Activities at Glebefields Care Home

"To appreciate the beauty of snowflakes it is necessary to stand out in the cold"

Today residents at Glebefields Care home enjoyed a small walk around the Care home to enjoy the snow. They were very happy to see snow all around the city. Marlene and Pam were happy and they said "That now they remember their childhood memories of playing with snow and also added that during their childhood the snowfall was much more than now and they miss those days. Thank You for bringing the memories back."

Musical festival, usually a series of performances at a particular place and inspired by a unifying theme, such as national music, modern music, or the promotion of a prominent composer's works. It may also take the form of a competition for performers or composers.

On Saturday 10th December, Glebefields Care home welcomed inspiring talents from Joanne Merry School of Dance who inspired our residents with their wonderful Christmas theme musical dance.

All our residents loved the performance of the little kids. Pam and Marion were so happy and excited to see the kids dancing.

'Twas the night before Christmas ... and the residents of Glebefields care home have been busy making icing decorations for their Barchester Christmas Cake entry into this years competition. Christmas isn't the same without the traditional Christmas cake and this Noël our residents hope to be in with the chance of winning £100 high street voucher for this beautifully decorated bake!

Residents, Minnie, Ivy, Sheila, Bert, Marlene and Pam along with staff members, Cristina, Snobia and Dinesh had a lovely time carefully cutting out and placing each star and iced bauble to their final design.

Our residents and staff were jumper-ing for joy to raise money for Save the Children. Resident’s Edith and Helen said: “We both chose to wear green, we love the colour; its festive and above all warm! It has been a very festive day and everybody looks fantastic.”

Nisha Shaji General Manager, said: “Today has been a whole lot of fun everyone enjoyed dressing in their best jumpers and my ‘Mrs Christmas’ knitted dress gave them all a good giggle! We are always proud to take part in Christmas Jumper Day and show our support for Save the Children.”

Residents and staff have been busy baking sensational scones, buttery biscoff cakes & delicious chocolate brownies. The smell around the dining room was delicious. Residents also made homemade candles all from natural products made with love. Varied fragrances and colours - Jasmine, Gingerbread, Lavender and more. They also created lots of home-made bunting/garlands/wreaths/paper chains to make the home as festive as can be. Residents just loved to make their own wreath for their doors with wonderful ideas.
