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
Celebrating the 'Year of the Tiger'
Residents living within Meadow Park enjoyed celebrating Chinese New Year, the year of the Tiger. The ladies and gentleman took great delight with attempting to make decorations and fortune cookies in addition to taste testing a variety of Chinese goodies.
Residents enjoy the big bird watch
Residents have made fat balls filled with wild bird seed and mealworms to put out for the birds, in order to attract different species so we can help the great British bird watch team, monitoring different species that come into our garden.
Residents have helped each other and worked as a team and look forward to what we might see come into our gardens.
Daily life skills
It is a very important part of daily life for each and everyone to engage in activities which are meaningful for the individual. Valerie’s passion at home was to bake, Ruth was to knit and puzzling maintains an active and stimulate brain. Well done to all of our residents whom continue to enjoy their favourite pastimes

Community gifts
Residents and staff would like to say a huge Thankyou for these wonderfull activity packs kindly donated by Age UK Northumberland
With a magazine full of colouring pages, sudoku and crossword puzzles, and a packet of colouring pens, They have been greatly received and will certainly keep us busy. Puzzles and colouring are good for cognition and visual spatial reasoning, and most importantly they bring us all together.
Christmas baubles
Residents today have tried their hand at personalising their own Christmas decorations. We love arts & craft sessions here at Meadow Park, so thought we would put our mark on something special, something we can hang on our trees for years to come Ruth told us all about decorations in there day, and how basic but meaningful they were
