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
Employee of the Month - June
June's Employee of the Month award went to Sarah Finch, our Head Chef, for her hard work and dedication to ensuring that excellent food and healthy, nutritious meals are delivered to those we care for.
A New Arrival
Residents welcomed the new arrival of a resident's great grandchild recently. The little girl was welcomed by all as residents cooed over her whilst holding her hand and beaming with smiles.
Pet Therapy
Pet therapy dog, Nell, visited Hollyfields and was welcomed by all residents. They enjoyed stroking her and taking her for walks in the gardens, as well as giving her little treats too.
Pub Outing
Residents enjoyed a trip out to their local public house recently for traditional lunches and ales. They indulged in three course meals, which included fish & chips and warmed sticky toffee pudding with custard.
Alpaca Visit
Residents were joined by four Alpacas in the grounds of Hollyfields recently. The alpacas bought a smile to the faces of residents, who enjoyed helping to brush and feed them. Residents who were unable to join us in the grounds were also visited in their rooms, as Alpacas, ‘Dave & Shar’, took to the great indoors. Much fun was had by everyone and the alpacas are still a hot topic of conversation today.
Open Day Begins
We prepared goody bags, tasty treats and items to sell for Barchester's Charitable Foundation - all ready for a good day ahead!
