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.

Creating with Clay
Today our Daisy Lane community enjoyed a sensory activity using modeling clay, exploring different textures, colors and scents. Clay modeling is a therapeutic activity and provides creative stimulation and social interaction for our residents.
Happy Birthday 'John'
Today marks the start of Nutrition and Hydration Week. Here at Collingtree Park, we ensure that all of our residents are hydrated throughout the day as well as enjoy a variety of healthy, balanced meals.
We also ensure that we listen to the needs of residents - like John, who instead of a birthday cake, requested a 'healthier option' for his 88th birthday last week. John said 'The fruit tower was absolutely beautiful, me and my girls couldn't believe it. There was plenty to share with everyone else too".
Happy Birthday 'Derek'
Resident; Derek celebrated his 80th birthday this week and was so pleased with the cake, cards and singing! He's such a happy chap, alway's ready for a chat over a cup of tea and slice of cake.
Happy birthday Dere from your Collingtree Park family.
Namaste Chair Yoga
Tuesday and Fridays our residents enjoy chair yoga with our star Yvette!
Through the different poses of chair yoga, muscles can be built and strengthened. This, along with flexibility, helps to improve balance as well as mobility.
Getting Ready for Crufts
With Crufts starting today we thought it was only right that our residents had some quality time with sweet Ava the pug! Everyone enjoyed a cuddle and Ava enjoyed lots of treats and fuss. Maybe we will see her on Crufts next year!
