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.

Minibus trip out

We had a wonderful day out for our residents. We visited Barn Farm Antiques Centre, where they enjoyed browsing through the various antiques and vintage items on display. It was happy to see them reminiscing and sharing stories about the past. And we headed to a nearby cafe for a hot drink and some delicious cake. It was the perfect way to round off a lovely spring day.
