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
Green Fingers
Our residents enjoyed the fruits of their labour after planting tomatoes seeds earlier on in the season and watching them grow inn the raised beds where they also planted different flowers and hanging flower pots, making the garden even more beautiful to look at.
100th Birthday Surprise
It was great to see Joan with her family who had driven all the way from Devon to spend some time with her on this very special birthday. Joan received her card from Her Majesty, and over 24 cards from friends and family. The residents joined in with the in the celebrations, wearing their headdresses that they had made beforehand. Joan took all this in her stride!
Friendship Day
Residents really enjoyed remembering some of their favourite moments with their best friends growing up. It was so lovely to see their faces light up when talking about their friendships over the years!
Redecorating!
Our residents enjoyed repainting of the existing tea room into a vintage tea room. They helped hang up bunting and setting up the tables with old tea sets.
Ascot Ladies Day
As we could not attend the Ladies Day at Ascot, our residents made and decorated some fascinators. They put their gladrags on, placed bets and watched the races. They celebrated their wins with a glass of bubbly and a cheeky chocolate bar.
Gardening Club
We launched our summer gardening club and planted our wheelbarrows with geraniums and lobelia and other flowers to bring colour in the summer!
