Activities at Glebefields Care Home

We had an amazing time celebrating the start of the new year 2025 with our residents, staff, and friends and families here at Glebefields Care Home. Our New Year's Eve party was a big success, with fantastic entertainment from Sparkie and Sprite. 

Our residents and staff had a lovely dancing, singing. Throughout the week, we also enjoyed games, quizzes, and fun activities, as well as delicious festive food and treats. 

We're so grateful for the love and support of our community and for the wonderful memories we made together during our New Year's celebrations. Wishing you all a very happy new year from Glebefields family.

Glebefields was filled with happiness and laughter as residents, families, and staff came together for a wonderful Christmas lunch.

A huge thank you to our amazing residents, families, and staff for making this Christmas so special. Wishing you all a happy holiday season filled with love, laughter, and happiness!

We are thrilled to honour Sundar Raj Kallidoss, our outstanding host, for winning the Divisional "Learner of the Year" award at the Barchester Cares National Awards ceremony.

Sundar's dedication and passion earned him a well-deserved spot at the prestigious Manchester ceremony. Thank you, Barchester, for live-streaming the event and sharing Sundar's success with all. 

Sundar, we are honoured to celebrate your 'Learner of the Year' award with you. Cheers to your continued success.

Glebefields care home hosted a wonderful cultural evening to celebrate Diwali, the Indian "Festival of Lights." 

Residents, their families, and our dedicated staff came together for a special evening with cultural pride, delicious food, and colourful decorations. All staff members dressed in traditional clothing and brought homemade dishes to share, creating a rich variety of flavours. 

Everyone enjoyed spicy samosas, crispy onion bhajis, and a selection of Indian sweets like barfi, milk pedas, and laddus. A special addition was the Romanian Cozonac, bringing even more cultural flavour to the evening. Head Chef Bose Jose and the hospitality team also prepared a range of traditional Indian dishes, which added to the wonderful celebration.

Care Assistant Shilpa shared the story of Diwali with everyone, explaining the meaning of the festival and how it celebrates the victory of light over darkness. Activities Assistants Ashitha, Camyrn, and staff members Shilpa, Akhil, and Mercy worked hard to decorate our home with beautiful and colourful decorations. They used marigold flowers, garlands, diyas, and candles to symbolize the triumph of good over evil.

It was a memorable evening of unity and happiness, reminding us all of the power of light, hope, togetherness, and cultural pride.

Halloween was a special day here at Glebefields care home. We decorated every corner with spooky decorations, from creepy scenes inside to pumpkins glowing outside. 

We also shared the story behind Halloween, a tradition that started long ago as a way to celebrate the end of harvest and welcome the winter season. 

Our favourite part was welcoming children from the village who came by in their costumes for trick-or-treating. 

Residents and staff had a wonderful time giving out treats and joining in the Halloween excitement. Thank you to everyone who made this Halloween special!
