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
Happy Birthday Ladies!
We had a triple celebration last weekend, honouring the birthdays of June, Mary, and Helen! The day was filled with delightful gifts, scrumptious cake-cutting, and joyful birthday songs. Three times the happiness, three times the fun!
Visit to 'Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum'
We had a brilliant day out to the "Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum." Tom, Ray, and Stanley enjoyed it so much that they want to go again! They found lots of interesting things about Churchill and both the world wars. Looking back and talking about it was lots of fun. A big thanks to our staff members, Kay, Tracey, and Dinesh, for making our day at the "Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum" even more special!
Happy Birthday 'Tom'
We celebrated our lovely resident Tom's birthday with birthday songs, a delicious cake, surprise gifts, and a birthday card. Wishing him a year filled with joy, laughter, and wonderful moments ahead.
Grandparents' Day Celebrations
On Grandparents' Day, we celebrate all the amazing grandparents who bring love and wisdom into our lives! Your presence means so much to us. One of our residents had a special visit from her great-granddaughter, and they shared smiles and special moments together. To make the day even more wonderful, we all enjoyed delicious chocolate cupcakes and a cosy evening tea. What a lovely and unforgettable celebration of family and creativity!
Happy Birthday 'Pam'
We had a lovely celebration for Pam's birthday, complete with cake, birthday songs, and surprise gifts. Here's to a year filled with happiness and great times ahead!
Motor Museum Magic
We were privileged to host a lovely visit from the British Motor Museum, featuring a mesmerising presentation on historical artefacts and a talk about vehicles of the past.
Our residents had the opportunity to reminisce about their own cars and reflect on the significant changes in automotive technology over the years, such as the transition from cranking the engine to the modern convenience of turning a key. This event provided a meaningful opportunity for shared stories and a journey down memory lane, creating a truly special day for all.
