Activities at Meadowbeck 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.
Tina Holmes
Hi, I’m Tina, and I am the Activities Coordinator here at Meadowbeck.
I began working at the home as a Care Assistant in 1999. In 2014, I changed my role to Social Support Worker, which I enjoyed, as it involved supporting residents at Meadowbeck in their daily lifestyles.
I then became the Activities Coordinator in May 2017. I love working with our residents and getting to know them and their families. In addition to supporting them maintain an active lifestyle I always ensure to personally get to know each resident when they move in with us to support them in the continuation of any hobbies or interests the might have.
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
Life at Meadowbeck Care Home
Easter celebrations
Staff and residents at Barchester’s Meadowbeck care home, in York, celebrated Easter with a whole host of themed activities including crafts decorating Easter eggs, Easter bonnets, Easter egg hunt and a special Easter themed bingo.
Residents at Meadowbeck enjoyed an eggs-tensive range of Easter activities, from decorating their Easter Bonnets and having an Easter Bonnet parade, egg painting, to joining in the fun on the Easter egg hunt, we had a visit from our little Easter bunny, who helped to hand out all the chocolate bunnies to our residents. Residents also tucked in to a delicious Easter meal of roast lamb followed by Easter cake prepared by the home’s head chef Tim, finished the afternoon with Easter word puzzles with delicious hot cross buns.
