Activities at Glebefields Care Home

Residents Barry, Ivy, Edith, Minnie, Cynthia, Helen, Stanley, and Marlene were treated to an exceptional musical performance by Justin Pate. With his remarkable guitar skills and soulful songs, Tristan created an enchanting experience that resonated with everyone in attendance.

The serene garden, adorned with vibrant flowers and surrounded by lush greenery, provided a picturesque setting for this captivating event. As our residents tapped their feet, embraced the melody, and embraced the peaceful atmosphere, they were transported to a place of tranquillity and joy.

At Glebefields Care Home, we appreciate the transformative power of music and nature in uplifting spirits and fostering connections. This memorable performance will surely be cherished by our residents for years to come.

We'd like to send a big THANK YOU to our wonderfully creative Head of Maintenance; Ricki Whitton for thinking out of the box and upcycling two discarded cast iron garden chairs, and an ornate bird cage to create these beautiful planters.

Each now standing proudly and popping with colour and plants to decorate the frontage of our home. We look forward to seeing the chair blooms grow, picking (and eating) the bird cage strawberries and chef is already overjoyed with the herbs! The Glebefields gardens, our residents and staff think you’re a star.

In honour of May, our residents Helen, Ivy, Cynthia, Marlene, Edith, and staff gathered for a delightful session dedicated to crafting intricate flowers.

With their skilled hands and artistic talents, they skilfully fashioned vibrant paper blooms, capturing the essence of spring in each delicate petal. The atmosphere was filled with creativity and camaraderie as they shared techniques, admired each other's creations, and embraced the joy of self-expression.

In 2023, the theme for International Nurses’ Day is... Our Nurses. Our Future.

International Nurses’ Day is a day to give thanks for the dedication of care givers everywhere, who go above and beyond the call of duty to deliver extraordinary care and support.

Coinciding with the birthday of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing, International Nurses Day, held on Friday 12th May, is a day to celebrate nurses and care staff around the world.

The residents and staff at Glebefields were happy to get involved by hosting a much deserved party for their wonderful nurses and retired hospital nursing friends from around the county.

Nisha Shaji, General Manager at the home, said: “At Glebefields, our nurses and staff are hard-working, dedicated, and passionate about caring for others they continue to work tirelessly, and I’m proud of the professionalism and duty of care they uphold.

All their efforts are focused on delivering the best possible care for our residents, so it’s nice to take this time to show our appreciation in return. It is also lovely to celebrate our residents who were nurses themselves and thank them for all the hard work they did during their careers.”

Bert, who lives at Glebefields, said: “The nurses and care staff here spend so much time and energy looking after us, it’s been lovely to see them enjoy themselves, and I really appreciate all they do for me.”
