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
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.
Happy 88th birthday dear Cath
We had a great time celebrating with her today. Cath loved blowing out the candles on her birthday cake, made especially by our chef. We all sang Happy Birthday and she was very Happy. She was so happy with her cake and surprise gifts - it made her day very special. and also her boyfriend who joined the celebration too.
We hope Cath had an amazing day and felt loved and celebrated. Lots of love from everyone at Glebefields Care Home - Barchester Healthcare.
