Activities at Brookfield Care Home
Our Activities coordinator dedicates her time on getting feedback from our residents of what they like to do. We have introduced paper mornings which involves group discussions and an active mind, and we also have a variety of entertainers that come in on a weekly basis. We hold a residents quiz once a week as it is one of our more popular activities, we now call it the Big Quiz due to its popularity.
It is important that we involve the community and family in many of our activities. We have the local rugby club heritage centre coming in once a week to do Bocci (indoor bowls) and seated exercise. We also hold cheese and wine evenings for family and residents which are very popular. Here at Brookfield we pride ourselves on the fabulous bond our activity coordinator has with all our residents as they are as happy to see her each morning as she is to see her friends.

Life at Brookfield Care Home
Residents enjoy traditional games afternoon
Residents at Brookfield enjoyed a reminiscent games afternoon in the library. As the ladies worked together to complete the jigsaw they chatted about their favourite childhood games including hopscotch, dominoes and cards. Once the final piece of the jigsaw had been placed the ladies sat back to enjoy a refreshing cup of tea.
Residents enjoy virtual trip to Italy
Residents at Brookfield care home in Lymm virtually travelled to a location of their choice for a day trip on 17th September.
Residents were asked where they would like to visit for the day and chose Italy. Residents chose Italy because the warm weather, the cuisine, the architecture.
Residents enjoyed touring and learning about the monuments, historic attractions in Italy using google maps, the internet, virtual monument tours on their tablet. They saw one of the must-see attractions in the city of Rome is the Trevi Fountain.
Residents create rock garden
Residents of Brookfield have been busy painting rocks to form a rockery at the bottom of their garden to add a splash of colour, taking inspiration from the Lymm Rocks gift during lock-down.
A splash of colour
