Activities at Meadowbeck Care Home

We were delighted to welcome back Sarah with her flute, playing a range of old and new songs, including 'Little April Shower' from Disney's Bambi and the Aria from 'Suite Antique'. Plenty of singalongs were enjoyed too, including 'Can't help falling in love with you'. 

Sarah was also joined by Beth with her cello, introducing her to everyone for the first time and was equally enjoyed, with some expressing how wonderful it was to have a cellist come and play! 

Together, they played a smaller range of duets for our residents to enjoy: 'Beauty and the Beast' and 'Rewrite the Stars'.  After the performance, one of our ladies shared with us of her memories of herself playing the cello alongside her dad, who played the piano.

This evening ‘The Meadowbeck Inn’ opened to its customers as we hosted our Pizza &a Pint night. Residents, families and friends enjoyed a selection of beverages accompanied with a slice of pizza (or two).

The evening was a great success with lots of hearty laughter as we chatted about everything and anything, and the bar was kept busy with Olwyn been the perfect barmaid.

This was a great opportunity for Olwyn to celebrate her birthday with friends around her as we surprised her with a delicious birthday cake made by our Chef. What a great evening enjoyed by all!

Residents, families and friends gathered together to join our Harvest Festival service, hosted by Father Bill from St Aelreds R C church who led the service, joined by Catherine playing her guitar with everyone singing along to Harvest Hymns.

It was wonderful to be joined by other members of the congregation from St Aelreds church and also Jan Noble and Julie Wainwright from St Thomas church. We had beautiful readings from the sixth form students from Archbishops Holgate School, we had a lovely afternoon as we finished off with a friendly catch up over tea and biscuits.

We would like to say a big thank you for all your support and donations of non-perishable foods who we will be donating to our local food bank.

What better way to end the day after a busy day of autumnal crafts than to settle back and enjoy a relaxing cheese and wine evening.

It was a perfect opportunity to relax,  chat and reminiscence over a glass of wine accompanied by a selection of delicious mouth-watering cheese from Wensleydale creamery in Hawes, the evening was a great success with lots of chatter and hearty laughter!

Lots of residents at Meadowbeck Care Home in Osbaldwick, York received special visits from their grandchildren/great grandchildren to celebrate Grandparents’ Day on Sunday 6th October. 

Other residents whose families live further away enjoyed having calls with their grandchildren over Facetime and were touched to receive cards from their families and from the local community. 

Residents at Meadowbeck looked at old photos and reminisced about stories from their childhood when they spent time with their own grandparents, and spoke fondly about their grandchildren.

Residents across our services had a fantastic time enjoying the virtual screening of Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em. Frank Spencer’s comical misadventures had everyone laughing and it was wonderful to see so many happy faces. 

Thank you to everyone who joined us and a special thanks to The Barn Theatre in the Cotswolds for bringing this stage adaptation of the beloved sitcom to our screens.
