Activities at Glebefields Care Home
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience, and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.

Life at Glebefields Care Home
New Year's Resolutions for the Younger Generation
Residents at Glebefields made their belated New Year’s resolutions in the form of advice for the younger generation. We enjoyed an afternoon full of laughter and reminiscence whilst discussing our humorous past mistakes and the words of wisdom that we would like to pass on to others.
Resident, Bert as always put a smile on everyone’s face with his very witty and to the point statement! “Don’t grow old – I’ve done it and wouldn’t do it again”. Great advice from Bert in which we would all like to follow! –Emily Sweetingham – Activities coordinator.
