Activities at Farley Gardens 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 an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.

Read our brochure ‘Life-enriching activities’ for more information about life in our care homes.

Celebrating life at Farley Gardens Care Home

Great fun at the Garden Centre!

This week our residents had a lovely visit to Squire's Garden Centres, where we ambled around soaking up the calming atmosphere.

The residents had requested we come here to choose some more flowers for the gardens, so this is what we did. Of course all good garden centre visits end with tea and cake and this was no different.

A trip to Lily Hill Park

We recently took the residents to visit Lily Hill Park and they had such a wonderful time.

The park is run by Bracknell Forest Council and it is kept beautifully. We explored the area, enjoyed the scenery and most of all, enjoyed each others company!

Lily Hill Park is particularly special to us as we decided to name our Memory Lane community, here at Farley gardens after it. We wanted the name to reflect a local landmark that people love and Lily Hill was it!

5 Star Hygiene Rating!

We have passed a recent inspection by the Food Standards Agency with 5 Stars, the best possible rating.

The Food Standards Agency visited the home at the end of July and the home was rated 5 Stars with nothing to improve upon.

The report concluded that Farley Gardens provided sufficient evidence of high standards throughout the home and that all staff knew what their individual and team roles were to ensure that the standards were met.

Our General Manager Simona said: “We are delighted that Farley Gardens was rated 5 Stars following the Food Standard Agency’s most recent inspection. The team at Farley Gardens work so hard to ensure the home has the very best hygiene levels so it is wonderful to have everyone’s hard work recognised.”

Flower Arranging

Our residents have been putting their Floristry skills to the test during a fun and hands on flower arranging session!

Our lead activity's co-coordinator Fleur guided our residents through the session however they really took the lead themselves and produced some wonderful displays. It was great to see everyone together and getting involved and they all now have beautiful floral arrangements around the home to admire.

Our Boots Memory Box

We want to say a huge thank you to Boots UK for sending us this wonderful memory box for our residents, particularly those living with dementia. It is hard to describe in words how incredible the smells, the colours and the feel of things in this box are.

Boots launched the initiative this Dementia Action Week (2025) to spark conversation and rekindle memories for those affected by dementia. To find out more, please look at their website https://www.boots-uk.com/.../caring.../boots-memory-boxes/

We cannot wait to take a deep dive into this box and we are certain it will have a positive effect on our residents.

Our Rainbow Table

Our Rainbow table is up an running and we are so excited to start using it with our residents. This table is full of wonderful benefits and here are just some of those:

Positive effect upon well-being by improving mood, reducing apathy and restlessness, as well as increasing engagement levels especially across the mid-to-late stages of dementia.
Increased physical social and cognitive activity.
Increased positive emotion and reduction of withdrawn-like symptoms.

An added benefit of our mobile rainbow Table means that our residents can utilise it anywhere in our home; lounges, coffee area, the garden or even bedrooms – the fun will come to them!

Quiz and Cocktail Evening

We had a great time at our very first Quiz and Cocktail evening!
The teams battled it out through 4 rounds however we had a very clear winner in the end with our resident Sylvia and her son making a super quizzing duo.
The top three teams were 'Hector's Team' in 1st place, 'The Girls' in 2nd and 'Me, myself and Simona' in 3rd. Well done everyone what an amazing effort!
We are already looking forward to the next event and hope to see you there. Keep your eye on our page for dates.

Our Bluebell Café

We were absolutely delighted when the staff and children at Plus Three Nurseries agreed to support us with naming our café here at Farley Gardens.

The Principal, Mrs Butler, her team and of course the wonderful children came up with some fabulous options but finally decided on 'Bluebell Café'.

We are delighted with the name, our residents and families love it also and we are so grateful for the support of the nursery. To show our thanks we delivered them an array of delicious snacks for them to enjoy at snack time before the end of term this week which Mrs Butler advised went down a treat!

Family & Golf

Family is everything to us at Farley Gardens, so nothing beats some Father and Son time on a Friday afternoon relaxing and watching The Open.

We are always encouraging our residents to do the things they enjoy the most and when family can be part of these moments it makes them extra special!

Great fun at the Garden Centre!

The residents had requested we come here to choose some more flowers for the gardens, so this is what we did. Of course all good garden centre visits end with tea and cake and this was no different.
