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
Happy Easter
The Easter Bunny paid Collingtree Park a visit, and brought with him a trolley full of yummy chocolate eggs for residents and staff to choose from. Residents were spoilt for choice as the Easter Bunny hopped around the home spreading Easter joy!
Easter Bonnet Making
Memory Lane enjoyed a creative afternoon decorating Easter bonnets ready for our Easter Sunday lunch!
Luck of the Irish
We celebrated St Patrick's Day with an Irish-themed lunch, followed by an afternoon of fun and games!
Nutrition & Hydration Week
Nutrition & Hydration Week was celebrated throughout the home with a different food-based activity each day. From a colourful breakfast prepared with residents' help to food-themed word games and elegant tea parties. We had something for everyone, and what a great opportunity it was to try new foods and flavours.
Year of the Dog
We started our Chinese New Year celebrations by making our own lanterns. In the afternoon, one of our lovely housekeeping staff members shared with the residents her story of going to China on a charity walk a few years ago. We talked about the Chinese traditions and superstitions they believe bring you good luck. The day was finished up with a delicious Chinese-themed dinner with fortune cookies and a ‘red envelope’ for good luck.
Helping Hands
Residents are always keen to help out around the home and love getting involved with everyday activities, such as folding the laundry, matching socks, setting the table for meals and even helping out housekeeping with a spot of dusting.
