Activities at Glebefields Care Home

Glebefields had a great time with Kathryn Delve, a flower expert, over Zoom. She showed us how to make beautiful flower arrangements for Valentine's Day. We followed her lead and added roses and carnations to our creations. The online session helps us learn new things and also helps us remember what we learned before.

Kathryn said, "These workshops always bring me such joy. It's fulfilling to see people create something beautiful and find happiness in the process."

Our dear resident Ivy said, "Joining these sessions brings back nice memories and helps me get better at what I do. It's a special time for learning and practising."

We're proud of our displays and have placed them around the home for everyone to enjoy before Valentine's Day.

We had an amazing time at Glebefields recently when Lucia paid us a visit with her adorable furry friends! From fluffy bunnies to a playful dog named Coco, our residents had a lovely time cuddling and playing with these wonderful animals.

Joan, Diane, and Edith Minnie couldn't stop smiling as they interacted with our furry guests, showering them with love and treats. Joan, our lovely resident, shared, ''Spending time with these petting animals is so refreshing! It really lifts my happiness and energises me.''

Our staff also joined in on the fun, sharing laughter and creating unforgettable memories. It was a day filled with happy moments and laughter, showing the special bond between humans and animals.

We had an entertainment by Nick Golden, and our residents had a wonderful time singing along to familiar tunes from the 50s. During the performance, Mike, the son of one of our residents, joined in the fun by taking on the role of a farmer in the classic song "Run Rabbit Run". He even got our activities Coordinator Kay up to dance too! The room was filled with smiles and laughter, creating a joyful atmosphere enjoyed by all!

Our residents and staff absolutely love their visits from the young children at Little Sparrows Childcare. Their inquisitive minds and beaming faces brighten the whole home. Intergenerational activities are beneficial for all involved.

The home's traditional Doll's House, Robotic Cat and mountains of art supplies make for some lovely life enriching moments - Thank you for joining us and for brining so much joy!

Alfie from G Fitness visited Glebefields Care Home - Barchester Healthcare and gave residents a wonderful workout session. With upbeat music playing in the background, we participated in gentle chair exercises targeting both the upper and lower body. Additionally, we enjoyed some fun ball games as part of our fitness routine. It was a refreshing experience for everyone involved!

We celebrated National Chocolate Day with a fun activity: making home made chocolate cupcakes! Residents and staff gathered in the kitchen to create these delicious treats from ground up.

Our lovely resident Joan shared her home made recipe and fond memories of baking cupcakes for her children. It was a very happy moment as we mixed the batter, filled the cupcake liners, and added decorations.

Everyone chatted and smiled, making it a sweet and memorable day for all of us! At the end of the day, when we each got to enjoy our own home made cupcake, the happiness was visible.
