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
Back to the 1940s for Cream Tea Day and Armed Forces Day
We had a lovely afternoon at Collingtree Park, celebrating Armed Forces Day and National Cream Tea Day. We took a trip back to the 1940s and residents put their glad rags on to join in with the lovely Leyla as she sang songs from the 1940s and 50s. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and the traditional cream tea with scones, jam and cream. Till We Meet Again…!
An outing to Beckworth Emporium
Gwen, Mavis, Mary and Jean were thrilled to go on a little outing in the Collingtree Park minibus, to Beckworth Emporium, where we enjoyed a walk around the garden centre and vintage shops. We stopped for a lovely tea and coffee break in the Atrium café before heading home.
Beautifully manicured nails
Evelyn, Jayne and Joan were thoroughly spoilt and enjoyed having their nails manicured at Collingtree Park. We started by soaking their hands in warm water. Then we cleaned, cut and shaped their nails. This was followed with nail polish in a colour of their choice and ended with a well earned hand massage. It was so relaxing they nearly went to sleep.
An outing to Bell Plantation
Pamela, Maureen and Eileen were very excited to go out in the Collingtree Park minibus. We visited Bell Plantation in Towcester for a little retail therapy. Pamela bought a gift for one of her grandchildren and then we enjoyed ‘Ladies do lunch’. Residents discussed all sorts of things while enjoying a light meal and said they had the most wonderful time. The weather held out while we went for a walk around the grounds and luckily we were back in the minibus before the rain and hailstones arrived.
Getting busy on World Bee Day
It was lovely to see Maureen, Margaret, Isobelle, Jill and Betty enjoying a craft session. They painted and decorated bumble bees for our ‘World Bee Day’ display at Collingtree Park.
A trip to Abington Park
We are over the moon that we can take residents out in the Collingtree Park minibus again. We took James and Graham to Abington Park where they enjoyed the space, fresh air and a lovely ice cream from local company, Gallone’s. We are delighted to be enjoying these simple pleasures again.
