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.

Let's Get Physical
There's a true whole home approach to care at Collingtree Park, today our wonderful Administrator; Kelly decided to get everyone up and active, linking with an Oomph class on the lounge TV she led a exciting exercise class for our residents which they thoroughly enjoyed - thank you Kelly.
International Chocolate Cake Day
Well all the good intentions of January certainly went out the window today in celebration of International Chocolate Cake day as Collingtree Park's head chef; Jenni produced the most amazing array of Chocolate cupcakes for our residents and staff to indulge their guilty pleasures.
Did you know that a popular Philadelphia cookbook author, Eliza Leslie, published the earliest chocolate cake recipe in 1847 in The Lady's Receipt Book. Looking at Jenni's creations we think she could write her own bestselling cook book!
Everyone agreed they looked and tasted fabulous!
