Activities at Glebefields Care Home

We had an another fantastic visit from Alfie at G-Fitness. He really connected with our residents, encouraging them to improve their fitness levels. We all know that mental and physical wellbeing are important for a fulfilling life, and Alfie's visit was just what we needed to boost our spirits and get moving. Thank you, Alfie, for your inspiring visit at our home.

We had a lovely trip out to Bloxham Nursery and Tea Room. It is such a beautiful place to visit. The tea room, with its patio overlooking a field of lavender, is especially charming. We can only imagine how wonderful it will be in late spring and summer when the lavender blooms. Our residents had a great time enjoying freshly brewed tea and coffee along with a slice of homemade cake. There were so many delicious options to choose from it was a treat for everyone.

Crafting Easter bonnets isn't just tradition, it's a lovely way to celebrate Easter's spirit of new beginnings. Our residents had a lovely time for making their own bonnets and wore them with pride all weekend. We even had a fun photoshoot where everyone wore their bonnets and smiled for the camera. It was a wonderful moment of togetherness and joy.

We had a St. Patrick's Day celebration today. We decked out our home with green decorations, raised a glass of Guinness, and spent the afternoon watching "St. Patrick: The Legend of Ireland." It was a perfect way to honour the day and reminisce about the rich history and traditions of Ireland. Cheers to good times and memorable moments.

Nutrition and Hydration Week 2024 got off to a great start, and residents were happy to be involved. Monday started off with a delicious breakfast to kick start our day. On Tuesday, we enjoyed some tasty 'Super Supper Snacks' thanks to our amazing chef. There were veggie samosas, spring rolls, cheesecake, cookies, and quiche – something for everyone to enjoy. Wednesday brought us together for a lovely tea party where we chatted over tea and snacks. It was a great way to relax and enjoy each other's company. Friday was all about trying new fruits, and our residents loved tasting the different flavours alongside some fresh juice. Saturday was Smoothie Day, and we whipped up some delicious blends for everyone to enjoy. Wrapping up the week on Sunday, we said goodbye to Nutrition and Hydration Week with some tasty snacks and treats. Our chef spoiled us with cheesy sticks, fresh fruits, juices, and, of course, some yummy cake and scones. It was a wonderful week filled with good food, drinks, and company.

We had such a very good time celebrating our lovely resident Marlene's 89th birthday. Her lifelong friends, fellow residents and all the staff gathered around to share in the joy and wish her well. Marlene blew out the candles and cut her birthday cake with a big smile on her face. We surprised her with a special gift and a lovely birthday card from all of us. Marlene said: "I couldn’t of wished for a more perfect day today, fully of surprises and treats with lots of special wishes, thank you'' Here's to many more wonderful years ahead for Marlene.
