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.

Life at Hollyfields Care Home
Pub Outing
Residents enjoyed a trip out to their local public house recently for traditional lunches and ales. They indulged in three course meals, which included fish & chips and warmed sticky toffee pudding with custard.
Alpaca Visit
Residents were joined by four Alpacas in the grounds of Hollyfields recently. The alpacas bought a smile to the faces of residents, who enjoyed helping to brush and feed them. Residents who were unable to join us in the grounds were also visited in their rooms, as Alpacas, ‘Dave & Shar’, took to the great indoors. Much fun was had by everyone and the alpacas are still a hot topic of conversation today.
Open Day Begins
We prepared goody bags, tasty treats and items to sell for Barchester's Charitable Foundation - all ready for a good day ahead!
Musical Memories
A visit from the wonderful Debbie Miles got residents, staff members and relatives up dancing in fancy dress and playing along to songs on the musical instruments.
Fun in the Sun
Residents at Hollyfields enjoyed an afternoon of fun and games in the sun - and a visit from the ice cream man was just what the doctor ordered!
Dementia Awareness Week
We kicked off Dementia Awareness Week with a coffee morning, where we raised funds for the Alzheimer's Society. Staff, visitors, relatives and residents have been enjoying tasty treats.
