Entertainment at Glencorse Care Home is all about bringing joy, connection and meaningful moments into everyday life. Our varied programme adds rhythm and excitement to the week while allowing residents the freedom to join in as much or as little as they wish.
From lively group sessions to quieter shared experiences, entertainment is thoughtfully planned to suit different personalities, abilities and moods, helping residents feel engaged and uplifted.
The entertainment calendar at Glencorse includes regular events such as live music afternoons, quizzes, film showings and themed days that create a sense of occasion within the home. These shared experiences encourage laughter, conversation and a strong sense of community among residents.
We also welcome visits from the local community, including schoolchildren and entertainers, helping residents stay connected to life beyond the home and enjoy familiar traditions and fresh interactions.
Alongside group entertainment, residents can enjoy quieter activities that reflect their individual interests. One to one time with our activities coordinator allows for personalised sessions such as card games, reminiscence chats or creative hobbies.
Residents are actively encouraged to help shape the entertainment programme by suggesting ideas or sharing past interests. This ensures that entertainment remains inclusive, meaningful and enjoyable for residents of all abilities, including those receiving nursing or dementia care.
We’re here to answer any questions and help you feel confident in your next steps.
