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
Remembrance Day
Our Collingtree Park residents came together to watch the parade & service held at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, followed by a 2 minute silence to commemorate the anniversary of the end of the 1st World War.
The residents then shared their own memories of their experience through the war as young children, this was followed up with poems read out by different residents and their families.
World Food Day
Residents enjoyed a Chinese meal at the Collingtree Park Wok Inn in recognition of World Food Day. They were greeted with oriental music playing and a lovely glass of wine, only a few were brave enough to use the chop sticks.
Scouts at Collingtree
As part of our community engagement, the residents enjoyed a visit from the local Boy Scouts. They were amazing with the residents; chatting and listening, they enjoyed themselves so much. We received a lovely email from them commenting on how much they enjoyed their time with our residents. Seth really enjoyed it so much, and wants to learn sign language, and would like to come back to visit soon. In the letter, we also received comments from the parents explaining how much they enjoyed their evening.
Memory Walk
Residents, family and staff all enjoyed taking part in our annual Memory Walk in aid of the Alzheimer’s Society, we walked to Collingtree Park Golf House and enjoyed tea and biscuits in the sunshine before a balloon release, we were thrilled to raise £115 for such a great cause.
