Activities at Meadow Park Care Home
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.

Life at Meadow Park Care Home
Meadow Park's Youngest Team Member
Everyone at Meadow Park was thrilled to welcome a new baby into our home! Care Assistant, Suki, gave birth to a lovely baby boy. Residents and staff were delighted to meet him.
Dedicated followers of fashion!
Staff and residents at Barchester’s Meadow Park care home in Bedlington had a brilliant time celebrating London Fashion Week and reminiscing about their favourite fashions over the years including walking their very own catwalk!
From the Swinging Sixties, typified by Mary Quant, Ossie Clark and Barbara Hulanicki’s Biba, through to Vivienne Westwood’s punk provocations and Alexander McQueen’s dark and dramatic visions, London has a long legacy of producing extraordinary design but the first London Fashion Week didn’t take place until 1984.
Historic Royal Palaces
Across our services, our residents were treated to a special virtual sensory storytelling session. Together with Art Historian Jon Sleigh and the Historic Royal Palaces community team, we explored several royal palaces through the theme of food, dining and celebration!
We enjoyed a fantastic taste-a-long experience from the comfort of our home, from Tudor treats to Stuart sweets. A lovely time was had by all.
Virtual Book Club
Across our services we had a lovely time joining Mark Piesing for an exciting virtual event to discuss his book ‘N-4 Down: The Hunt for The Arctic Airship Italia’.
Our residents were thrilled to find out more about the book and the fascinating story of the world-famous exploring airship Italia, returning from the North Pole on May 24, 1928. The airship was struck by a terrible storm and crashed somewhere over the Arctic ice, triggering the largest polar rescue mission in history.
The virtual book club experience was truly enjoyed by all.
World Book Day
Staff and residents here at Meadow Park have celebrated World Book Day today. Staff came in dressed as their favourite book characters. We have had Mirabel from Encanto, Miss Trunchbull from Matilda, Snow White, Where’s Wally and more. Residents enjoyed seeing staff dressed up, and enjoyed reading their favourite story’s together.
Valentine's Day
Residents have celebrated Valentine’s Day with a Valentine's disco and a special meal. We invited spouses, partners, 'other halves', family and friends to join us. This was very much enjoyed by everybody, and we certainly were feeling the love throughout the home.
