Glebefields in the press

Glebefields care centre was featured in the Banbury Guardian this week for its outstanding commitment to providing excellent social activities for its residents.

Spotlight on active residents

A BANBURY nursing home is in focus this week as cameras zoom in on their social activities which have been highlighted as an example of excellence in the care of the elderly.

Glebefields, a private residential home in Drayton, was picked out by the National Association for Provision of Activities for Older People (NAPA) as one of three institutions which demonstrate the breadth of social activities needed to keep elderly people happy, as active as possible and stimulated.

On Tuesday, film-maker Alex Goodman and his crew accompanied resident Phil Shapland and his daughter Annie Reid to the Redwings horse and donkey sanctuary at Oxhill to record an outing.

In the  coming two weeks, the crew will be filming a wide range of social activities enjoyed by residents, from visits by volunteers and their pets to cooking clubs, swimming, art classes, trips to the theatre and to town, themed lunches, gardening and visiting entertainers.
