Activities at Highfield Care Home

At Highfield Care Home residents enjoyed some healthy competition amongst themselves and the staff. We had games such as dominoes and Connect Four, which was a great hit, especially as a players advantage is another players disadvantage. With others watching on, it is a difficult game to watch as they have their own ideas how to play and most importantly how to win.

The residents are looking forward to a more regular games day at Highfield Care Home.

Highfield Care Home have celebrated World Music Day, by listening to some of the residents favourite hits.

There are many favourites amongst the residents at Highfield Care Home. From a sing-a-long to the great King Elvis Presley, to a chair dance to swing and jazz music, to a heartfelt belting of some of the greatest War Songs. You will find most days there’s country or classical music coming from one of the lounges.

The lounge was filled with joy while they all shared their favourite artists and toe tapped along.

In June, Highfield Care Home celebrated British Flowers Week.

Margaret and Alison have had a fantastic time looking at adding new colours to Highfield’s stunning, landscaped gardens. Highfield is set in a beautiful and tranquil open parkland, overlooking a lake and in close proximity to the historic Roman Catholic Church of Scarthingwell Park.

The residents of Highfield can’t wait to get involved in potting and planting, to make their resident gardens their own.

Alison is excited to add yellow and gold hue’s to the gardens, and Margaret has ordered blue’s and purples.

The Highfield team are looking forward to the added colours chosen by the residents.

We recently celebrated #CarersWeek, a time to recognise the incredible carers we have in our Highfield Care Home family.

Every day, our carers go above and beyond to ensure the wellbeing and happiness of our residents, and that fun is had by all. Their dedication and compassion shines through in every act, whether it's a kind word, a gentle touch, or simply being there to listen.

To all our carers, THANK YOU for your invaluable contribution, you are truly amazing

Our beautiful garden is a great environment for our residents and families to sit in, relax and enjoy a variety of amazing outdoor activities.

With the help of our residents and staff, we have decorated our grounds with colourful plants and created seating areas throughout for the summer months.

In our outdoor space we happily welcome entertainers, community members, families and friends, and organise specially selected activities, sessions and games.

Fun was had by all!

We love our 'magic table' and enjoy spending time exploring its plethora of functions and games.  The huge interactive, touch screen can be wheeled anywhere in our care home enabling all residents where ever they are to enjoy it.

Whether a resident would like to complete a jigsaw, like Alison or whether they wish to join in on quizzes or video call a loved one, the table has so much to offer.
