Activities at Hollyfields Care Home
Our Activities programme is formulated using resident requests and feedback from resident meetings. Residents are involved in planning the programme with things they they would like to do throughout the year. There is a mixture of activities that take place including both group and 1-1 engagement. Residents at Hollyfields particularly enjoy movement to music activities enabling them to increase their level of physical abilities and have fun at the same time, whilst others enjoy musical singalongs and food based activities throughout the week.
We have a mini bus that enables us to reconnect our residents with their community in ways that suite themselves as individuals. This can be achieved by visiting local farms, Georgian towns, local attractions and even the local public house for lunch with friends. Hollyfields have a great relationship with their local community and have visits from local organisations such as The Wyre Community Land Trust and are currently undertaking a 12 week funded project from Arts Etc. Residents at Hollyfields enjoy Pet Therapy visits from their pet rabbit 'Thumper' and like to help clean and feed him daily. Relatives can be encouraged to join us for activities and again are very supportive with delivering theme days and fundraising events within the home.

Life at Hollyfields Care Home
Congratulations! She's Beautiful
Congratulations to Admire and his wife on the joyous occasion of the safe arrival of their precious baby girl. We sincerely wish them an abundance of happiness and fulfillment as they embark on this chapter in their lives.
World Children's Day Picnic
Today at Hollyfields we hosted a Teddy Bears Picnic. Families bought in their children along with their treasured friends and enjoyed stories, some of which the residents read to us. Some of the children also visited residents in their rooms and read some of their favourite stories.
We also enjoyed listening to vintage lullaby’s, singing along and talking about what memories they evoked in us. It was lovely to see the children and residents interact and talk about their bear friends. Thank you to all those who visited and joined in today.
Flower Arranging
We have a weekly fresh flower delivery to our home every Monday. Our ladies thoroughly enjoy the flower arranging process and engaging in conversations with one another. It is delightful to listen to their experiences related to flower arrangements in the past.
Happy Birthday 'Chrissy'
On Tuesday, we celebrated Chrissy from Ivy House's birthday. She had a delightful celebration with her family, friends, and our esteemed team. Chrissy expressed a desire to dine at one of her local pubs, so Gemma graciously came in on her day off today to escort Chrissy to her birthday lunch.
It's a Girl - Congratulations!
Congratulations to John and Katie on the joyous occasion of their new addition to the family. Their baby girl is beautiful and we wish them both an abundance of happiness and fulfillment as they embark on this wonderful journey of parenthood.
