Residents at Gedling Village Care Home have been enjoying a wonderfully varied programme of activities designed to inspire joy, creativity, and connection lately. Recent highlights included a delightful animal‑meet session, where friendly therapy animals visited the home and were welcomed with smiles, stories, and gentle affection. Our flower‑arranging afternoon also proved a hit, as residents created beautiful displays filled with colour and personality. A nostalgic old‑school train journey added an extra touch of magic, giving everyone the chance to reminisce about past adventures while taking in the scenic views.
Alongside these special outings, day‑to‑day activities have been buzzing with fun and companionship. Residents have enjoyed a mix of games, from lively group sessions to classic favourites like Scrabble and Draughts. Dancing sessions have brought movement and laughter into the home, while baking has filled the air with delicious aromas as residents worked together to create sweet treats. Meanwhile, bowls—played indoors or outdoors—has remained a calming yet engaging pastime that encourages gentle competition and shared enjoyment. Altogether, these activities continue to strengthen community spirit and enrich daily life at Gedling Village Care Home.
And finally, some of our residents are proudly showing off their accomplishments with what they have created, made and grown!
At Gedling Care Home, we truly love seeing our residents having fun, keeping busy, and sharing moments of laughter together.

Every activity—big or small—helps build a warm, lively atmosphere where residents feel engaged, connected, and valued. Their smiles and laughter brighten the home every day, and we are proud to support an environment where happiness and togetherness flourish.
