Activities at Meadow Park Care Home
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.

Life at Meadow Park Care Home
National Fish & Chip Day
Residents celebrated ‘National Fish And Chip’ day, with traditional home cooked fish in batter, with home-made chips, topped with lashings of salt and vinegar, tomato or tartar sauce.
And what goes better with fish & chips… a Mr Whippy 99 - with monkeys blood and a chocolate flake! We invited local ice cream man ‘Skippy’s Whippy’s’ to Meadow Park and after lunch, residents we’re delighted to go over to the van choosing what they wanted, with the most common choice being a 99.
Everyone devoured their ice cream, with Shirley saying ‘it’s been years since I’ve had a Mr Whippy, and from the van as well”. It went down a treat with all of our lovely residents, and staff.
A Royal knees up
Residents at Meadow Park enjoyed a right ‘Royal knees up’, celebrating HM King Charles birthday. King Charles III was born on the 14th November 1948, but like many other Monarchs, has another birthday earlier in the year, to maximise the chances of better weather for ‘Trooping The Colour’. Residents had a traditional afternoon tea party, with a sing a long, and lots of their favourite light bites, washed down with a glass of their favourite tipple - wines and beers.
Glass painting
Residents had the greatest pleasure of trying something new. Mind Active visited today with a lovely artist to complete the painting of Stained Glass Windows. Lots of excitement and chatter throughout the session, and many beautiful pieces created.
Flower arranging
Today residents created lots of floral arrangements decorating all areas of their home. A natural flair and an eye for colour resulted in many blooming displays, for everyone to enjoy.
Flower arranging is a popular group activity within the home and residents love to chat over a cup of tea and talking about their favourite flowers and time spent in their own gardens.
Into the deep with Hull Aquarium
Residents across our services enjoyed a fantastic virtual tour of The Deep, an award-winning aquarium in Hull.
Our residents dived into the underwater world of some fascinating creatures such as sharks, turtles and stingrays.
It was a truly immersive and educational experience that brought the wonders of the ocean right to our screens.
International Day of Families
What does Family mean to you? Love, Safety, Kindness, Memories, Truly being yourself, A sense of belonging. These are just a few of our thoughts residents used whilst talking about their families. Friends are family. In Meadow Park we are one huge extended family who meet as strangers and become one united group. We Celebrate Residents and Their Families every day
