Activities at Hagley Place Care Home
Activities plays a big part in the care we deliver to residents; activities staff are committed to organising a mix of activities and events for residents and the local community to get involved in, including trips out to local places of interest in our minibus and visits from entertainers and musicians. It is important to us that each individual who we support can get as much from these as possible, so we try our best to arrange activities that reflect their interests and capabilities as best as possible, and encourage them to participate in any way they can. We also encourage relatives to join in with activities and events as often as they can.
Mandy Hayward
I have a long background in the care industry and love to incorporate the outdoors in my activities. This role is very special as it allows me the time to get to know our residents and their families in a deeply personal way.

Life at Hagley Place Care Home
90th Birthday Celebrations
Joan celebrated her 90th birthday with her family around her here at Hagley Place. Happy birthday, Joan!
Holy Communion
Every mont, we have the local vicar come to give service and then holy communion afterwards. The vicar is kind enough to take around the Eucharist to the less mobile residents.
Clay Therapy
We used clay as a mobility and manipulation therapy, moulding it with our hands and fingers into different shapes to encourage flexibility and movement in arthritic joints.
Watercolours
We had a lovely morning painting with watercolours during our weekly art class. We learnt about shades of colour and how to apply depth using watercolours.
National Puzzle Day
Pens were at the ready on National Puzzle Day with crosswords, word searches, code words, Sudoku and Scrabble all testing the knowledge of residents, staff and visitors alike. The concentration was palpable in Hagley Place and everyone agreed that it was a puzzlingly great day.
Burns Night
Hagley Place was full of Scottish cheer on Burns Night! We made some delicious Scottish shortbread in the morning (and sampled it to make sure it was indeed delicious!) and then, in the afternoon, we had a wonderful time with Debbie Miles singing and dancing to all of the old favourites!
Residents, staff and guests alike had a delightful time and everyone agreed that we certainly set off Burns Night with a bang!
