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

A Day in the Life
Activities Coordinator, Michael Butler, writes about his experiences working at Hollyfields in a wonderful blog post, which you can read by clicking here.
Men at Work
Hollyfields men enjoyed a morning of good ol' fashioned carpentry. The residents sanded and stained pieces of garden furniture for the sensory garden and whistled while they worked.
These Little Piggies
Staff and residents at Hollyfields were visited over the sunny bank holiday weekend by two piglets called Eric & Ernie. They were thrilled by the visit; children and residents fed the pigs and there was even a chase to round them all up to say goodbye.
Open Day
Residents, staff, relatives and visitors joined us all for a brilliant sunny open day at Hollyfields. Many visitors joined us to take a look at our new seven bed residential dementia unit. Sam Padget and David Lawrence entertained us with classic songs from the shows and saxophone solos. A brilliant day was had by all!
