Activities at Glebefields Care Home

Yorkshire Day is a yearly celebration on 1 August to promote the historic county of Yorkshire, England. Few of our residents at Glebefields care home spent time learning more about the history relating to Yorkshire Day. They were so excited and helped us to decorate our home for Yorkshire day event. We had a great afternoon being entertained by 'Mr John Richards' who sang songs sung by Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Perry Como, Dean Martin and many more crooner artists. 

The Commonwealth Games, often referred to as the Friendly Games, is a quadrennial international multi-sport event among athletes from the Commonwealth of Nations. The Games were called the British Empire Games from 1930 to 1950, the British Empire and Commonwealth Games from 1954 to 1966, and British Commonwealth Games from 1970 to 1974.

Its good to see our residents participating in preparing the display board for commonwealth game. They were very eager to know about all the games and to see live shows of commonwealth game on TV.

Few residents did also enjoyed playing scrabble during this time.

What a fantastic time we all had celebrating National Cheese & Wine Day yesterday, surely one of the best days of the year! The activities team and Head Chef, Bose Jose, got together to source some local cheeses and paired them with all sorts of wines. Our residents had great fun trying different styles of wine with the different cheeses along with relishes, chutneys, grapes, plus a range of breads, biscuits and crackers.

Home Manager, Nisha, said: “Everyone was so excited to hear there was a National Cheese & Wine Day, what a brilliant excuse to get lots of delicious cheeses and wines in to sample. It is such a classic combination, our residents had a fantastic time tasting all the different cheeses and wines on offer.”

Staff, residents, relatives and the local community came together at Glebefields to enjoy some summer sun at our Seaside themed event. We hosted a variety of activities throughout the day, including tin-can alley, skittles, beach volleyball, and a sand castle competition. It was such an awesome day, with the gardens transformed into a breach front with visiting ice cream van. The homes hospitality team served a traditional ‘Fish and Chips’ menu by the seaside, beside the sea!

All the visiting children enjoyed making sand castles for our residents to judge the best and Addhu and Jacob brought smiles to our faces throughout the day jumping in and out of the paddling pools and playing various ball games with everyone. Residents; Edith and Marlene said, “We thoroughly enjoyed it, seeing so many people having fun in our gardens.

Our residents took time to remember Nelson Mandela on 18th July in honour of the great man’s birthday.

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was born in Mvezo, South Africa. An anti-apartheid revolutionary, political leader and philanthropist, Mandela was South Africa’s first democratically elected African president and served his country from 1994-99.

We spent the day reminiscing on his life and creating a memory board. Nelson Mandela was renowned around the world for his commitment to peace, negotiation and reconciliation. Also known as Madiba, he passed away on 5 December 2013 with many accolades to his name including the Nobel Peace Prize.

"He was truly a remarkable man, a real one-off."

Flower power that puts smiles on all our faces! Our residents enjoyed making some floral, and fragrant table decorations for the dining halls at Glebefields. Their creations always brighten the home and our hearts.
