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.
Ashitha Dinesh
Hi, I'm Ashitha, and I'm proud to be part of the team at Glebefields Care Home as an Activities Assistant. I joined the Glebefields family in 2023, having earned my master’s degree in electrical engineering from Coventry University. Despite my engineering background, I bring a fresh perspective to enriching the lives of our residents. I enjoy creating an environment where they can have fun, connect with others, and stay mind active. Together with my co-workers, I'm dedicated to making every moment special for our residents, bringing happiness and meaning to their lives. It's an honour to be part of such a compassionate and dedicated team at Glebefields Care Home.

Life at Glebefields Care Home
Celebrating Our Amazing Carers
At Glebefields Care Home, we celebrated Carers Week with a wonderful gathering, featuring a barbecue in the garden and a cake-cutting ceremony, honouring our dedicated carers and residents. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the carers in the Glebefields family for their tireless efforts and compassion.
Carers Week is an annual event that raises awareness of caring, highlights the challenges carers face, and recognises the vital contribution they make to our residents, families, and communities across the UK. This year's theme is 'Putting Carers on the Map', aiming to raise awareness and recognition for carers' immense contributions, especially in an election year.
We appreciate all that you do to brighten the lives of those in your care. Thank you so much for all our lovely carers in our Glebefields family.
Celebrating King Charles III's Official Birthday
We celebrated King Charles III's official birthday in our Glebefields care home with decorations. We started by raised a glass of sherry and the afternoon tea party was great. Our chef made a variety of snacks, fresh juice, and hot drinks. We had a quiz competition about King Charles. It was a very nice time with family members also joining us. What a wonderful day of celebration.
The sun's out, and so are the smiles
We are soaking up the warmth and taking in the stunning views, all while learning some buzz-worthy facts about our tiny friends - the bees. Did you know there are 24 different types of bees? Mind blown, right?
Celebrating 200 Years of Cadbury
We had a Virtual Live Event with the nations favourite chocolate brand, Cadbury, we were happy to discover the fascinating story of Cadbury's remarkable success, from its humble beginnings to its 200th anniversary celebrations in 2024. The carefully sorted archive materials brought to life the history of this beloved British brand, which has been a part of people's lives for generations, in both big and small moments. The brand's rich heritage influenced a wave of nostalgic memories among our residents, each with their own cherished Cadbury experiences.
To coincide with Dementia Awareness Week, Cadbury partnered with the Alzheimer's Society and generously provided every Barchester Home in the country with two wonderful boxes of Dairy Milk chocolates. It was a very lovely and nostalgic event that everyone enjoyed.
Minibus trip out
We had a wonderful day out for our residents. We visited Barn Farm Antiques Centre, where they enjoyed browsing through the various antiques and vintage items on display. It was happy to see them reminiscing and sharing stories about the past. And we headed to a nearby cafe for a hot drink and some delicious cake. It was the perfect way to round off a lovely spring day.
Happy 88th birthday dear Cath
We had a great time celebrating with her today. Cath loved blowing out the candles on her birthday cake, made especially by our chef. We all sang Happy Birthday and she was very Happy. She was so happy with her cake and surprise gifts - it made her day very special. and also her boyfriend who joined the celebration too.
We hope Cath had an amazing day and felt loved and celebrated. Lots of love from everyone at Glebefields Care Home - Barchester Healthcare.
