Our stories

Whilst Ladies Day at Royal Ascot was opened by HRH Queen Elizabeth, River View Ladies Day was opened by our very own HM Lizzy Gondo !

River View were really excited and absolutely delighted to recently be able to welcome Boonies Pet Therapy.

The people living with us really enjoyed making the fruit kebabs.  It triggered nice memories of when they were children picking fruit from trees and making fruit pies at home with their mums. Other residents also spoke of during the war time when fruit was very scarce.

Being able to express yourself creatively is so important and can be so therapeutic.  We got the paints out with some of the people who wanted to get painting and enjoy a creative afternoon.  The end results were really lovely. 

We are all grateful to our dear carers working in Amber Court. But this day we took part to celebrate their hard work and care that they put to our residents. We created a mini party for them and gave them treats they deserved.

We really appreciate our team of carers at Woodlands and wanted to take a little time to thank them for all their hard work.  We had some lovely food, cakes and gifts in the garden.
 

We got in our minibus with some of the people living with us and headed out to the seaside.  It was so lovely to get to see the beach at Exmouth and see the RNLI boat.  We of course finished the day with a lovely ice-cream.

We hosted an afternoon tea party to celebrate the gentleman in the home who have been fathers or that father like figure in people lives. It was a really lovely afternoon.

Taking the time to speak to the people who live with us at Belvoir Care Home is really important to us.  We like to discuss the activities that are being provided in the home to ensure that the activities and trips that are enjoyed by all.

In this weather who doesnt like to dine outside so we gave the people living with us the option of dining alfresco today.
It was very popular as we served their usual fish and chips outdoors with a few extra salads to choose from.  Pudding was of course ice cream! 

We have an amazing tree at Buckingham house, its our Genies Wishes Tree. 

Some of the people living with us wanted to get outside and enjoy the lovely weather.  So before it got too warm we popped out and had some fun playing dominoes in the garden.

One of our lovely carers Ange who has been with us for 7 years, hand stitched this wonderful picture to hang on our walls to celebrate the Queens 70th Jubilee.  We are all so grateful to Ange for taking the time to create this for Belvoir Vale.

Every Monday morning we have a gentleman called Sam who comes to our home to do some chair exercises with the people living with us. This is a massive hit with all ladies and gents of all abilities. 

As part of the celebration of Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, we decided to give a little present for the relatives who came and celebrated with us. They are very grateful to received potted flowers from Abbey View.

One of our resident’s daughter donated these lovely crafts that she made specially for the Queen’s Jubilee. Look how lovely they are! We hanged the bunting in the front door to welcome everyone coming to the home and the Queen’s miniature is displayed in the reception area.

We took some of the people living with us on the mini bus to Eaton. We went to Bating Lake, the fish pond and then over to the cafe for some refreshments. After we decided to have a walk all around the park where one of the residents saw a herring, which was fascinating to watch.  

The people living at Gateford Hill found the children from a local pre school to be so uplifting on their recent visit. It triggered so many lovely memories of when their children were little.

Some wonderful photos from our celebrations of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee here at Kings Court

After weeks spent designing, colouring, painting and sticking together our home made decorations we were able to display them all with great pride at our garden party.

As the season goes warmer each day, we took the opportunity to have our residents spend at least an hour a day outside. This day, Geoffrey, Roy and Margaret took time to savour the warmth of the sun and fresh air filled their body. It was indeed a good sunny day

One of our residents celebrated her 100th birthday this week.

We set up a cream tea for herself, daughter and granddaughter to enjoy in the sunshine under the gazebo

The people living with us really enjoy the ‘Sing & Smile’ event we hosted this afternoon.  We do this every week and we even have relatives who come in each week to join in the fun! I just love to see the happy, smiling faces.
