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.

Hi, my name is Kaylee and I joined the Hollyfields care team in February 2021. I love getting to know our residents and I'm extremely passionate about their continued wellbeing and life enrichment through tailored activities. I became part of the Activities team to develop more in this area and expand the type of fulfilling activities and events we provide.
Activities and Events Partnerships

Life at Hollyfields Care Home
Webbs Garden Centre
Yesterday we visited Webbs Garden Centre, Wychbold.
We had a festive day, looking at the lights, then stopping for a spot of lunch. The residents and staff thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
The staff couldn’t be more helpful and the efforts don’t go unnoticed. Tom was beaming from ear to ear as he delighted in the surroundings, saying ‘how lovely’ everything was.
Valerie chatted to Tom as they both agreed how lovely the lunch was. Mary and Martin talked about the store and how beautiful it looked. It was lovely to see everyone interacting and talking about the things they enjoy.
Jiggy Wrigglers
Hollyfields welcomed back Jiggy Wrigglers.
We enjoyed a wonderful morning with them, which even included snowfall.
The children and their families bring immense joy to our residents; it is truly heart-warming.
We extend our gratitude to all who visit and interact with us. Your participation is deeply valued.
Baking at Hollyfields
Yesterday here at Hollyfields, we continued our festive month with a bit of festive baking.
Of course we had to make gingerbread men!
We loved making these and especially loved eating them afterwards! In the new year we have more baking clubs coming for everyone to enjoy.
Please look at our website for more information on when events are happening.
Glam Sparrows
Yesterday we welcomed back The Glam Sparrows.
The residents and staff had a blast singing the afternoon out in festive style.
We have had so much fun this week!
Paul's Return
Yesterday afternoon, Paul's return performance for our residents was met with enthusiastic participation.
His engaging style encouraged residents to actively sing and move along to the music, fostering a festive atmosphere.
We are grateful for his contribution and the resulting positive impact, particularly the joy it brought, as evidenced by Mavis's enthusiastic participation and the widespread smiles throughout the room.
Bewdley Brewery Party
We were kindly invited to attend a Christmas Party The Bewdley Brewery Tap.
We had a lovely time sharing the festivities with the local community, coming together and sharing memories old and news.
The Mayor of Bewdley even made an appearance!
Being a part of the wider community is an important part of maintaining connections and the feeling of self.
