90th Birthday 'Pam'
We wished the happiest of birthdays to our nonagenarian Pam this week, she enjoyed a day of singing, a room filled with birthday cards, and a special home-made health conscious cake courtesy of chef just for her. To top off her big day, both Pam and her husband Roy won our carpet bowls tournament, so had chocolates to take back to their room too. What a happy day we have had at Collingtree Park.
Dobbies and Dogs Delight
Jean and Barbara had a wonderful time on Saturday at Dobbies Wootton, Barbara enjoyed "testing the furniture" whilst Jean commented on how many pairs of shoes there were! Both ladies had a wonderful time browsing the shelves and meeting the Guide Dogs was a real treat.
Enjoying some Autumn Sunshine
This week we have had a trip to the garden centre, as well as making the most of the September sunshine by getting our residents out for walks around our local village. Our Daisy Lane community enjoyed exploring the local area; wildlife and flowers.
Getting Crafty with Magnets
Craft club on Daisy Lane this afternoon, talking about our friends and making our own fridge magnets! As you can see, carer Jun and housekeeping assistant Felicity were keen to get involved too - showing off their creative flare.
Day Trip to Dobbies Garden Centre
This week two of our residents enjoyed a trip to the local garden centre. Not only did they indulge in the most scrumptious coffee and cake, but they also got a sneak peek at the early Christmas preparations at the garden centre. Thank you to the team at Dobbies in Wootton, for their hospitality and for getting us all excited for the most wonderful time of the year.
Stay merry and bright, everyone!
Kni & Natter with Parish Council
Our residents love being part of the local community and have started working with the Collingtree Park Parish Council to create some beautiful poppy displays for Remembrance Sunday within their weekly Knit & Natter group.
