Activities at Glebefields Care Home

We had a lovely evening with Bill Tustain. He took all of us to musical heaven with his festive keyboard playing and singing. Our lovely resident Marlene and our wonderful staff member Christine both danced along to Tustain Music. Everybody clapped their hands and jingled their sleigh bells. Thank you, Tustain, for making everybody smile and happy.

Tudor Hall School from Bloxham brought smiles and festive cheer to our residents and staff. The talented students entertained us with joyful hymns and wonderful musical performances. Our residents joined in, sharing the vibe of the season. A big thank you to the students for their amazing talents, and as a token of appreciation, we gifted them small festive surprises. 

We had a lovely afternoon filled with the festive tunes of Sandra Grant, a talented singer and musician playing her tenor saxophone and flute. The Christmas spirit was in the air, and everyone joined in the Happiness. Marlene shared; "It was very nice, and I enjoyed it a lot." The magic of Christmas unfolded through music, creating happy moments for all of us to treasure.

We had a festive day out with our lovely residents Marlene, Tom, and Christine, accompanied by our wonderful staff, on a delightful Christmas shopping trip to M&S Gateway! We walked around, picking out holiday treats to make this season even more special.

After our shopping, we gathered for a well-deserved lunch, sharing delicious bites and funny stories. It wasn't just about the gifts; it was about creating cherished memories and enjoying the festive spirit together. As we carried our bags filled with holiday treasures, our smiles reflect the joy of the season. Here's to more festive adventures full of the wonder of Christmas!

On the 6th day of Christmas our residents enjoyed putting the flourishing touches to our Barchester Christmas Cake Competition entry. The planning for their design started back in November, all agreeing they wished to create a traditional festive wreath.

With hand-crafted holly leaves using firmed coloured icing and a cutter placed and stuck into position with liquid icing, before rolling each iced red berry to finish the overall look.

In the afternoon our crafty residents continued the Christmas Wreath theme making individual ones for their room doors from cardboard covered in crape paper and decorated with embellishments of their personal choice.

Well done everyone, all your wreaths look amazing!

One resident said; 'he's a most thoughtful young man' and another said that 'nothing is too much trouble for him to do'.

General Manager Nisha Shaji said "Sundaraj is always polite, and extremely passionate about our residents wellbeing. He's currently studying hard to become a nurse which is the perfect career progression for him. We all hope he enjoys spending the voucher and on receiving this well-deserved Barchester accolade.
