Activities at Glebefields Care Home

Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.

Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience, and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.

Hi, I'm Ashitha, and I'm proud to be part of the team at Glebefields Care Home as an Activities Assistant.

Happy Easter

We celebrated Easter with our residents and staff. Day was filled with lots of memorable moments and enjoyable activities. We began the day with a special surprise for our residents - Easter Eggs for all.

We were honoured to welcome Lindy Bridgeman from St Peter Church, Drayton Ironstone Benefice Oxfordshire, who shared Easter blessings and presented our residents with lovely plants. Their presence truly added to the blessings and joy of the day.

Our chef prepared a delicious Easter lunch that everyone thoroughly enjoyed. Later in the afternoon, we gathered for a relaxed movie session accompanied by Easter cake and afternoon tea, creating a cosy atmosphere for all to enjoy. Our home looked charming with homemade decorations, crafted by our staff and residents. Decorated bonnets, Easter egg baskets, the blessing of Easter was felt in every corner of our homely home.

From our Glebefields family to yours, we extend our lovely wishes for a blessed Easter. Happy Easter.

Church Service

A blessed day we had at our gathering at Glebefields. Pastor David and friends from Banbury’s Evangelical Church joined us for a wonderful time of Easter. We explored the beautiful stories of this special time, sang joyful hymns, and said The Lord's Prayer together. Grateful for moments like these that bring us closer together in faith and fellowship. Wishing everyone a blessed Easter day.

Easter Baking Fun

Having a fun time baking and decorating Easter biscuits. We made biscuits shaped like bunnies, carrots, and eggs. They have just come out of the oven and cooled down, and now we are getting ready to decorate them. We have got some lovely pastel-coloured cream to make them special for our Easter day.

Easter Cake competition

Our amazing residents and staff at Glebefields are all buzzing with excitement as we get ready for Barchester Healthcare's Easter Cake competition. Our cake is a real treat – it's a delicious Plain Victoria sponge cake with lemon, raspberry jam, and tasty butter icing. Our lovely resident Joan has decorated our cake with Easter colours, adding her talent to make the cake amazing.
