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
Barchester’s Big Quiz
We’ve linked up with all Barchester care homes and hospitals nationwide for Barchester’s Big Quiz. Our residents engaged in a variety of questions ranging from historical trivia to visual puzzles and brainteasers. We all had a fantastic time and enjoyed some friendly competition.
Musical Entertainment
We had a musical performance by the music duo, Rackman and Duo. They treated us to wonderful classical arrangements, playing everything from Bach to Handel and musicals. Our residents were completely transfixed and couldn't stop talking about how wonderfully delightful it all was. Thank you, Rackman and Duo, for such a memorable performance.

We had a lovely afternoon at Glebefields Care Home - Barchester Healthcare, enjoying a musical entertainment by Fiona Harrison - A Voice in a Million. Fiona's Easter selection of songs and stories was simply beautiful, and it brought smiles to the faces of all our residents and staff. The home was filled with happiness as everyone clapped and sang along with Fiona, making it a happy afternoon for all us.
Easter Celebration and Egg Hunt
A big thank you to everyone who came along to our Easter Egg Hunt at Glebefields. It was such a fun afternoon, full of laughter and excitement. Kids, residents, staff, families, and friends all joined in the fun. We had a great time searching for Easter eggs, showing off our homemade Easter Bonnets, and playing games together.
Our lovely resident, Joan, won first prize for her Easter Bonnet. And of course, everyone else received prizes too, because everyone did such a fantastic job. We enjoyed some delicious treats at our afternoon tea. Thanks to your support, we raised money for our residents' fund, which will help us plan more outings in the future. Your kindness means a lot to us. A big shoutout to everyone who made our Easter Celebration so special. Let's keep spreading joy and making memories together. See you at the next event.
Happy Birthday Christine
Today we celebrated our lovely resident Christine's 76th birthday and had the loveliest time. Seeing her face with surprise and happiness was really amazing.
