Activities at Cherry Trees Care Home
Our activities team are constantly striving to mentally and physically stimulate those we support by organising group and individual social events for anyone and everyone to participate in. There are regular outings in the minibus to nearby places of interest, including the local theatre, as well as visits from Pat dogs, musicians and entertainers. We also host bingo, quiz and knitter natter afternoons that we encourage relatives and the local community to attend. Our Gentleman's Club is also open to non-residents every Thursday afternoon from 2:30pm, join us for a tipple of your choice, we have plenty of snacks and chats. For the ladies, our beauty salon provides; hairdressing and nail pampering, you too can enjoy a drink and some well-deserved 'me' time. Activities are one of the most important aspects of a care home, so it is essential that our team are dedicated to ensuring that residents are entertained, and that life at Cherry Trees is fun and active.

Life at Cherry Trees Care Home
Ice Cream and Lollies for all
Our activities coordinator; Jo-Anne and Chloe Brookes, a carer on our Memory Lane community created a unique way to treat all our lovely residents to a nostalgia ice cream without leaving home. Everyone likes to hear the ice cream tunes coming through the corridors on those sunny days ready to keep the staff and residents hydrated.
Tailored to invigorate or relax
As part of our weekly activities program, Jo-Anne offers our residents both music and movement for those wishing to get active, and a wonderful sensory session using magical light-shows and soothing musical rhythms helping them to relax.
Positive Words of Kindness
The Cherry Trees staff and residents have been overwhelmed by the many cards, pictures and letters they've received from the local community in Alcester. Their 'Positivity' board is bursting with goodwill messages and thanks. The staff are encouraged by each and every message, and send their love and best wishes back to everyone to stay safe.
Jigsaw Fun
Sarah on Memory Lane, spent time with our residents helping with their hand - eye coordination by supporting them to complete jigsaw puzzles. The look of achievement on their faces when the full picture appeared was so special to see.
