Our stories

At Ashfield Court we enjoy many different activities such as, arts and crafts, music sessions, gardening and even fun exercise sessions.

We have been looking at photos of animals and holiday destinations the residents love reminiscing about holidays they have been on.

We all so love a sing a long

We had a great time at Alexandra, watching movies and eating popcorn!

We had a wonderful time making no bake cheesecakes. We had blueberry, strawberry and vanilla. Teamwork made for laughter as our residents worked together helping each other finish their tasks.

In the month of May, we celebrated Nita's birthday. Nita celebrated in style. 

We would like to wish her a very happy birthday! 

We celebrated International Nurses Day in our lounge with people living with us and staff. Our fantastic nurses each got a certificate, bottle of wine and other gifts. Our amazing kitchen team created some Blue and White cup cakes, which tasted lovely.

Supporting peoples independence is something that we like to achieve at our home and it is different from person to person but no matter what the task, they all come with their own sense of accomplishment. 

We wanted to do something special to celebrate the amazing nurses that we have at Buckingham House care home.  We all met outside for some refreshments and the home manager gave each of our nurses a gift to thank them for all the incredible work that they do.

International Nurses Day, such an important day when we celebrate all the amazing work all nurses do day in day out. 
We are so lucky to have exceptionally dedicated nurses working with us and today we would like to recognise them and thank them for all they do! 

Pets really bring joy to the hearts of the people living with us at Water Royd Care home.   Spending time with animals is so beneficial and something that we love happening here.  Everyone enjoyed a nice visit from our little furry friend Luna, and his buddy.

We were looking for new ideas for what we can sell out our upcoming spring fayre and we decided that we would try new activity.  We got some scarfs and the people living with using the tie dye process created some beautiful and unique designs.

Over the weekend we held a special event at Kents Hill Care Home and we planted a tree in celebration of the Platinum Jubilee!

More fun at Willowdene In April when we enjoyed afternoon tea for the Queens 96th birthday we had a sing a long and a quiz about Royalty with some hilarious answers from the residents.  We had such a great day and hoped the Queen had as much fun as we did.

The residents are always telling us how much they miss their pets, so we have a new resident in the home.  Angus, a soft pet which the residents are able to cuddle and pet whenever they want.  They have a lovely visit from Angus in April and can’t wait for when the pet therapy dogs are

Our residents enjoy working on a crossword together. One of their favourites is the Yorkshire Post crossword puzzle. A couple of weeks ago they decided to tackle the YP giant crossword. We may have bitten off more than we can chew - we’re still working on it!

Thank you to Emma from Spa Shop on Lowther Street who donated £200 worth of Easter flowers for our ladies who live in the home. They had such a wonderful surprise when our Manager and Lifestyle Coordinatored dropped by with various boxes and bouquets from you.

Easter arrived at the home and for Easter Sunday during arts and crafts in the upcoming week our residents created Easter bonnets to wear on Easter Sunday.  We think they did a terrific job of them.
