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
Easter Celebration and Egg Hunt
A big thank you to everyone who came along to our Easter Egg Hunt at Glebefields. It was such a fun afternoon, full of laughter and excitement. Kids, residents, staff, families, and friends all joined in the fun. We had a great time searching for Easter eggs, showing off our homemade Easter Bonnets, and playing games together.
Our lovely resident, Joan, won first prize for her Easter Bonnet. And of course, everyone else received prizes too, because everyone did such a fantastic job. We enjoyed some delicious treats at our afternoon tea. Thanks to your support, we raised money for our residents' fund, which will help us plan more outings in the future. Your kindness means a lot to us. A big shoutout to everyone who made our Easter Celebration so special. Let's keep spreading joy and making memories together. See you at the next event.
Happy Birthday Christine
Today we celebrated our lovely resident Christine's 76th birthday and had the loveliest time. Seeing her face with surprise and happiness was really amazing. When she opened the birthday card and read all the messages from the staff, she became very happy. Here's to many more wonderful years for Christine.

Happy Easter
We celebrated Easter with our residents and staff. Day was filled with lots of memorable moments and enjoyable activities. We began the day with a special surprise for our residents - Easter Eggs for all.
We were honoured to welcome Lindy Bridgeman from St Peter Church, Drayton Ironstone Benefice Oxfordshire, who shared Easter blessings and presented our residents with lovely plants. Their presence truly added to the blessings and joy of the day.
Our chef prepared a delicious Easter lunch that everyone thoroughly enjoyed. Later in the afternoon, we gathered for a relaxed movie session accompanied by Easter cake and afternoon tea, creating a cosy atmosphere for all to enjoy. Our home looked charming with homemade decorations, crafted by our staff and residents. Decorated bonnets, Easter egg baskets, the blessing of Easter was felt in every corner of our homely home.
From our Glebefields family to yours, we extend our lovely wishes for a blessed Easter. Happy Easter.
Church Service
A blessed day we had at our gathering at Glebefields. Pastor David and friends from Banbury’s Evangelical Church joined us for a wonderful time of Easter. We explored the beautiful stories of this special time, sang joyful hymns, and said The Lord's Prayer together. Grateful for moments like these that bring us closer together in faith and fellowship. Wishing everyone a blessed Easter day.
