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
Birthday celebrations Part II
Everyone at Meadow Park would like to wish Flo a very Happy 94th Birthday!
Today is Kindness Day and in the true spirit of kindness Flo's lovely family not only made Flo's special day wonderful they invited her new friends here in Meadow Park to attend her party this evening. They arranged, booked and treated everyone to her party this evening complete with our favourite singer Mark McCann.
Thank you for a wonderful evening.
Children in Need
Residents and the team dressed in their finest spots and dots today as befitting Pudsey Bear as they came together to have fun celebrating 'Children in Need'.
Everyone enjoyed a very special themed coffee morning, laughing and chatting throughout before settling back to have fun with a quiz which proved to be very popular by everyone as we came together to raise funds for this worthy cause. Thank you to everyone who joined us!
The Wallace Collection
Residents across our services had a lovely time joining Emily and Marie-Therese from the Wallace Collection, for a virtual introduction to Reubens' Rainbow Landscape.
Residents truly enjoyed the sensory walk through one of the museum’s most famous landscape paintings.
Everyone who joined had a wonderful experience and can’t wait to put their creative skills to the test by painting some landscapes of our their in the coming days!
Remembrance Sunday
Residents have taken to the streets of Bedlington today, to remember and pay their respects this Remembrance Sunday. We ventured up to the local Cenotaph, to say prayers, listen to the band, we also sang ‘God save the King’
Our ladies and gentlemen are so proud to pay their respects. They wrapped up warm and ventured out with members of the team who volunteered to escort them to this poignant service. Average ages of the attendees from 90 years to 100 years. Remembrance Sunday, is marked across the country every year, and we are really proud to be able to congregate with the local community again this year, and pay our respects.
Spooktacular crafts
Today many residents enjoyed a 'crafts afternoon' with a Halloween theme as we create our seasonal decorations from painted plates, small ornaments to hang from the doorways and shared memories of Halloween days from their younger years.
Everyone agreed Halloween was not recognised in the way, it is now - trick or treat and dressing the children in black bin liner outfits was as good as it got!
Dominoes Club
Autumnal days are here!
With a nip in the air and crisp mornings, what better place than to be in the warmth sharing common interests.
Our domino club is going from strength to strength with new members joining weekly. It's great fun in keeping our minds active.
