Activities at Glebefields Care Home

Our super fluffy and calming therapy dog; Daisy visited this week to offer our residents plenty of cuddles. She's such a tonic, wagging her tail through the home, in and out of every room to ensure we all get a fuss and she doesn't miss out on any little treats.

With all the recent sunshine and rain showers the crops are in bloom and baring fruit. Our residents had a wonderful time at Rectory Farm PYO gently picking their own punnets full of juicy strawberries.

The farm has 45 acres of colourful produce from courgettes to gooseberries, however, it was the fresh strawberries that took our residents fancy. Sold by the punnet Minnie, Cynthia, Helen and Stan had a wonderful time picking lots of juicy strawberries for afternoon tea.

General Manager Nisha Shaji at Glebefields care home, said: “One of our residents' favourite things to do in July is watching Wimbledon, being able to go and pick their own fresh fruits to have with cream made the tennis sets even sweeter!”

Enjoying a Delightful Outing to Marks and Spencer!

Pam, Ivy, Marlene, and our dedicated staff had a lovely afternoon as we ventured out to Marks and Spencer for a delightful outing. We indulged in the finest coffees and delectable cakes, savouring the flavours and relishing the company.

The outing provided a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the simple pleasures of good food and great conversation in a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Pam, Ivy, and Marlene embraced the outing with joy, creating cherished memories and deepening friendships along the way.

At Glebefields Care Home, we believe in creating meaningful experiences for our residents, fostering a sense of community and engagement.

Today we embraced the tradition of celebrating 'National Cream Tea Day' with an afternoon of indulgence. Cream scones, finger sandwiches, Battenberg cake, jam tarts, and an array of nibbles graced our tables, offering a delightful feast for the senses. Accompanied by ample servings of tea, our taste buds revelled in the harmonious flavours that filled the air.

To enhance the festivities, engaging quizzes sparked friendly competition and lively conversations amongst residents. The atmosphere was one of shared enjoyment and camaraderie as we celebrated together.Here's to honouring the timeless tradition of cream tea and cherishing the moments of togetherness it brings!"

Inspirational Visit from Pastor David Cooke and Friends

Glebefields Care Home had the pleasure of hosting Pastor David Cooke and his friends from Banbury Evangelical Church for a meaningful and uplifting gathering. Residents and staff had a lovely conversation filled with words of wisdom, accompanied by the beautiful melodies of hymns.

The presence of Pastor David Cooke and his friends brought a sense of warmth and spiritual connection to our community. Their words of encouragement and shared experiences resonated deeply, offering solace and inspiration to all in attendance.

Together, we joined in singing hymns that touched our hearts and uplifted our spirits. It was a time of reflection, gratitude, and the sharing of faith.

In the month of June, we had the joy of celebrating not just one, but two special birthdays at Glebefields Care Home. On June 8th, we gathered to honor Sheila's birthday, followed by a delightful celebration on June 12th for Ivy's special day.

Surrounded by their loved ones, fellow residents, and dedicated staff, Sheila and Ivy blew out the candles on their beautifully decorated birthday cakes. As a surprise, we presented Sheila and Ivy with special gifts to make their birthdays even more memorable.

Here's to Sheila, Ivy, and all our June birthdays! May the year ahead be filled with happiness, good health, and countless cherished memories.
