Employee of the Month @The Manor

A very big well done to Lucy!!

Lucy was recently invited to speak at the Care & Occupational Therapy Show at Westpoint Arena, where she gave a presentation on how she uses Famileo at The Manor to help residents stay connected with their loved ones. It was a fantastic opportunity to share some of the wonderful things we do here and the positive impact Famileo has on our residents and families. To prepare for the presentation, she spent many extra hours both at work and at home putting everything together, making sure she represented The Manor in the best possible way!


National Cocktail Day @The Manor

Cheers to National Cocktail Day… with a twist!

Today our wonderful residents enjoyed getting creative by making a selection of delicious mocktails! From fruity favourites to refreshing classics, there were plenty of smiles, laughter, and tasty treats to go around.

It’s amazing how a simple activity can spark conversation, creativity, and happy memories. Here’s to celebrating together and making every day a little brighter!

What would your favourite mocktail be?


 

Keeley’s Cafe @ The Manor

Keeley’s cafe was another huge success this month! Residents love choosing from the menu, adding extra treats to their breakfasts, and some even went all out with a full English. One of the best parts of Keeley’s cafe is seeing the excitement on everyone’s face when the menu arrives- And even bigger smiles when the food follows!


Sharing Chocolate Treasures @ The Manor

Spreading smiles and little treasures – A little chocolatey magic delivered to every resident this Easter! But we find that the best part of Easter is seeing all the smiles bloom so bright. 




There’s a Spring in our Step @The Manor

A 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!

Christmas Time @ The Manor

Christmas snacks and drinks have begun here at The Manor! We’ve even started with the Christmas games! Mo and Sheila had great fun playing a festive game with Jacob, who bravely wore the inflatable reindeer antlers while they tried to toss the hoops over them! Our lovely residents have also enjoyed a lovely festive outing to the garden centre. We wrapped up warm, hopped on our bus, and spent the morning exploring the displays. Here we are soaking up the Christmas magic. So stay tuned for what is to come in December!!!
