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.

Life at Collingtree Park Care Home
What a Fabulous 50's Fete!
We'd like to thank everyone for making our Summer Fete such a success, from the residents to family and friends, and members of the local community that joined us to party the day away. The local independent stalls were full of goodies to buy, and our American diner severed freshly made burgers throughout the event. The hook a duck was a favourite and many people won great prizes on our fairground activities, raffle and tombola!
Thank you for the wonderful performances from 'The Sundaes' and 'Zing Entertainment' who had us all up and jiving the clouds away!
Pony Party at Collingtree Park
What a marvelous morning at Collingtree Park we had today! We had the pleasure of welcoming Lollipop Pony Parties to our care home. Residents loved feeding, petting and getting to know more about the two very well behaved ponies, and shared storied of their own experiences with horses and ponies too.
Thank you to Karen and Sam for fitting us into your busy schedule, our residents can't wait to see you, Moomin and Lolly very soon.
Manicure day!

Stretching Out!
A morning of exercise with Anya from G-Ftiness. Our residents enjoyed using the resistance bands and strengthening their arms - well done ladies!
Happy Birthday 'Maureen'
Over the weekend Maureen celebrated her birthday with a Collingtree Cake and afternoon tea with her children. Maureen said "I couldn't believe the cake was for me, it was absolutely beautiful. It was such a treat for me and my children to share on my birthday, thank you".
World Friendship Day
Today we have been discussing the meaning of friendship; sharing memories of our friends, what it all means and how friendship "makes the world go round". Thank you to our wonderful residents for sharing their tales of friendship with me, and thanking each other for being wonderful friends too.
