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
Trip to 'The Falconry Centre'
Today we visited The Falconry Centre, Hagley at Webbs. Our residents and staff enjoyed admiring the birds of prey, before heading to the café for a spot of lunch. It was really lovely to see so many smiles, the birds were truly magnificent sight to behold sweeping past on command.
Fitness Friday with Lucy
Today, our residents had the pleasure of participating in a fitness session led by Lucy. The session incorporated a variety of boxing and kicking exercises, followed by stretching using resistance bands. The residents thoroughly enjoyed the session, which provided a great workout and helped them stay active despite the warm weather.
We were delighted to see the residents laughing and smiling throughout the session, and we extend our gratitude to the families who attended.
Glam Sparrows Entertain
This afternoon we had the fantastic Glam Sparrows come perform for us. They had the residents engaged using their glamorous batons, we were shaking them all about! It has been a wonderful hour!
Brunch in Bewdley
We had a delightful alfresco lunch by the River Severn in Bewdley. The pleasant weather allowed us to reminisce about our previous visits to this location. Derek in particular enjoyed the opportunity to engage in friendly conversations with various individuals and their canine companions.
Happy Birthday Beautiful 'Beryl'
Today we celebrated Beryl's Birthday with a delightful afternoon tea. The event was graciously hosted by Gemma and Cheryl at Ivy House, who prepared a magnificent buffet spread for Beryl and her loved ones. Beryl expressed her heartfelt gratitude for the thoughtful gesture and thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon.
At Hollyfields care home and Ivy House we celebrate birthdays not just as a mark of ageing another year but as a celebration of life, achievements, and personal growth. It's a time for reflection, gratitude, and looking forward to future possibilities. Birthdays provide a special opportunity for us to help residents to gather with loved ones and create lasting memories.
Hawaiian Bank Holiday Fun
Today we had a delightful Hawaiian-themed day at our home. Our residents had a wonderful time making pizzas at Ivy House. Gemma & Chrissy expressed their fondness for pineapple on their pizza, and it was a hit with everyone!
In the afternoon, we indulged in a refreshing fruit platter alongside our home-made pizzas. The residents thoroughly enjoyed the delicious treats. We would like to express our gratitude to all the families who joined us today. It was a pleasure to reconnect with some familiar faces and witness the joy and camaraderie between our residents. We had a truly remarkable day.
