Activities at Hagley Place Care Home
Activities plays a big part in the care we deliver to residents; activities staff are committed to organising a mix of activities and events for residents and the local community to get involved in, including trips out to local places of interest in our minibus and visits from entertainers and musicians. It is important to us that each individual who we support can get as much from these as possible, so we try our best to arrange activities that reflect their interests and capabilities as best as possible, and encourage them to participate in any way they can. We also encourage relatives to join in with activities and events as often as they can.
Mandy Hayward
I have a long background in the care industry and love to incorporate the outdoors in my activities. This role is very special as it allows me the time to get to know our residents and their families in a deeply personal way.

Life at Hagley Place Care Home
Every Friday is George Day
George has been absolutely amazing at bringing motivation to our lunges and has made such an impact on our residents too with his seated exercise sessions and his cheesy jokes.
He is a massive hit at Hagley Place with residents, their families and friends, along with all the staff.
Everyone is welcome to come and join us for George’s exercise classes!
Holy Communion and Christmas Puddings
Our Holy communion is run by Ruth, and today she spoke to us about the myths and traditions of Christmas puddings, with all of us making a wish as we stirred the mixtures together.
Popular Myth - “The pudding should be made on the 25th Sunday after Trinity, it should be prepared with 13 ingredients to represent Christ and the 12 apostles, and every family member should stir it in turn from East to West to honour the 3 wise men and their journey in that direction.”
EnabLE!
We did it!
Hagley Place is now live with Enable, our digital care planning system.
This switchover will allow us to streamline our documentation of the care we provide, marking down all interactions as they happen, freeing up more time for us to spend some well deserved quality time with our residents.
A HUGE thank you has to be made to our incredible transposing team who have spent the last 3 weeks making sure all of our residents care profiles were transferred accurately to Enable with the most in depth knowledge possible, none of this would be possible without you.
Here’s to an exciting step forward!
Bonfire Night
We invited two of our sister homes over to join us for fireworks and hot dogs on November 5th and a brilliant night was had by all.
Great food, great company and a brilliant light show created the perfect November atmosphere as we celebrated bonfire night together.
Olympics - care home style
To entertain our residents, our staff performed a care home version of the Olympic games. Events included wheelchair races, fastest bed change and even a drinks relay race.
Cosford Air Museum
Many of our residents have served in the armed forces or emergency services and we took a trip down memory lane with some of those who served in the RAF.
