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
Nail Care
Residents enjoyed a morning of nail care; they chose their favourite colour nail polish whilst chatting about the day ahead.
Fiddle Boards
DIY fiddle boards have proved to be a very meaningful activity for residents at Hollyfields. Those who like DIY find them relaxing and enjoyable.
Magical Mystery Tour
A drive out around the town, a detour to the sure forest, a diversion around Habberley Valley and a stop off for a Costa coffee on a cold winter's day always blows out the cobwebs.
The Magic Table
Residents enjoyed a morning of magical interaction; the Magic Table always sets the day off for fun and games.
90th Birthday Celebrations
Long-standing resident of 11 years, John, turned 90 recently. John's a huge Aston Villa fan and his room has been made over in complete Villa merchandise. John enjoyed his party with all his friends around him.
Pet Therapy
Nell, our PAT dog, visited again and was once again a hit with residents. Nell has been visiting our home for roughly 6 years and is always welcomed with tasty treats.
