Activities at Meadow Park Care Home

Residents across our homes and hospitals had a fantastic time with vocal coach Dan Cooper from Biiah as he led an amazing sing-a-long session for residents to enjoy. Residents who joined the event were able to learn different techniques as they sang the famous ‘I Can See Clearly Now’ by Jimmy Cliff and ‘Here Comes the Sun’ by The Beatles. Across our homes there were smiles and laugher all around. The session was such a success and was great for the mind, body and soul.

Residents have been feeling lucky today on the run up to the biggest horse race of the year, The Grand National. Residents anticipated all day and kept an eye on the odds, with everyone taking part in a sweepstake. Residents enjoyed the race with a glass of wine and some nibbles, with Freda & Jemma coming out victorious, with ‘I am Maximus’

We hope you had a hoppy Easter! We celebrated Easter in style with a whole host of themed activities and egg-cellent entertainment.

Our residents enjoyed decorating the home, enjoying hot cross buns and a special visit from our Easter bunny.

In recognition of the day, our talented chef prepared a delicious feast for all to enjoy, as always, we’ve had an amazing time.

Residents and staff at Meadow Park care home, in Bedlington recently enjoyed going outside to support over 400 local lads who rode out around Northumberland collecting money and chocolate eggs to give to local charities, ensuring no children were without this Easter.

Residents from across the homes communities enjoyed getting together and soaking up the early spring sunshine, clapping and cheering them on as they drove past.

We continue to celebrate a varied life enrichment programme and across our services we linked up with other Barchester care homes and hospitals up and down the country for some interactive Beat the Clock games. 

Our residents truly enjoyed solving word puzzles, conundrums and mathematical problems as part of Barchester’s very own game show series.

Everyone who joined had a fantastic time and enjoyed some friendly competition.

We had a brilliant time across our services with Harrogate Skills 4 Living as they took us on a wonderful virtual visit to their Harrogate Chocolate Factory.

Residents were thrilled to discover details about the chocolate-making process and the fascinating journey from bean to bar, all while enjoying some delicious sweet treats.

The Factory aims to employ people with learning disabilities and autism, involving them in all parts of the process, from sorting and roasting the beans to packaging and sales. The experience was truly enjoyed by all who joined this event.
