There’s a Spring in our Step @The Manor
/in NewsA little crafting with Anne and a gentle touch of spring in the air – means the crafting is in full bloom whilst we prepare for spring. Because it is never too early to brighten the days ahead! The girls have been busy crafting with Anne, working hard on our Easter project for the second week in a row! With some exciting plans for decorations, everyone is putting in lots of effort to make sure everything looks wonderful in time. Maureen, Isobel, Anne and I are proudly showing off our Easter ducks! Isobel may be here for just a short stay, but she has joined in with so many activities and her smile lights up the room! It’s such a pleasure having her with us, especially helping with our Easter crafts!
Jean’s 100th Birthday @Woodhayes
/in NewsLast month, our community came together for a milestone that doesn’t come around often—Jean’s 100th birthday—and the celebration was every bit as joyful as the occasion deserved. With family, friends, and fellow residents gathered around, the room was full of chatter, smiles, and the kind of stories that only a century of living can inspire. And because turning 100 is no small feat, one cake simply wasn’t enough. We had two! Both were enjoyed with great enthusiasm, and Jean made sure to sample each one with her trademark sparkle and
humour. When she blew out her candles, the applause was loud, the laughter was warm, and the moment felt truly special. It was a celebration overflowing with love, memories, and a wonderful
sense of togetherness—exactly the kind of day that reminds us why our community feels like home.

Love is in the Air @ Chollacott House
/in NewsWe celebrated Valentine’s with a Valentine’s themed coffee morning, we had a Valentine’s quiz and we held a raffle for the resident’s fund.

Raising A Glass @ The Lilacs
/in NewsHere we got the chance to celebrate a birthday in the home and raise a glass all together. We had colourful balloons, cake with lit candles, whilst the afternoon light and smiles filled the room. Residents were laughing and chat creating a joyful atmosphere of friendship warmth and shared memories.
Balloon Tennis Time @ Bluebell House
/in NewsToday we decided to keep things fun. This was an activity that was enjoyed by all and even made other residents laugh. Jane, Jean and Joan were very engaged during balloon tennis and Barry & Linda all had a great game. This particular game is great for keeping active, as well as hand eye co ordination and keeping them all really engaged, even when the balloon is at the other end of the room!

Reminiscing and chatting about Christmas @ Primrose House

We started off playing a game of give me 5 where residents had to name things from a specific category (e.g. things you eat at Christmas).
