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
Sensory Stimulation
Residents enjoyed an afternoon of sensory stimulation with products from Active Minds. The reminiscence box proved to be a hit with male residents, as aromas of engine oil, car polish and wood shavings filled the air, bringing back floods of memories.
Companion Pets
Residents at Hollyfields were visited by their ‘Companion Pets’, which included ginger tabby cats and chocolate Labradors. These not only help residents to feel a sense of companionship, but also aid in decreasing levels of anxiety. The pets feel very realistic and even have simulated breathing.
Armchair Exercise
Residents were visited by Chris from Encourage Activity, who put them all through their paces with a morning armchair exercise session.
Pub Lunch
Hollyfields' staff and residents took the opportunity to go out for a lovely pub lunch at the Three Crowns & Sugar Loaf in Kidderminster. Residents were thrilled and loved both the food and ales that were on offer.
Soaking up the Sun
Residents made the most of the fantastic weather by going out and getting newspapers, picking flowers and even having a water bomb fight with staff.
Spring Gardening
Residents were thrilled that the sunshine had finally come out and they couldn't wait to get into the gardens and start planting some flowers.
