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.
Kaylee White
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.

Life at Hollyfields Care Home
Harvest Festival
Hollyfields visitors, residents and staff enjoyed an afternoon of religious thanks to God as part of their Harvest Festival celebrations. All non-perishable food was donated by relatives and staff and the Co-op in Bewdley for us to deliver to our local food bank next week.
Hollyfields Hairdressing
This is Deeanna, a fairly new resident at Hollyfields, who worked for many years as a hairdresser. Dee doesn't particularly like cutting men's hair, as she said it can become quite boring because it is too short. Staff at Hollyfields decided to purchase a training mannequin Head for her, and this enables her to fill her time and maintain her skills.
Pet Therapy
Everyone’s favourite PAT dog, Nell, visited the home again recently and residents were extremely happy to see her.
Thank You, Sainsbury's
A huge amount of fresh flowers were delivered to residents at Hollyfields by Sainsbury’s staff recently. Residents enjoyed sitting and arranging flowers, which will be displayed around thei home and in their rooms. Residents enjoyed the colours and smells that the flowers bought with them.
Horticultural Show
Residents visited their local horticultural show with friends and families. The day bought lots of memories back for all of us.
Donating Apples
We had plenty of apples left after making apple juice from our recent Hollyfields Orchard haul, so we decided to donate the rest to West Midlands Safari Park to help feed the animals.
