Celebrating life at Barchester

On Sunday the residents were treated to a lovely cheese platter with wine while some also enjoyed watching the Grand prix along with some family members. The experience was even more special as it took place in our newly refurbished Activities Room. We look forward to inviting more friends and family and the local community to this amazing communal space.

Join us on the 6^th September when we open our doors for everyone to view the homes completed refurbishment.

Today we had another of our very popular flower arranging sessions. Our residents simply love to set up our numerus vases with an array of seasonal blooms. The sweet fragrances flood the communal rooms putting a smile on everyone’s faces.

Our residents had a fantastic day out at the summer fête hosted by our lovely sister home, Chacombe Park..It was a joyful afternoon filled with fun, laughter, and sunshine with plenty of stalls to browse, games to play, and live entertainment to enjoy. From sweet treats to music and friendly faces all around, there was something for everyone.

A big thank you to Chacombe Park for such a warm welcome and a wonderfully organised event – our residents came back with smiles and happy memories!

What a wonderful time we had at Glebefields Care Home today with the amazing Alfie from G Fitness!

Alfie’s energy, humour, and kindness made it an afternoon to remember. Thank you, Alfie, for bringing joy, fitness, and so many laughs to our home. We can’t wait to see you again soon.

At Glebefields Care Home, we love making dreams happen for our residents – and yesterday was a truly special moment for our Resident Ambassador, Joan Bailey.

Joan’s biggest wish was to see her favourite staff member and our much-loved former admin assistant, Dinesh.Dinesh came to visit! The reunion was filled with smiles, laughter, and happy memories. Joan was absolutely overjoyed, and it was beautiful to see such a heartfelt connection between them.

Moments like these are what make Glebefields feel like family.

What better way to celebrate International Beer Day than in our beautiful garden, enjoying great company and a glass of something refreshing!

Our residents not only enjoyed tasting their favourite beers but also had fun learning a little about the history of this beloved drink – from its ancient beginnings to the many unique styles we enjoy today. It was a day filled with laughter, stories, and a few "cheers" all around.

We celebrated our lovely resident Pauline’s birthday. It was a joyful day at Glebefields Care Home as we gathered together to enjoy Pauline’s special day with warm wishes, thoughtful gifts, and a surprise cake cutting!

We were thrilled to host our first-ever Staff Sports Day here at Badgeworth Court Care Centre – a fun-filled afternoon dedicated to promoting teamwork, communication, and camaraderie among our incredible staff. The day featured a range of light-hearted and competitive events, including the egg and spoon race, sprinting, and sack race, which brought laughter and enthusiasm all around.

Each participant was proudly awarded a custom Badgeworth Court Sports Day medal in recognition of their spirit and participation. The celebrations concluded with a delicious BBQ prepared by our talented in-house chef, creating the perfect ending to a fantastic day.

A huge well done to everyone who took part and made the event such a success!

We were thrilled to welcome back Zoolab, one of our residents’ favourite visiting groups, for another unforgettable animal encounter! This time, residents met some truly fascinating creatures including Millie the millipede, a giant African land snail, a gentle snake, and more.

The session was not only hands-on but also educational. Residents were encouraged to ask questions and showed great curiosity as they learned amazing facts about these animals. Many even had the opportunity to hold the creatures—an experience that sparked excitement and awe throughout the room.

One resident shared, “I never thought I’d hold a snake at my age—it was surprisingly smooth and calm!”

Zoolab visits bring joy, stimulate the mind, and offer a unique way for residents to connect with nature.
