Our Top Activities at Oakland Care this Christmas
Christmas is one of our most favourite times of year here at Oakland Care. Each of our care homes plan a wide range of activities, trips and events for their residents and families. Here is a collection of our favourites this year:
Maplewood Court
Our Maplewood Court care home welcomed back Chamonix Aspen for a cabaret afternoon of singing, dancing and comedy for our residents to enjoy. A fantastic festive time was had by all and our residents enjoyed some festive tipple too with a glamourous snow topped cocktail!
Birchwood Heights
Our Birchwood Heights residents enjoyed a lovely day trip out to the Bat and Ball Centre, where they attended a Christmas Party. There was singing, dancing, yummy food and some fantastic music from the singer of Nouveau Lounge.
Christmas crafting was also enjoyed by our residents too! They decorated some lovely Christmas crackers ready for the big day! There were some fabulous creative designs and some beautiful hand painted masterpieces!
Hyllden Heights
A Christmas creative session was a great way to spend an afternoon at our Hyllden Heights care home. They upcycled medication pots to create some lovely bell decorations which have been dotted around the home. Not only were some beautiful decorations created, it was also a great way to add some sustainable festivity to the holiday season.
Our Hyllden Heights residents also enjoyed a trip out to a local primary school to watch their nativity, after the school kindly extended an invitation to the home. Our residents absolutely loved the experience and watching the children perform was definitely one of the highlights of Christmas!
Lambwood Heights
Our Lambwood Heights care home rolled out the red carpet for a Gatsby themed party for residents and their families. Our staff went all out with their costumes which added to the glamourous atmosphere and the home was decorated in glorious Gatsby style! The experience was topped off by residents listening to some fabulous music played by a live pianist. What a fabulous way to spend a day!
Elmbrook Court
The big man himself took time out from his busy schedule on the run up to Christmas, to visit our Elmbrook Court care home. Father Christmas spent some time talking to our residents and our residents enjoyed a delicious Christmas buffet whilst listening to some Christmas songs! A perfect way to spend a December day.
Beechwood Grove
The residents of Beechwood Grove had a lovely relaxing afternoon creating Christmas pomander decorations out of oranges and cloves ready to decorate the home’s Christmas Tree. Not only do they smell wonderful, they look beautiful too!
As you can see, it has been a hectic December, making wonderful memories and sharing great times with our residents, their families and the Oakland Care team. We cannot wait to see what 2024 brings and wish you and your loved ones a happy, healthy and joyful Christmas and New Year.
