Activities at Glebefields Care Home

Here at Glebefields Barchester we celebrated Father’s Day on 19th June 2022. We decorated our home and made all the Father’s Happy.

Father’s Day celebrates fatherhood, paternal bonds, and male parenting. It's celebrated in every country of the world to honor fathers. The purpose of celebrating this day is to celebrate the importance of a father and to appreciate his work.

The quality of a Father can be seen in the goals, dreams and aspirations he sets not only for himself but for his Family. To the Dad's everywhere;  we love you “Happy Father’s Day”

General Manager, Nisha and Activities Coordinator, Kay had the opportunity to meet many #Restart participants at today's jobs fair in the Restart Banbury Office. It was wonderful to see so many individuals ready to restart their career in Care.

Celebrating Royal Ascot Ladies Day at Glebefields, we started by getting ‘dressed to impress’ donning our best hats before studying the form.

Our residents and staff got together to watch the races, and learn all about the history of the face. With a glass of fizz in hand and strawberries we ran our mini sweepstake on the Gold Cup, with prizes for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th place.

Nisha Shaji, General Manager at the home, said: “We’ve had a fantastic time celebrating Royal Ascot, it is such a great event to watch and it is wonderful to see the crowds back again. We all love horses at Glebefields and are so fortunate to have several horses living in a neighbouring field, adjacent to the home. Our residents can see and stroke them daily. We’re almost certain they’re no thoroughbreds but still gorgeous all the same!

The gentleman had a wonderful time celebrating Beer Day Britain, the UK’s national beer day on June 15th. Our residents had the opportunity to try different local beers and further a field. #CheersToBeer

In celebration of our wonderful care team we held a small garden party during Carers Week 2022. We felt they all deserved a little treat, with a super spread of party food, and personal messages from the residents and fellow colleagues. The homes manager Nisha presented them with a Thank You card from Barchester, and a gift for their continued hard work and dedicated.

Carers Week is an annual event to raise awareness of caring, highlighting the challenges carers face, and recognising the contribution they make to our residents, families and communities throughout the UK. The theme for Carers Week this year is ‘Making caring visible, valued and supported’ - to shine a light on all those who work tirelessly behind the scenes to care for vulnerable people in our communities.

On World Ocean Day; 8th June 2022 people everywhere unite to celebrate and take action for our shared blue planet, with one ocean and one climate, which connect us all. At Glebefields we are passionate about all things aquatic. Our residents had a wonderful time learning about the Deep Blue Sea and creating a collage for display.

Using just water, our aqua magic art sheets revealed stunning Dolphin images.
