Activities at Glebefields Care Home

Today Residents enjoyed making rice crispy with Kay. After the making residents loved the taste and were happy to serve them to others as well during tea time. Pam, Bert, Edith and Marlene were very excited to be a part of rice crispy making.

It's great fun to celebrate our residents birthday in our care home but it's more fun when their full family joins us for the wonderful celebration.

Here comes our lovely Marlene's Birthday function and yes we made it a grand celebration by decorating our Glebefields Care home. Their family joined us, they brought many good memories of Marlene childhood with them. Marlene daughter was so happy to see Mom celebrating her birthday with all other residents. Our Chef Boss and Vincent made the wonderful cake and some afternoon snacks for the celebration.

They were dancing and having fun. Yes it's true that "Together we make a family" and we proved it. Marlene was very happy and excited to see each and everything we did for her happiness. Marlene's family also enjoyed the time spent in the care home with us. We love you Marlene and we wish you many more successful years to come.

Residents at Glebefields marked International Women’s Day (IWD) on March 8th by spending the day celebrating the achievements of wonderful trail-blazing women throughout history.

Our residents took part in various activities, from flower arranging to creating a collage to represent the beauty of all women!

Pam, Marlene, Freidal and Minnie had a wonderful time discussing the role of the many different women with the homes’ care team. They talked about the important women in their own lives and celebrated strong women in history from Cleopatra and Boudica, to Florence Nightingale and Marie Curie right through to our late Queen.

The ladies enjoyed cutting into a freshly made chocolate cake courtesy of Chef Vincent over a sweet treat filled afternoon tea.

Nisha Shaji, General Manager at Glebefields said: “We’ve all had a really interesting day thinking about the very many brilliant women who have had such an impact on our lives, whether that was an historic figure or people in our own family. It was good to share our experiences, take stock and reflect on how much society has changed over the years.”

Resident Minnie commented: “It is amazing to think how much things have changed just in my lifetime, when I was younger there were so many things it was deemed inappropriate for women to do. It is wonderful that women have so many more opportunities these days and days like this are so important to make sure we keep going in the right direction.”

Yesterday residents at Glebefields Carehome enjoyed a short walk around the home to enjoy the weather and the pictureseque views that we are blessed. They were very happy to feel fresh air.

June and Moira joined together and were having chit chat sitting in the garden. June came on respite to our Carehome and returned back to her home after a few weeks. After going back June started to miss the happiness and life she had with us. June came back and is now a permanent resident with us.

June made many friends and is an expert in playing Scrabble Game. June and Moira enjoyed the walk and wish to have a walk very often.

Glebefields care home residents and colleagues wish to congratulate Activities Coordinator; Kay Boland on receiving Employee of the Month. Kay has been nominated by her colleagues, and the residents for being so very kind, always helpful and hard working.

Home Manager; Nisha confirmed, "Kay provides life enriching activities that put a smile on everyone's face. We hope she enjoys spending her £25 voucher and the chocolates we gave her as a special 'thank you' for her continued hard work and dedication to the Glebefields family.

We had a great Birthday celebration at Glebefields care home. One of our resident Millie wanted to have her great grandson Jacob's birthday to be celebrated with her. It was so good to see Millie enjoying the day with her family and Jacob.

It was Jacob's first birthday and Millie was so happy to be a part of it. She did like the homemade cake. She enjoyed the taste and was so full of cake that she avoided having supper too. Her smile explained to us how happy and wonderful the time she had with her family.
