Our stories

All the resident, visitor and staff mothers were spoilt at Ashmead on Mother’s Day on 27th March 22.

The people living with us at Windmill Court enjoyed showing off their crimping skills, making pasties to celebrate the national day of Cornwall, St Piran’s day.

Our residents began preparing for summer today! It was a lovely bright and warm day so we pulled out the spf 50 sunscreen and soaked up the rays. Out came the seed trays and we enjoyed an afternoon of sunbathing and planting seeds for the garden.

Nora celebrated her 106th Birthday, where she was presented a signed birthday letter from the entire Manchester United football Club, by Jane Clinch Home Manager for Gateford Hill Care Home, Jan Hemsworth, Deputy Home Manager and Lindsay Tanner, Hospitality Manager.

Being creative is so good for your brain and overall wellness, Kents Hill has a varied Art Club at the home that is well attend.  This week the group were making their very own personalised canvas bags, there were some  beautiful designs by the end of the class.

We have really embraced the sunshine this week and had everyone out for cocktail making whilst soaking up the rays! It was lovely to get out and feel the warmth and enjoy a gin or two!

For the second consecutive year, Allingham House joined to the celebrations of Red Nose Day, organising a Fundraising Coffee Morning. Residents, staff and families joined together on this very special event.

We had a smashing time drumming up support for Comic Relief: by taking part in Red Nose Day!

Today we had a visit from Chloe's Mobile Farm. Chloe brought along some ponies, donkeys, rabbits, guinea pigs, ducks and her dog Nelly.

We chose to celebrate St Patricks Day in style with Irish music and

a green layered shamrock cake washed down with one of life's most pleasurable indulgences - Baileys Irish Cream, served as part of an Irish coffee.

We took full advantage of the sunshine this afternoon, with several of the people living with us enjoying a lovely cuppa out in the garden

Yesterday we moved the party out side to enjoy the early spring sun. A great time was had all by all. This as been Alan’s first time back with us since the 1st covid lock down 2 years ago. It was great to see him back.

We were all fortunate enough to be able to celebrate the 100th Birthday of a fine gentleman who lives with us here at Abingdon Court. What a milestone - he was able to be joined by family and friends to receive cards and gifts; including a 100th birthday message from Her Majesty The Queen.

Mabel really enjoyed having a pamper and a hand massage finished nicely with lovely painted nails. 

Troutbeck enjoyed a selection of delicious fruits as part of our awareness week detailing the importance of Nutrition and Hydration.

Here we are Celebrating St Patricks Day at Troutbeck. Social activities are a great way to keep everyone emotionally stimulated, sparking memories that gives us all a great boost.
