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.

Activities Coordinator

Lucia Pivetta

Activities Coordinator

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.

Caring for the Garden

Our dynamic duo have been at it again! Gardening duo Derek and Barrie have been busy decorating bird and bee houses today for our garden (I may have added the flowers!).

Whilst choosing where to display them, Derek also took to supervising Andy, who has done an amazing job of making our outside areas splendid for Spring. Looks great gents.

Ladies of Leisure!

Enjoying the sun while it lasts, who would have thought it was the middle of May?

This week we have truly made the most of the sun, with lots of our residents enjoying afternoon tea in the garden, flower arranging, planting and more!

Our ladies enjoyed the rays, whilst sharing stories of their lives over a cup of tea.

Happy weekend everyone!

Get Fit and Be Happy

A big thank you to Anya from G-Fitness for our weekly exercise session!

Residents all said they feel much more confident with their exercises now that the sessions happen every week, and that the music and movement makes them feel happy and healthy.

Today we will be relaxing with our weekly chair yoga session and a gander in the garden!
