Activities at Thistle Hill Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
Our activities team are great at building the activities programme around the likes and interests of the people we care for. Ensuring that our social events offer fun and adventure is part of the ethos of our home; it’s important that those we support can enjoy an active and social lifestyle. Of course, there will always be those who prefer peace and quiet, and in these instances, a cup of tea and a chat are always welcomed.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Thistle Hill Care Home
Flower arranging
Wonderful day creating flower arrangements. Susie created a beautiful two-tone vase of roses to decorate our reception desk, while Malcolm and May created a mixed vase, and Hazel worked mainly with the carnations to create a large vase of pink and red.
Richard & Honey dazzled us again at Thistle Hill
The very talented Richard played guitar and sang for us, while Honey, his gorgeous cockapoo, stole the show at the end with her tricks.
Easter Memories
We had a visit from Red Kite Nursery for an Easter Egg Hunt; Richard & Honey wowed us with their show; we had a Bucks Fizz Easter Quiz residents had lots of laughs at their own Easter Egg Hunt; we had a Golden Ticket Easter Afternoon Tea; on Sunday every resident was visited with an Easter Egg or cuddly toy and in the afternoon we had a Prosecco Party and a Bowling Competition!
'Lets dance the night away'
What a wonderful afternoon spent singing and dancing to all the oldies. Rebekka really knows how to get us all up dancing and singing. Residents enjoyed some of the old favourite songs. Wonderful time had by all!!
Flower arranging
Malcolm was a true gent treating the ladies to some flowers. The ladies created some delightful arrangements that look fabulous in the home. It was so lovely to see all the beautiful flowers and colours.
Residents enjoy silent disco
Residents and guests enjoyed an afternoon of grins with Pete Goldup and his 40 pairs of WiFi headphones that took place at the home. Pete Goldup – Silent Disco performed a selection of classic hits including ‘Born Free’ and ‘Under the Moon of Love’.
Residents joined in with the singing, and clapped along as the final song was played. The hospitality team at the home also provided a spread of sweet and savoury treats for guests to enjoy during the show.
