Activities at Meadow Park Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Meadow Park Care Home
Easter Fun!
It was back to traditional methods today! Hard-boiled eggs decorated with paint, feathers and cotton wool. Residents remember helping their own children and grandchildren to prepare for Easter in their younger days.
Good Friday continued with Fish & Chips served up in newspapers with lashings of Salt & Vinegar! And, our ladies upstairs completed the final push to complete their bonnets in time for the grand finale this afternoon.
Music is magic at Easter
Music is the magic which brings us alive with feelings of love, friendship and joy. The Easter Bunny arrived in the middle of the party this afternoon, danced to the music and with our residents. Our ladies and gentlemen received an Easter Egg, and we hope they enjoy it.
The team of Meadow Park hope you have enjoyed our weekend of celebrations and, for those of our relatives who live in different parts of the country or in another country, Happy Easter and pleased you have been a part of our Community.
Infidels MCC Club pay a visit
Sadly, our ladies and gentlemen were unable to support the great Northumbria Easter Egg Run last weekend, but this afternoon Liam, Bob, Ryan and Rob from Infidels MCC Club kindly visited Meadow Park.
Not only did the boys allow our ladies and gentlemen to sit on the motorbikes, they delivered an Easter Egg for each and everyone of them. Lads you have made many of our residents very, very happy! And we Thank You from the bottom of our hearts. Anytime you are riding by please drop in and say Hello as you are more than welcome. You are all true stars!
National Beer Day
We had a fun-filled day as we raised a glass and tasted top ales in recognition of National Beer Day. Our residents enjoyed a mini beer festival and got involved in a variety of engaging activities.
Some of our residents spent time learning about craft brewing and the history of beer, others preferred to join the beer tasting session and try beers from all around the world. It was a wonderful day, enjoyed by all.
Place your bets!
The ladies at our home had a great excuse to put on their elegant clothes and hats in recognition of the Ladies Day at the Grand National, held annually at Aintree Racecourse.
The day is held alongside horse racing, and is famous not only for the action on the course, but for the fashion and entertainment of it. For the highlight of the races, everyone gathered in the lounge to watch the 'Grand National' with our bets placed!
Dancing the afternoon away!
This week we welcomed popular entertainer, Mark McCann back to Meadow Park for an afternoon of music, singing and dance.
Following the glorious sunshine that we all enjoyed over the weekend as predicted the temperatures dropped back to normal outside. However, the friendly atmosphere was hot, hot, hot in Memory Lane!
To cool off after the party our ladies and gentlemen enjoyed a chilled glass of wine or a cold beer. We look forward to Mark's next visit.
