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
Maritime Museum
Residents Gerry, Colin and Bill have enjoyed a visit to our local Maritime Museum for a day full of reminiscing. Our gentlemen tucked into an amazing and delicious afternoon tea prepared by the museum before taking in the local history around them. Everyone had a great time and all shared how the trip brought back so many childhood memories for them and they can’t wait to visit again.
Memory Walk
Meadow Park care home in Bedlington has taken part in a Memory Walk with others from their local community to show their support and raise funds towards Alzheimer’s research. The leisurely stroll took place in South Shield’s with residents, their relatives and staff showing their support from home in aid of a charity that means a lot to those pounding the pavements. After the walk, staff raised a glass to celebrate their efforts in raising £420 towards Alzheimer’s research and to those from Meadow Park for their continuous support throughout the event.
History of Botanical garden
Our homes enjoyed a wonderful virtual tour of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh with Community Engagement Manager, Charlotte Walker, and Botanic Cottage Operations Co-ordinator, Laura Gallagher.
The residents were thrilled to learn more about the history of the beautiful Garden, which is now a home to an impressive plant collection from around the world.
Charlotte and Laura also gave a demonstration of making fresh herbal tea and were happy to answer our questions. The virtual experience was truly enjoyed by all who joined.
World's Biggest Coffee morning
We would like to thank everyone for supporting our home at our Biggest Coffee Morning event in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support. Our residents had such a great time listening to live music from singer Mark McCann and it was great to see everyone singing, dancing and having fun together and we can’t wait to see everyone again.
Roald Dahl
Staff at Meadow Park have gone all out for this year’s Roald Dahl Day by dressing up as their favourite book characters. Our residents had a great time guessing what book our staff had chosen their characters from and sharing which characters they liked the most.
Beautiful bouquets
Our homes had a fantastic time joining members of the Wallace Collection for an amazing sensory session.
During the live virtual experience, our residents explored one of the museum’s most beautiful Dutch flower paintings and learnt new drawing techniques.
We cannot wait to put our creative skills to a test and produce beautiful paintings of our own.
Everyone enjoyed the lovely talk, we all had lots of fun and it’s given us plenty of ideas.
