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
A coffee with NESCAFE
We had a fabulous time joining NESCAFÉ’s virtual coffee experience.
We were able to look into how they sustainably farm their coffee beans, as well as, to have a virtual tour of one of their factories all from the comfort of our home.
To make things even more interesting, our residents had the chance to test their knowledge with an interactive quiz, and to the delight of all to taste the signature Sweet Cinnamon Shaken Iced Coffee cocktail.
Happy Valentines
Happy Valentine’s Day. Our home was filled with flowers, cards, balloons and decorations as we celebrated the day of love in style with sweet treats and gifts.
We marked the day by making and sending cards to loved ones and having a conversation about romantic moments in their lives.
Our residents had the opportunity to taste delicious themed sweet and savoury treats, prepared by our talented chef, whilst listening to all-time favourite love songs.
It was a lovely day and it was wonderful to see everyone go to so much effort to get involved with the day’s festivities.
Valentine's inspired cookery demo
We had a lovely time joining Chef Alex Connell from Vegetarian for Life for a Valentine’s-inspired virtual cookery demonstration. Chef Alex created some delicious Valentine’s Day-inspired vegetarian desserts, which our residents had the opportunity to try too.
First, our residents sampled a wonderful sticky toffee pudding, which was absolutely heavenly. Then they tried hazelnut truffles which were a huge hit and finally they were treated to a chocolate orange cake which everyone adored.
Celebrating the 'Year of the Tiger'
Residents living within Meadow Park enjoyed celebrating Chinese New Year, the year of the Tiger. The ladies and gentleman took great delight with attempting to make decorations and fortune cookies in addition to taste testing a variety of Chinese goodies.
Residents enjoy the big bird watch
Residents have made fat balls filled with wild bird seed and mealworms to put out for the birds, in order to attract different species so we can help the great British bird watch team, monitoring different species that come into our garden.
Residents have helped each other and worked as a team and look forward to what we might see come into our gardens.
Daily life skills
It is a very important part of daily life for each and everyone to engage in activities which are meaningful for the individual. Valerie’s passion at home was to bake, Ruth was to knit and puzzling maintains an active and stimulate brain. Well done to all of our residents whom continue to enjoy their favourite pastimes
