Activities at Highfield Care Home

Our new luxury care home in Tadcaster, has opened its doors in style, with a Grand Opening performed by the Mayor of Tadcaster, Councillor David Bowgett, in front of invited guests from the local community.

Chief Executive Officer, Dr Pete Calveley, and General Manager, Rebekka Richardson, hosted the event and invited guests to view the stunning new 66 bed care home, along with its beautiful landscaped gardens, which is now open and welcoming its first residents.

Residents across our services had a wonderful time joining Cadbury for an interactive virtual talk on their fascinating 200-year history.

Residents joining learnt interesting facts about the chocolate giant, shared memories, and reminisced about their favourite sweet treats.

It was a heartwarming experience filled with laughter, nostalgia, and plenty of chocolatey goodness!

As part of our extensive training programme we had the pleasure of welcoming our Hospitality Specialists Siddharth and Mervyn to Highfield Care Home.

Our team had the opportunity to participate in the dining experience, ensuring our future residents dining requirements and needs are met. 

We were treated to the outstanding food and service, that our future residents will enjoy daily.

Residents across our homes and hospitals had a fantastic time with vocal coach Dan Cooper from Biiah as he led an amazing sing-a-long session for residents to enjoy. Residents who joined the event were able to learn different techniques as they sang the famous ‘I Can See Clearly Now’ by Jimmy Cliff and ‘Here Comes the Sun’ by The Beatles. Across our homes there were smiles and laugher all around. The session was such a success and was great for the mind, body and soul.

We had a brilliant time across our services with Harrogate Skills 4 Living as they took us on a wonderful virtual visit to their Harrogate Chocolate Factory.

Residents were thrilled to discover details about the chocolate-making process and the fascinating journey from bean to bar, all while enjoying some delicious sweet treats.

The Factory aims to employ people with learning disabilities and autism, involving them in all parts of the process, from sorting and roasting the beans to packaging and sales. The experience was truly enjoyed by all who joined this event.

Across the country our homes and hospitals came together to find out which care home or hospital had the best Bingo players as we teamed up for Barchester’s Bingo Bonanza.

Residents were treated to some exciting virtual games of Bingo as part of Barchester’ very own game show series.

Everyone who participate had a fantastic time and enjoyed some friendly competition.
