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.

'Sisters Day' Celebrations
On the 4th August we celebrated 'Sisters Day' at Glebefields. A day in which to celebrate one of those very special bonds, one that has sparked many stories, movies, and songs - the bond of sisterhood.
If you don’t have a sister in your life biologically, you may have someone who has become like a sister to you, and this is the perfect day to pay tribute to that. There are also half-sisters and stepsisters, sisters come in many different shapes and guises, Sisters Day is about celebrating them all!
Today our residents shared their sister stories with each other, and talked about what they did with their sisters when they were younger, like going to school and dances together. Staff organised a lovely party with plenty of sweet treats and one of chef's special cakes to share.
General Manager, Nisha said: “Residents at Glebefields were keen to get involved in Sisters Day celebrations. It was lovely for the residents to be able to spend quality time reminiscing and sharing stories of their sister siblings. I think it made everyone realise just how amazing it is to have such special sisters.”
