Activities at Hollyfields Care Home
Our Activities programme is formulated using resident requests and feedback from resident meetings. Residents are involved in planning the programme with things they they would like to do throughout the year. There is a mixture of activities that take place including both group and 1-1 engagement. Residents at Hollyfields particularly enjoy movement to music activities enabling them to increase their level of physical abilities and have fun at the same time, whilst others enjoy musical singalongs and food based activities throughout the week.
We have a mini bus that enables us to reconnect our residents with their community in ways that suite themselves as individuals. This can be achieved by visiting local farms, Georgian towns, local attractions and even the local public house for lunch with friends. Hollyfields have a great relationship with their local community and have visits from local organisations such as The Wyre Community Land Trust and are currently undertaking a 12 week funded project from Arts Etc. Residents at Hollyfields enjoy Pet Therapy visits from their pet rabbit 'Thumper' and like to help clean and feed him daily. Relatives can be encouraged to join us for activities and again are very supportive with delivering theme days and fundraising events within the home.

Life at Hollyfields Care Home
Saturday Night Fever
We had a great time at 'Movie Afternoon' recently as we celebrated the Bee Gee's number 1 album, Saturday Night Fever, by watching the movie accompanied by popcorn, sweets and chocolates. A great time was had by all!
Burns Night Celebrations
We had a great time celebrating Robert Burns. Bagpiper Mark opened the afternoon up with live music, whilst the residents enjoyed delicious Scottish dishes and treats.
Friday afternoon with music from Martin
Residents enjoyed a Friday afternoon sing along with some old classics with our new resident musical entertainer, Martin. Everyone had a great time singing and moving along to the music.
Martin will be joining us every 4 weeks with a mixture of musical entertainment for our residents to enjoy!
Remembrance 'Poppy' Stones
The gentlemen of Ivy House have started to paint poppies on stones for remembrance day. We can't wait to see the final pieces, once they've been varnished and protected from the autumn elements they will be placed in the garden as a tribute to call the war fallen.
A Cracking All Hallows Eve
On All Hallows' Eve our Ivy House residents enjoyed a themed arts & crafts session, whereby they made and wrote Halloween cards to send to their relatives, followed by a special spooky celebration lunch with goodie bags and party crackers.
Happy Halloween Everyone
Our wonderful residents immersed themselves in the 'spirit' of Halloween all week leading up to the 31st. They carved pumpkins and had great fun hitting the witches’ hat sweet filled Piñata. The home was full of giggles, and conversation on how gooey and messy carving pumpkins really is!
