Activities at Park View Care Home
Our home is always full of life, and we can thank our wonderful Activities Coordinators for this. Dedication to creating a unique and interesting activities programme is what sets us apart from other homes. We always take into consideration that some people would prefer to pursue their own interests, which is why our team strive to incorporative activities that cater to a wide range of tastes and hobbies. Our trips out are always fun and exciting as well, and residents are guaranteed to return with stories to tell their loved ones!

Pancake day at Parkview
Some residents enjoyed making their own pancakes in the kitchen on their community, Theodore in particular enjoyed making his pancakes and bringing his made ones to the manager and admin office, added extra strawberries of course.
The activities team made a beautiful trolley of all types of toppings for the pancakes!
Chocolate seemed to be the favourite in our home
VIP Pudding Club
What a great turnout for our latest Pudding Club! We were very pleased to welcome a range of special guests including Mayor Faruk Choudhury, the local Quality & Improvement Team, our Member of Parliament's office manager and many more.
Everyone was impressed with the range of delicious puddings created by the chef, staff team and the residents. Mayor Faruk talked with residents and staff about life at Park View, whilst everyone enjoyed a relaxed afternoon.
We look forward to exhibiting more of our wonderful baking abilities in the months ahead, so feel free to join us at our next Pudding Club meet.
Pudding Club
On the 26th January we invited family and friends to join us at Parkview for our pudding club. Staff made some old fashioned cakes with help from our residents, we also had family members make cakes. Barchester has 9 different homes taking part in the pudding club. Each care home is joining together and are being encouraged to make cakes with their residents. We are hoping to make a book with the top recipes that residents remember baking with their children or that has been passed down from their parents and grandparents.
On the day, our activities staff decorated the coffee lounge with old fashioned tea cups, plates and wine glasses. We invited families, and friends from our local church. Our residents came along and enjoyed tasting the cakes and reminiscing about the cakes they had made with their grandparents and great grandparents. We had cakes from different cultures so residents and guests could try cake they might not of had before. Our residents had such a lovely time and enjoyed eating cakes and puddings, and engaging with some new people, sharing stories and laughing. As one resident described it: "the good old days".
Christmas Photoshoot
We were lucky enough to have a visit from our local college. They came in and took pictures for our residents for Christmas. The residents sent these amazing pictures to their families as a Christmas cards.
A big thank you to the college, All of the pictures came out amazing!
