Greenfield Park is a modern and specially designed Care Centre set in lawned gardens in Carntyne near Glasgow providing nursing and respite care for elderly people with physical frailty and physical disabilities, as well as those in short or long-term convalescence.

This modern home is rather far from local facilities, but it used to have a superb range of activities for residents. Endowment funds had been used to employ (part time) an OT activities supervisor, physiotherapist and activities provider. There was also a volunteer: the husband of a deceased resident. The enthusiasm and dedication of the staff and participants was terrific.

There were games, reminiscence sessions, story-telling, some horticultural pursuits - and probably much more. This was a model for others to adopt,, and very much in accordance with the recommendations of NAPA (the National Association of Providers of Activities for Older People).
