Activities at Meadowbeck Care Home

We hosted our cheese & wine evening where everyone gathered together taking the opportunity to socialise and make new friends.

Everyone got to try a selection of tasty cheeses accompanied with a selection of wines to suit each individual’s preferences, alcohol free sparkling beverages were on offer for those that prefer.

The wensleydale with cranberries and creamy brie were the most popular choice of the evening, whilst a couple of our ladies like a blue cheese.

The evening was a great success with lots of laughter, and it was lovely to hear the cheerful chatter.

Why not come along and join us for our next one.

Residents and team members were delighted when we welcomed Joe, from joesowls encounters and mobile zoo in to the home with his two Alpacas Mr Bubbles and Colin.

Mr Bubbles and Colin went around the home where our residents and team members were only too happy to make a fuss of them and chatting with Joe to learn all about them, they were ever so friendly, it was lovely to see the delight they brought to our residents (and staff).

We had such a wonderful day at our summer fair which was held in our garden with the sun shining, residents gathered together from around the home joined by their families and friends in the community, where everyone enjoyed entertainment from the wonderful Maggie Baker and fun games provided.

It was great to see all the children playing having fun with the garden games provided, with our residents and the children making  sure they got their family and staff members in the stocks!

Our ladies joined Tina in the lounge for the evening for a little pamper and relaxation time where they experienced a relaxing hand soak, using sensory beads with a soothing hand massage to follow.

The ladies chatted together with a glass of wine as they decided from a selection of nail polishes, taking in the scents of the essential oils diffuser and light, as relaxing music played softly in the background.  The ladies commented saying what a relaxed feel to the evening and smelt like been at a spa.

What a wonderful evening!

Residents across our services had a fantastic time joining Mandy Morrow for a virtual walking tour to learn about the ‘Herstory’ of Mayfair. The Mayfair of Nightingales may be long gone but it still holds a 20th century charm. Birthplace to the late Queen Elizabeth II, home to one of WWII's most decorated female war heroes and a tale of a wealthy Aristocrat and one of France's favourite designers.

We were delighted to take a walk down memory lane and discover stories from one of London's most iconic areas.  The experience was truly enjoyed by all.

Residents from around the home came together this afternoon to take part in their u-Sit fitness class with Mark, the class is a gentle chair based exercise to music session.

After a gentle warm up exercise Mark introduced a tabata workout, and our residents enjoyed trying something new.

This is always a very popular and enjoyable class that is good for our residents, and is always adapted for all individuals’ abilities, great for our resident’s well-being, independence and self-worth.

We had a great afternoon and it was nice to have new faces join us for the first time and they thoroughly enjoyed it, not forgetting those family members who came along also.
