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
Canal Cruise
We had a fantastic day out on a narrowboat at Blisworth Marina. We enjoyed a picnic lunch whilst listening to the sound of the water and watching the different animals in the fields nearby.
Story Trail
As part of our passion for building links with the local community, we have started a story writing project. The aim of this project is for one school to write the beginning of a story and then pass the story on to another school to write the next part – and so on. The residents will then complete the ending of the stories. The first part of these stories is in our reception area, so please come in and have a read.
Dementia Awareness Week
We have been busy working together to make clay Forget-Me-Not flowers. The flowers have been hand-painted by residents, and each flower is unique. The flowers are being displayed at the front of our home during Dementia Awareness Week (21st - 27th May).
Forget-Me-Not
On Memory Lane, we have been getting ready for Dementia Awareness Week by making Forget-Me-Not flowers out of clay. Once the flowers were dry, we painted them blue and yellow. They will be on display during Dementia Awareness Week, so please come and take a look between 21st and 27th May,
Canal Watching
We had an enjoyable trip to Stoke Bruerne, where we had a relaxing day watching the different canal boats go by. We spotted a ‘cheese boat’, but sadly it was out of cheese! We enjoyed a lovely picnic lunch and stopped by the pub for a nice cold drink afterwards.
All Things Chocolate
We had a chocolaty afternoon with our chocolate fountain and a yummy selection of fresh fruit and marshmallows.
