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.

International Flower Day

Glebefields celebrated International Flower Day, taking a moment to appreciate the beauty and significance of flowers. Even though the day has passed, let's enjoy the beautiful colours and positive energy they bring to our lives. During our celebration, we enjoyed creating numerous flower vases with our lovely residents. Each vase showcase the creativity and happiness within our community.

Vintage Ruby Entertains

Vintage Ruby brought beautiful tunes to Glebefields, taking us on a musical journey from the 1920s to the 1960s. Our resident Marlene and her friend Susan even sang along, and everyone, including residents and staff, clapped along with the music. It was a wonderful afternoon filled with music and happiness, creating a truly joyful time together!
