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
Exercise Hoopla
Thank you Anya from G-Fitness for hosting an exercise session for our Daisy Lane residents - they loved to get moving whilst enjoying song and dance too!
Joan said she really enjoyed the workout and Pam said it's even better with the music too.
It is so important that our residents keep active, and these tailored classes are slower paced and involve holding poses for longer periods of time, improving muscle strength for our residents.
Carers Week Treats
Carers week is a chance for us all to show our appreciation to our dedicated team who care for our residents. Carers are the heart of the home who show love, compassion, empathy and care. The residents love them all and trust them to look after them.
Chocolates, cool drinks, sweeties (and more!) … just a little thank you for the massive job you all do. Barrie and Derek got involved by presenting some of our team with a treat for working so hard to make the Daisy Lane community feel 'more like home'.
So if you're stopping by this week, make sure to thank the wonderful team at Collingtree for the work they do!
Getting Stronger Every Day
Our ladies did very well at chair yoga this morning - they're getting stronger every day!
Yvette, who volunteers to host the sessions, said 'it's so important for our residents to keep moving, and feel strong for themselves". We now offer chair yoga 3 times a week for our residents, all who have provided great feedback on the sessions too.
Sunshine Ladies
Some snaps of our ladies in the garden last week! We're all hoping the weather stays dry today so we can keep getting out into the sunshine.
Steve Sings, We Dance
Thank you Steve Carmel for a smashing afternoon last week - our residents (and staff) thoroughly enjoyed your visit!
Enjoying the Sunshine
Another week of sunshine, means our residents at Collingtree Park have been enjoying getting out into the garden! Here are some of our gents 'catching a tan' and having a chin wag in the sunshine.
