Activities at Glebefields Care Home
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience, and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.

Day Trip to Upton House
An enchanting day at Lord and Lady Bearsted's 1930s country retreat, Upton House.The dramatic terraced gardens left us in awe, and the world-renowned art collection within the house was a true masterpiece. Plus, we enjoyed a delicious lunch out, making our historical trip even more delightful!
Intergenerational Fun For All
The little sparrows, our young friends, brought laughter and joy to our day today, reminding us of life's simple pleasures. "Their visits remind us of the simple joys in life," Barry said. We cherish these moments with them and look forward to more special times together.
