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
Musical memories
Yesterday residents were treat to a sing a long with the wonderful Musical Memories Everyone clapped and sang a long to all the oldies and even the staff couldn’t resist a boogie. Music elevates mood and reduces stress, it can also relieve symptoms of depression and help manage pain.
Remembrance Sunday
Staff had the pleasure of escorting residents to our hometown's marketplace in Bedlington to watch the remembrance parade. Residents had a wonderful time. We bumped into old friends and reminisced about the war and those that fought for our country. We sang the national anthem and made prayers for the fallen, before heading back to our home to admire the window display honouring the armed forces.
A Visit from the Armed Forces
Meadow Park have enjoyed a visit from the 101 Regiment Royal Artillery warrant Officer class two Nicky Cullwick, Warrant Officer class two Diane Hillary, Bombardier Mark Mary and Corporal Steve Daley who have all shared a wonderful morning with our residents reminiscing and sharing stories about their time working for the armed forces. Thank you all for visiting our home, it has really been a great surprise for our residents.
Dasher the Friendship Dog
Our residents here at Meadow Park have enjoyed the first of many visits from friendship dog Dasher and his owner Simon. We have all loved spending time with Dasher watching him do tricks and our residents also had the opportunity to give Dasher some hard earner treats.
Fool's Gold duo
Our residents at Meadow Park have shown everyone how to sing and dance today at our home with live music from the singing duo Fools Gold. It was great to see our residents sing a-long to some of their favourite songs and share some of their favourite moves.
Grandparents Day
Residents at Meadow Park were gifted with handwritten cards and chocolates from all of the team at our home to celebrate this year’s Grandparents Day. Our residents were so moved by the kind gesture from our staff and couldn’t thank them enough for making the day extra special for everyone.
