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.

Life at Glebefields Care Home
Easter Cake competition
Our amazing residents and staff at Glebefields are all buzzing with excitement as we get ready for Barchester Healthcare's Easter Cake competition. Our cake is a real treat – it's a delicious Plain Victoria sponge cake with lemon, raspberry jam, and tasty butter icing. Our lovely resident Joan has decorated our cake with Easter colours, adding her talent to make the cake amazing.
Kids Visit from Little Sparrow Childcare
Residents and staff love it when the little kids from Little Sparrows Childcare come to visit our Glebefields Care Home - Barchester Healthcare. They are so curious and happy, and it makes everyone here feel good. Doing stuff together across different ages is good for everyone. We have got some cool stuff like an old Doll's House, a robotic cat, and loads of art supplies that make our time together awesome. Thanks for being a part of the fun and bringing so much joy.
Fitness Fun with Alfie from G-Fitness.
We had an another fantastic visit from Alfie at G-Fitness. He really connected with our residents, encouraging them to improve their fitness levels. We all know that mental and physical wellbeing are important for a fulfilling life, and Alfie's visit was just what we needed to boost our spirits and get moving. Thank you, Alfie, for your inspiring visit at our home.
Minibus trip out
We had a lovely trip out to Bloxham Nursery and Tea Room. It is such a beautiful place to visit. The tea room, with its patio overlooking a field of lavender, is especially charming. We can only imagine how wonderful it will be in late spring and summer when the lavender blooms. Our residents had a great time enjoying freshly brewed tea and coffee along with a slice of homemade cake. There were so many delicious options to choose from it was a treat for everyone.
Easter Bonnets Decoration
Crafting Easter bonnets isn't just tradition, it's a lovely way to celebrate Easter's spirit of new beginnings. Our residents had a lovely time for making their own bonnets and wore them with pride all weekend. We even had a fun photoshoot where everyone wore their bonnets and smiled for the camera. It was a wonderful moment of togetherness and joy.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day
We had a St. Patrick's Day celebration today. We decked out our home with green decorations, raised a glass of Guinness, and spent the afternoon watching "St. Patrick: The Legend of Ireland." It was a perfect way to honour the day and reminisce about the rich history and traditions of Ireland. Cheers to good times and memorable moments.
