Activities at Glebefields Care Home

Our residents and staff absolutely love their visits from the young children at Little Sparrows Childcare. Their inquisitive minds and beaming faces brighten the whole home. Intergenerational activities are beneficial for all involved.

The home's traditional Doll's House, Robotic Cat and mountains of art supplies make for some lovely life enriching moments - Thank you for joining us and for brining so much joy!

Alfie from G Fitness visited Glebefields Care Home - Barchester Healthcare and gave residents a wonderful workout session. With upbeat music playing in the background, we participated in gentle chair exercises targeting both the upper and lower body. Additionally, we enjoyed some fun ball games as part of our fitness routine. It was a refreshing experience for everyone involved!

We celebrated National Chocolate Day with a fun activity: making home made chocolate cupcakes! Residents and staff gathered in the kitchen to create these delicious treats from ground up.

Our lovely resident Joan shared her home made recipe and fond memories of baking cupcakes for her children. It was a very happy moment as we mixed the batter, filled the cupcake liners, and added decorations.

Everyone chatted and smiled, making it a sweet and memorable day for all of us! At the end of the day, when we each got to enjoy our own home made cupcake, the happiness was visible.

We had a lovely time celebrating Robert Burns Day with our residents and staff. We started the day with a tasty Scottish lunch of Scotch broth, fish pie with neeps, and cranachan for dessert. Then, we all gathered to enjoy some Scottish music and learn about Robbie Burns. After that, we had fun making shortbread together. Our home was decorated with festive decorations, and everyone had smiles on their faces. It was a day full of laughter, music, and tasty treats - a celebration to remember.

Last week we had the opportunity to thank our wonderful activities team here at Glebefields for there hard work and dedication in making a real difference to the lives of the residents living here. National Activity Providers & Professionals Week is an annual event to support activity professionals and thank them for all the many different varied activities they provide.

Each and every member of the team at Glebefields offer unique, tailored activities and entertainment to the residents every single day. They always go above and beyond their role and for this everyone at the home is truly grateful. As part of the celebrations, our activities team; Kay, Shyama and Ashitha were treated to a surprise party and presentation of gifts. Head chef Bose created a beautiful cake for them to enjoy.

Nisha Shaji General Manager said: “It is so wonderful to be able to celebrate National Activities Providers & Professionals Week and thank our fantastic activities teams for all their hard work by organising something for them for a change!”

We went on a lovely trip to Cotefield Nurseries with our staff and our lovely residents, Marlene, Pauline, Sheila, and Rod. We had a great time exploring the nurseries and then stopped by the tea room for some hot drinks, which was really refreshing. It was a wonderful experience for all of us, and we're excited for more outings together!
