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
Hamper donation
We would like to say a massive thank you to Sidney Armitage for his wonderful annual donation of food for food hampers. These are a huge hit every year in our Christmas raffle!
Virtual trip to the Donkey Sanctuary
Across our services, Residents enjoyed a fantastic virtual tour of the Donkey Sanctuary Manchester. Residents were thrilled to meet the lovely herd of donkeys, including Henry and his best friend Tiny Tim and to learn more about their every day care. They were introduced to the sanctuary’s work and the impact they make to the lives of donkeys in need worldwide. The virtual experience was truly enjoyed by all.
Musical memories
Yesterday residents were treat to a sing a long with the wonderful Musical Memories Everyone clapped and sang a long to all the oldies and even the staff couldn’t resist a boogie. Music elevates mood and reduces stress, it can also relieve symptoms of depression and help manage pain.
Remembrance Sunday
Staff had the pleasure of escorting residents to our hometown's marketplace in Bedlington to watch the remembrance parade. Residents had a wonderful time. We bumped into old friends and reminisced about the war and those that fought for our country. We sang the national anthem and made prayers for the fallen, before heading back to our home to admire the window display honouring the armed forces.
A Visit from the Armed Forces
Meadow Park have enjoyed a visit from the 101 Regiment Royal Artillery warrant Officer class two Nicky Cullwick, Warrant Officer class two Diane Hillary, Bombardier Mark Mary and Corporal Steve Daley who have all shared a wonderful morning with our residents reminiscing and sharing stories about their time working for the armed forces. Thank you all for visiting our home, it has really been a great surprise for our residents.
Dasher the Friendship Dog
Our residents here at Meadow Park have enjoyed the first of many visits from friendship dog Dasher and his owner Simon. We have all loved spending time with Dasher watching him do tricks and our residents also had the opportunity to give Dasher some hard earner treats.
