Activities at Glebefields Care Home

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, a chance for people to Wear It Pink and get involved in raising funds. At Glebefields staff and residents spent time baking and decorating beautiful pink inspired cakes of all shapes and sizes for their bake sale and hand crafted ribbons for people to wear to show their support. Sadly, we all know someone affected by breast cancer - over 55,000 people are diagnosed with the disease each year. On Wear it Pink day (20/10/23) we did just that Glebefields was a parade of pink! 

General Manager, Nisha Shaji said: “Breast cancer is a cause close to many of our staff and residents’ hearts so everyone was keen to take part in fundraising activities and do their bit. We are proud to donate the money we raise to help fund research and try to make a difference.”

Glebefields care home residents and colleagues wish to congratulate Activities Coordinator; Kay Boland on receiving Employee of the Month.

Kay was nominated by her colleagues and the residents of Glebefields for working extremely hard to ensure our residents life enrichment needs are met through innovative activities.

General Manager Nisha Shaji said "Kay is very caring and creative in her selection of entertainers and the activities program she tailors to the residents of Glebefields including organising regular and exciting trips out. Well done Kay you deserve to be in the spotlight."

Our recent flower club meeting took on an exciting twist with a Halloween theme! Members, including Cynthia, Ivy, Helen, Minnie, and others, came together to create spooky and enchanting floral arrangements that added an extra touch of magic to the season. Your creative contributions and the lively atmosphere made it a memorable experience. Let's keep the Halloween spirit alive as we look forward to more festive moments in the future!

During our special clay art session, a significant snow clay sculpture was created, along with numerous Christmas decoration items and clay pots adorned with exquisite flower punch designs. Pam, Marlene, Ivy, and others derived immense enjoyment from crafting these artistic pieces. Their presence and enthusiasm contributed to the overall success of the event, and we eagerly anticipate many more such creative endeavours in the future.

Our recent Open Day was a really special day we won't forget! We began with a fun clay art session in the morning and then had the pleasure of listening to Tristan Pate, a talented guitarist who sang beautiful songs in the afternoon. Marlene, June, and Pam, three of our lovely residents, told us, "We enjoyed the songs so much that we sang along with Tristan in the afternoon." Your presence made our Open Day even better.

We had a triple celebration last weekend, honouring the birthdays of June, Mary, and Helen! The day was filled with delightful gifts, scrumptious cake-cutting, and joyful birthday songs. Three times the happiness, three times the fun!
