Activities at Meadowbeck 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.
Tina Holmes
Hi, I’m Tina, and I am the Activities Coordinator here at Meadowbeck.
I began working at the home as a Care Assistant in 1999. In 2014, I changed my role to Social Support Worker, which I enjoyed, as it involved supporting residents at Meadowbeck in their daily lifestyles.
I then became the Activities Coordinator in May 2017. I love working with our residents and getting to know them and their families. In addition to supporting them maintain an active lifestyle I always ensure to personally get to know each resident when they move in with us to support them in the continuation of any hobbies or interests the might have.

Life at Meadowbeck Care Home
Dean's Garden Centre
We spent an afternoon at Dean's Garden centre. Our ladies enjoyed spending time admiring all their favourite flowers. Visited the café before leaving the place, where they thoroughly enjoyed cake of their preference – Bakewell tart with ice-cream and frothy latte. There were smiles all around.
Open Day
We hosted a cream tea afternoon during our open day. Residents, loved ones and visitors to the home had a great afternoon; there was great entertainment, even better conversation and plenty of laughs & smiles.
Entertainment with Christie
Christie is a regular entertainer here at Meadowbeck. Residents and family members always like to join us for a good ol' singalong. It's always a fun afternoon with Christie, and we can't wait for her return!
Keeping Active
We made exercise fun during our most recent session. Residents at Meadowbeck always look forward to seeing Mark, who visits the home every 2 week and hosts sessions that are very popular.
Out & About
We returned to Burnby Hall Gardens to make the most of the lovely weather. Residents enjoyed admiring the beautiful flowers, and we rounded off the afternoon with some delicious tea and cakes.
International Food Fest
We hosted an International Food Fest evening, which we hold every month, and invited friends from our sister home to join us for the evening. This is a great social evening with great company, and everyone enjoys delicious, homemade refreshments amongst good company.
