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
Never Too Old to Learn
Chinese Language Day at Glebefields Care Home was a culturally enriching and joyous event that brought together our residents, including Marlene, Minnie, Pam, Edith, Helen, and our dedicated staff. The day was filled with excitement as our residents learned Chinese phrases and took pride in speaking the language. We enjoyed tea-time delights with fragrant teas and prawn crackers, fostering genuine connections and laughter as our residents shared stories and bonded over language and culture.
Beauty and Wisdom
"Celebrating the Beauty and Wisdom of Our Residents with a Day of Pampering and Care. Our lovely residents, Cynthia and Pam, had an indulgent time during the pampering event! They were treated with soothing massages and manicures! They thoroughly enjoyed their pampering session, and their smiles said it all!
At Glebefields, we believe that self-care is essential for well-being, and our residents deserve the best. We are dedicated to providing a nurturing and caring environment for our residents".
