Activities at Glebefields Care Home

We had another fantastic Scrabble Club session at Glebefields care home. Residents gathered for friendly competition and wordplay. Our residents Joan, Sheila, Ivy, and Pauline had a fantastic time at our Scrabble Club. It was a joy to see them engage in friendly competition while exercising their minds.

If you missed out on the fun this time, don't worry. Our Scrabble Club meets regularly, offering residents plenty of opportunities to enjoy this classic game together. Join us next time for more laughs and friendly competition!

We celebrated Valentine's Day with a tea party at Glebefields Care Home - Barchester Healthcare. Couples, along with our beloved residents and staff, joined in the tea party.

Our manager, Nisha Shaji, presented the couples with Valentine's cakes and extended warm wishes to all. Chefs Bose Jose and Vincent Thomas prepared a delightful buffet treat for the occasion.

Everyone received Valentine's Day gifts from Glebefields, spreading love and joy all around. Our lovely couples Angela and Mick, David and Christine, Joan and Tony, and Rod and Jennifer expressed their heartfelt gratitude for the beautiful and happy moments shared and the warm wishes extended to them. Love was truly in the air.

We had a celebrating Pancake Day with our team! Everyone, including both residents and staff, gathered together for some pancake flipping fun, and it was a joy to see everyone's smiles.

Our General Manager, Nisha, even challenged us to see who could flip the highest! Congratulations to Dinesh, our admin assistant, for achieving the highest flip! As we flipped our pancakes, we took a moment to reflect on the history of this tradition. Topped with our favourite toppings, everyone enjoyed their pancakes to the fullest!

Glebefields had a great time with Kathryn Delve, a flower expert, over Zoom. She showed us how to make beautiful flower arrangements for Valentine's Day. We followed her lead and added roses and carnations to our creations. The online session helps us learn new things and also helps us remember what we learned before.

Kathryn said, "These workshops always bring me such joy. It's fulfilling to see people create something beautiful and find happiness in the process."

Our dear resident Ivy said, "Joining these sessions brings back nice memories and helps me get better at what I do. It's a special time for learning and practising."

We're proud of our displays and have placed them around the home for everyone to enjoy before Valentine's Day.

We had an amazing time at Glebefields recently when Lucia paid us a visit with her adorable furry friends! From fluffy bunnies to a playful dog named Coco, our residents had a lovely time cuddling and playing with these wonderful animals.

Joan, Diane, and Edith Minnie couldn't stop smiling as they interacted with our furry guests, showering them with love and treats. Joan, our lovely resident, shared, ''Spending time with these petting animals is so refreshing! It really lifts my happiness and energises me.''

Our staff also joined in on the fun, sharing laughter and creating unforgettable memories. It was a day filled with happy moments and laughter, showing the special bond between humans and animals.

We had an entertainment by Nick Golden, and our residents had a wonderful time singing along to familiar tunes from the 50s. During the performance, Mike, the son of one of our residents, joined in the fun by taking on the role of a farmer in the classic song "Run Rabbit Run". He even got our activities Coordinator Kay up to dance too! The room was filled with smiles and laughter, creating a joyful atmosphere enjoyed by all!
