Activities at Meadow Park Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
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.
Bethany Thompson
Hi, my name is Bethany, and I am the Activities Coordinator here at Meadow Park. I joined the team in October 2024 and my role consists in planning fun and engaging sessions for all of our residents, from parties to crafts, exercise to outings.
I have a background as a primary school teacher and an event planner, so my favourite thing to do is help create memorable experiences. When I am not working, I am busy spoiling my energetic Border Collie or spending time outside – I love camping, hiking and mountain biking.
Please catch me for a chat about activities that your loved one would enjoy.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
