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
Puzzles Stimulate Memories
Today residents on Memory Lane have enjoyed one to one puzzle sessions with a cup of tea and biscuits. These easy to handle dementia friendly activities help with hand-eye coordination, stimulate conversation through reminiscence and provide a sense of achievement.
Ivan said 'Thank you for helping me complete something, and thank you for being here with me to do it'.

Trip to Collingtree Gold Club
We had a lovely trip to Collingtree Park Golf Club yesterday! Thank you Rhea for your hospitality and helping us pick a sweet treat for our afternoon tea.
Happy Mother's Day
In celebration of all Mother's on their special day we asked our residents to tell us about any advice or memories they could recall about their wonderful mums.
It was so lovely learn how much respect they had for their mothers and the knowledge they imparted whilst growing up that shaped their lives. It was all cakes, flowers and cards throughout the home on Sunday... Happy Mother's Day with love from all at Collingtree Park.
