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
The Hollyfields Tavern
Residents at Hollyfields have been enjoying running their own bar with real ales and wines available for them to serve up to their punters.
Many residents at Hollyfields used to run their own public houses; Mike and Thora Tindal used to run one in Bromsgrove and Hollyfield's Tavern brought back fond memories for them.
Some residents loved serving the drinks, polishing the glasses and one gentleman even wood stained the bar as part of the project. We had a naming competition and the winner was 'The Hollyfields Tavern'.
Seated Games
Residents really enjoyed an afternoon of active seated games, which included oversized darts and bump balls.
Arts & Crafts
Residents enjoyed an afternoon of arts and crafts, painting their hands and making pictures from them. One resident made a tree out of her hand prints and then used her fingertips to add the leaves.
Baking at Hollyfields
Hollyfields' residents enjoyed a morning of baking tasty treats in the activities room. Residents said that they particularly liked licking the bowl, as it reminded them of their childhood days.
Velcro Darts
Residents enjoyed a morning of active games with inflatable Velcro darts. The competition was on when residents saw what others were scoring and wanted to beat them.
Zoolab
Residents were visited today by Zoolab, who brought with them a selection of reptiles and creepy-crawlies. From mice and snakes to scorpions and millipedes. Residents enjoyed holding the animals and feeling the different textures, in addition to learning all about them.
