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
Crafts with hama beads
This week some of our ladies attempted a new craft taster session with Hama Beads. Hama beads are small hollow beads that can be used to create wonderful designs and beautiful artwork. There are so many Hama projects to create – from animals to flowers and more and
Hama beads are often gifted to loved ones and become a treasured possession.
Well done ladies for trying something new!
Some Mother's do Ave Em
Residents across our services had a fantastic time enjoying the virtual screening of Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em. Frank Spencer’s comical misadventures had everyone laughing and it was wonderful to see so many happy faces.

World Animal Day
Residents at Meadow Park marked World Animal Day on 4th October 2024 with an exciting visit from a variety of animals with ‘Local Edge’. Local Edge brought along a very large guinea pig, rabbit, bearded dragon, chickens and tortoise which all the residents really enjoyed!
