GLEBEFIELDS HONOURS CARERS FOR NATIONAL CARERS WEEK

Residents at Glebefields care home in Drayton, run by Barchester Healthcare, are celebrating National Carers’ Week, which takes place from June 7-13. Residents wanted to thank all the wonderful staff at the home, whose hard work and dedication make a real difference to the lives of those living in their care.

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 and valued’ - to shine a light on all those who work tirelessly behind the scenes to care for vulnerable people in our communities.

Staff were treated to a loving card and box of chocolates gifted to them by our very own residents!

Nisha Shaji, General Manager said: “It is so wonderful to be able to celebrate Carers Week and thank our fantastic carers with a summer party in our garden this year, and to be able to welcome the community, relatives and friends back again, whilst adhering to government guidance of course. It really does feel like life is getting back to normal now that we can have events and entertainment again.  Everyone has had such a fantastic day, we’re all so happy to be able to see each other face to face.”

Our varied life enrichment programme keeps residents active, and provides a daily choice of engaging physical, mental and spiritual activities tailored to residents’ interests and abilities.

We’re making our homes as safe as possible and will ensure that all new residents and staff are vaccinated before moving in or working in our homes.  Please do give us a call on 01295 738133 if you are looking for care or need any further help.

Glebefields Care Home is run by Barchester Healthcare, one of the UK’s largest care providers, which is committed to delivering high-quality care across its care homes and hospitals. Glebefields Care home provides Residential and Nursing care.

Thank you to the fantastic students at Shenington Primary School for making our residents these lovely handmade cards with some very heartwarming messages inside. 

Our residents absolutely adore them and are very impressed with how crafty you are! It’s very exciting to watch our sunflowers grow!

This last Friday, April 23rd the residents of Glebefields Care Home made the most of the beautiful weather and had an afternoon picnic in our garden. They were treated to a fabulous meal of fish & chips from our wonderful chefs. We basked in the sunshine in our bonnets until the late afternoon and when everyone else was ready to go in, Bert exclaimed that he, “never wanted to go back” because he had to work on his tan!

Congratulations to Shenington’s Class 4, Group 5 on winning our annual Easter Bonnet Competition! Thank you Headmistress, Ms. Reynolds for encouraging their participation - our residents loved seeing their masterpieces! We hope they enjoy their prizes! 

Glebefields had a lovely Easter weekend and even had a surprise visit from the Easter Bunny.
