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
Thank You, Sainsbury's
A huge amount of fresh flowers were delivered to residents at Hollyfields by Sainsbury’s staff recently. Residents enjoyed sitting and arranging flowers, which will be displayed around thei home and in their rooms. Residents enjoyed the colours and smells that the flowers bought with them.
Horticultural Show
Residents visited their local horticultural show with friends and families. The day bought lots of memories back for all of us.
Donating Apples
We had plenty of apples left after making apple juice from our recent Hollyfields Orchard haul, so we decided to donate the rest to West Midlands Safari Park to help feed the animals.
Apple Picking
Residents at Hollyfields pick apples from their own orchard to make some apple juice.
Joined by Wyre Community Land Trust, a community group that visits annually for the apple-picking tradition at the home. Residents walked through the home's grounds with the care and activities team to the Hollyfield’s Orchard, where they picked their own fresh apples for their homemade apple juice brew, which they sold in 2 pint cartons at the home to raise money for charity.
After the apple picking, all of the participants returned to the home, where they crushed the apples for juicing, and chefs in the kitchen got busy baking the apples in a delicious apple pie, which was enjoyed by all.
Animal House
These are photographs taken from our animal visit at Hollyfields, when we enjoyed a visit from iguanas, chickens, baby rabbits and Guinea pigs. Residents were thrilled to see them and loved holding and petting them too.
Smoothie Time
Residents tucked into some of their favourite smoothies recently, enjoying some interesting combinations, such as banana & white chocolate, strawberry & kiwi and peach & melon.
