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
Chinese New Year
We had a wonderful time celebrating Chinese New Year here at Hollyfields as welcomed the Year of the Tiger. We spent the morning creating decorations for the Chinese New Year celebrations, as seen in the pictures. To finish off our celebrations we had a fantastic Chinese meal, cooked by our very own head chef, Sarah.
Animal Antics
We were delighted to welcome a number of furry (and not so furry!) friends into the home recently. Residents and staff had a great time seeing, holding and stroking a number of different animals and also learning more about them. We can't wait to have them back to the home again soon.
Valentine's Day Celebrations
We had a wonderful day celebrating Valentine's Day here at the home. We prepared for the event by creating our very own Valentine's Day arts and crafts to give to our loved ones. We then had a very special Valentine's Day lunch, prepared by our Head Chef. An amazing day was had by all!
Saturday Night Fever
We had a great time at 'Movie Afternoon' recently as we celebrated the Bee Gee's number 1 album, Saturday Night Fever, by watching the movie accompanied by popcorn, sweets and chocolates. A great time was had by all!
Burns Night Celebrations
We had a great time celebrating Robert Burns. Bagpiper Mark opened the afternoon up with live music, whilst the residents enjoyed delicious Scottish dishes and treats.
Friday afternoon with music from Martin
