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.
Lucia Pivetta
Hello, my name is Lucia and I'm one of the Activities Coordinators here at Collingtree Park care home. My role is to enrich the lives of our residents by providing stimulating and person-centred activities. We offer something for everyone, including arts and crafts, games and live entertainment including visits to places of interest in the local area. I love to provide one-to-one time and sensory activities with residents who need a little more support.
Getting to know our residents better is so important, and through regular meetings with family and friends I can gain a greater understanding of their loved ones' interests and life prior to joining the Collingtree Park community.
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.

Celebrating Afternoon Tea Week

National Allotment Week
Our residents on Daisy Lane honoured the occasion by creating a herb garden. We spent the morning choosing which seeds to plant, and reading all about each type of plant. We have planted the seeds and look forward to watching them grow!
Catching Some Rays
Another sunny day at Collingtree Park means a garden stroll - checking up on our plants from gardening club and having a chin-wag in the sunshine! Derek and Pam were very impressed with the Marigolds we planted a few weeks ago, which have 'come out lovely!'.
Manicure Mornings
Manicure morning for our Bluebell residents means being pampered and feeling their best. Whether our residents choose to listen to classical music whilst having their nails painted, or putting the world to rights, over a cup of tea - they are all very pleased with the end result!
"Beauty is the promise of happiness" and our residents feel very happy after their beauty treatment.
Enjoying a Stroll
Enjoying some fresh air and admiring our beautiful flowers yesterday. By encouraging our residents to get out into the fresh air, we encourage them to walk and improve their mobility. We support and improve mental health by reducing isolation, building communication opportunities and informal support networks just through having a chat about the wildlife and connecting to and using green spaces.
Walking has so many benefits to our physical health and mental wellbeing - as you can see from the smile of Barbara's face!
