Activites at Glebefields Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
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.

Ashitha Dinesh
Activities Assistant
Hi, I'm Ashitha, and I'm proud to be part of the team at Glebefields Care Home as an Activities Assistant. I joined the Glebefields family in 2023, having earned my master’s degree in electrical engineering from Coventry University. Despite my engineering background, I bring a fresh perspective to enriching the lives of our residents. I enjoy creating an environment where they can have fun, connect with others, and stay mind active. Together with my co-workers, I'm dedicated to making every moment special for our residents, bringing happiness and meaning to their lives. It's an honour to be part of such a compassionate and dedicated team at Glebefields Care Home.
Celebrating life at Glebefields Care Home
Day Trip to Upton House
What a wonderful way to start the day — a scenic minibus trip to the breathe taking Upton House & Gardens, complete with a cosy hot drink to keep us warm as the summer weather brought some cooling winds. Our residents loved exploring the beautiful grounds, soaking up the fresh air, and sharing laughter together.
Regular outings are just one aspect of our life enrichment program and all the trips we take are at the request of the residents. Our monthly activities calendar boasts a range of outings and entertainment. Here’s to more memorable moments and joyful adventures.
Relaxing Yoga with Sarah
'Namaste everyone'
Our residents enjoyed a peaceful yoga session with Sarah today, helping everyone feel calm, stretched, and refreshed. A perfect way to relax and unwind.
PAT Dog Therapy
We had a lovely visit from Isla the PAT dog from Therapy Dogs Nationwide.
The concept of Therapy Dogs was originally devised by Lesley Scott-Ordish back in 1976 when she discovered the trauma experienced by the elderly if forced to give up a much-loved pet upon going into residential care.
Isla and her wonderful volunteer handler brought so much joy, cuddles, and wagging tails to everyone at Glebefields care home.
Celebrating National Cream Tea Day in style!
Our residents enjoyed a wonderful afternoon with freshly baked scones, lashings of cream and jam, and plenty of tea to go around. A perfect treat and a lovely way to spend time together!
Visit to Bodicote Nurseries
A lovely visit to Cotefield Nurseries today!
Residents enjoyed seeing beautiful British flowers and had some tasty refreshments too, it was such a peaceful and refreshing day out in the summer sun!
Alfie Keeps Us Active
Our residents had a great time during their exercise session with Alfie from G-Fitness. His energy and encouragement always get everyone moving and smiling! Staying active is so important — and fun too, especially with Alfie leading the way!
Sensational Summer Blooms
Our residents enjoyed a relaxing afternoon creating beautiful flower arrangements. It was a lovely way to spend time together and brighten up the home with fresh, colourful blooms.
Royal Ascot Ladies Day
We had a fabulous time celebrating in style! Everyone looked amazing in their outfits and hats as we enjoyed the races together. A big thank you to the incredible Fiona Harrison – “A Voice in a Million” – for her wonderful performance that made the day extra special.

Glebefields receives 5-star food rating!
There was plenty to celebrate this week at our Glebefields care home as staff and residents came together to mark the home’s latest achievement – a 5-star Food Hygiene Rating awarded by the local authority on 14th May 2025. The achievement is the highest rating a care home can receive from an Environmental Health officer, and shows the home has complied with all the statutory obligations; showing outstanding food hygiene standards.
Benazir Shakkir General Manager at the home, said: ““After an unannounced inspection, we’re delighted to have achieved the highest possible food hygiene rating. It’s a proof to the dedication and standards upheld by Head Chef Bose Jose, Second Chef Vincent Thomas, and the entire Hospitality team. Chef Bose, who joined us in June 2022, brings extensive expertise and a relentless commitment to maintaining a clean, safe kitchen environment. Vincent, who also came on board in 2022, has consistently upheld these high standards.” Food hygiene ratings reflect how well a food business handles food, from preparation to storage, as well as cleanliness, kitchen layout, ventilation, and record-keeping.
