Activities at Bloomfield Care Centre
We host a wide range of activities and events here for residents to stimulate them both physically and mentally. Relatives can often be found taking part; for example, they will some times join us on minibus trips and to enjoy entertainers and musical events. There is regular involvement from the local community, with ministers holding services for us weekly, visits from our PAT dog, and a good volunteer network. Additionally, we have recently opened a Dementia Café, which is held on the fourth Tuesday of every month. Activities are an essential part of residents' lives, so we strive to keep them active with a focus on what they can achieve and that life here is fun.
Cathy Jallow
Hello, My name is Cathy and I am the Activities Coordinator at Bloomfield care centre.
I joined the team here at Bloomfield in August 2017 as carer and have since moved into Activities.
The Activities role is varied and one which allows me to plan amazing activities for our residents to ensure their days are filled with lots of fun, laughter and social interaction.
I am always looking for new activity ideas as well as new places to visit, so please give me a call to discuss our life enrichment programme further.

Life at Bloomfield Care Centre
Always Laugh When You Can
We are in full agreement with Lord Byron; this photo truly captures what we strive to achieve every day. What a Kodak moment!
Music Therapy
Music therapy is a key element of interaction and brings joys to the residents at Bloomfield, some of whom live with dementia. We are lucky to have our own Music Therapist, who engages and interacts with residents to bring these smiles and fun to the home.
Animal Rescue
Thank you to Sperring Court Animal Rescue for coming into Bloomfield and letting us meet various owls and birds of prey!
Balloon Modelling
Residents here at Bloomfield enjoyed learning how to create different flowers, animals and objects out of balloons. It was a great afternoon and it was especially fun watching the expert in action creating these wonderful objects!
