Activities at Hollyfields Care Home
Our Activities programme is formulated using resident requests and feedback from resident meetings. Residents are involved in planning the programme with things they they would like to do throughout the year. There is a mixture of activities that take place including both group and 1-1 engagement. Residents at Hollyfields particularly enjoy movement to music activities enabling them to increase their level of physical abilities and have fun at the same time, whilst others enjoy musical singalongs and food based activities throughout the week.
We have a mini bus that enables us to reconnect our residents with their community in ways that suite themselves as individuals. This can be achieved by visiting local farms, Georgian towns, local attractions and even the local public house for lunch with friends. Hollyfields have a great relationship with their local community and have visits from local organisations such as The Wyre Community Land Trust and are currently undertaking a 12 week funded project from Arts Etc. Residents at Hollyfields enjoy Pet Therapy visits from their pet rabbit 'Thumper' and like to help clean and feed him daily. Relatives can be encouraged to join us for activities and again are very supportive with delivering theme days and fundraising events within the home.

Life at Hollyfields Care Home
Cooling Ice Creams
We've been enjoying the summer weather, with sun hats on our wonderful residents enjoyed a sweet Friday afternoon treat that put smiles on everyone’s faces, there's nothing better than a cooling ice cream in this rather warm weather.
Get Barchester Moving!
As part of the fun this week to raise money for the foundation fund we organised a tea dance. Many of our residents have limited mobility but still have the ability to join in. Proving that they still have the moves today’s Tea Dance was a huge success and enjoyed by all!
Our lovely resident Mavis was a dancer from a child, we could really see her memories being bought back to life. She also enjoyed sharing her memories and experiences with the lovely Camille who provided today’s activity. So many smiles!
