Residents at Chollacott House in Tavistock were treated to an indoor fireworks night! In the cosy lounge, tucked up under blankets they enjoyed hotdogs and pumpkin soup. The highlight of the evening was the glowsticks – such fun!!
Hayden, resident at Chollacott House, Tavistock celebrated his 100th birthday this week. His daughters joined him in the garden for tea, cake and presents, and then staff and residents held a little tea party in the afternoon where he enjoyed a beer. Hayden is the 3rd centurion Chollacott House have had the pleasure of celebrating this year. Happy Birthday, Hayden!
Despite the challenges of lighting birthday cake candles outside on a breezy day, Birthdays continue to be important celebrations in all of our homes!
Even though we are not allowed visitors to come in to Chollacott to keep everybody safe, several residents have been able to see family and friends in the safety of the conservatory which has done wonders for their emotional well being.
Chollacott House resident, Will absolutely loves the outdoors and he has been enjoying some gardening, he has planted a selection of vegetables and strawberries and has to water them daily.
Chollacott House has been lucky enough today to celebrate another resident become a Centurion. Pauline Coverly enjoyed a social distancing 100th birthday celebration with her family. She had a thoroughly wonderful time under the circumstances.
Staff and residents came together in the lounge to observe the 2 minute silence and then had tea and cakes followed by a fun game of balloon bat and ball in very patriotic colours whilst listening to and singing along to Dame Vera Lynne.
I love this image of Chollacott House at night with the beautiful rainbow, painted by staff and residents, lit up as a symbol of thanks to our NHS and to all key workers during these challenging times.
Dhimo, our fabulous Activities Coordinator at Chollacott House in Tavistock, got residents busy painting the most beautiful rainbow this weekend, to let everyone know they are keeping safe. 
Peter turned 100 today! And what a wonderful celebration the staff at Chollacott House in Tavistock put on for him! An amazing cake, champagne, an enormous balloon. and of course, a card from The Queen. Such a shame that his family, who had planned to travel from Canada to be with him today, couldn’t join in with the party in person, but a Skype call in planned for this evening. Happy Birthday Peter from all of us at Stonehaven. Congratulations!!
