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.

Hi, my name is Kaylee and I joined the Hollyfields care team in February 2021. I love getting to know our residents and I'm extremely passionate about their continued wellbeing and life enrichment through tailored activities. I became part of the Activities team to develop more in this area and expand the type of fulfilling activities and events we provide.

Life at Hollyfields Care Home
Book a Show Round Today
Did you know we support residents who are on different stages of their dementia journey with two individual co-supportive settings. We have our residential community; Ivy House, and our main nursing home Hollyfields care home.
Both support continued independence, and offer meaningful engagement in a warm and welcoming environment for those living with, or experiencing the early stages of dementia and throughout the journey.
Hollyfields provides dementia residential and nursing care focused on residents’ health and well-being, and is well suited for individuals that require regular or complex medical care and attention – with reassurance that a registered nurse is on-hand 24-hours a day.
Ivy House is our luxury 7-bedded home that offers assisted living to those at an earlier stage in developing dementia. The Ivy House community is perfect for seniors who value independence and wish to remain socially active, but may need some extra support with daily tasks.
We’re welcoming new residents at Hollyfields and Ivy House, our next Open Day is on Saturday 23rd November. Whether you’re curious about our residential, nursing or dementia care we’re here to help.
Pick-Your-Own Pumpkins
Supporting residents to enjoy outings, shopping, meals out and other trips is a key aspect of the weekly activities calendar.
Today our residents enjoyed a visit to Bells Farm Shop to find the perfect pumpkins for our Halloween events. After visiting the pick your own fields and choosing some pumpkins we enjoyed a nice hot drink in the farm shop and of course a slice of cake... well it would be rude not to!
Being out in the community is important for our residents, it promotes our sense of self and well-being.
Fitness Fun Friday!
Our residents had an enjoyable fitness session led by Lucy at Generation Fitness. They actively participated in various games and had a great time. We would like to express our gratitude to the family members who joined us and contributed to the success of the event.
Happy Birthday 'Pam'
Today we celebrate the birthday of one of our much loved residents Pam.
Pam announced she is 21 again! Birthday celebrations give us a chance to get together and celebrate the unique qualities that make you who you are. At Hollyfields we ensure every resident is able to feel extra special on their birthday. And of course our head chef always makes a special cake!
Activities and Shopping!
Our interactive tablet offers a range of activities and experiences that stimulate minds, encourage social interaction, and provide sensory engagement.
This afternoon, we conducted a demonstration for our residents on the basics of online shopping, which surprised them as they were unaware you could do this.
Together we carefully selected an assortment of exquisite crafting materials for our autumn and Christmas events, the residents can't wait to see if the order actually arrives!
Macmillan Coffee Morning
It was a pleasure to see so many individuals yesterday as we participated in The Nation's Biggest Coffee Morning. This event was held to support our esteemed MacMillan Nurses throughout the country. We were delighted to have the talented Beth perform for us, and our Head Chef Sarah and her team provided an assortment of delectable cakes.
Thank you to Donna our Team Leader for making some tasty cheesecakes. Our residents, family and friends thoroughly enjoyed the day, and it was heart-warming to witness the smiles on everyone's faces.
We are pleased to announce that we raised a total of £70.80! We extend our gratitude to all who generously donated to this remarkable cause.
