Our stories

We had a great day playing games, snakes and ladders, brick tower, tiddlywinks plus more. Our residents enjoyed all the different games played.

Mollie planted some cress earlier in the month and left some little pots growing on the window sills, she was pleasantly surprised to see just how much it had grown in such a short space of time.

For National Umbrella Day the residents had fun designing their own umbrellas in wonderful bright colours and patterns, very appropriate for the showers we were getting between the beautiful sunshine. They loved seeing their designs come to life as they folded together and a handle added.

At River View we did things in duplicate today as its certainly a day to remember - 22.2.22 and its Twosday!

2 colleagues, 2 napkins, 2 pens, 2 wishes and 2 prayers.

Make a wish and mark this day!

Since we received our OMI Vista Mobii at the beginning of December, we have spent a lot of time investigating and exploring the different capabilities and activities on offer.

The residents at Carmel Lodge have been spending time during the wet weather creating a seasonal collage. They have included themselves as the people in the pictures, some are hand drawn due to data protection, but they know who they are.

We encourage everyone living with us who is able, to engage in regular physical activity through group activity sessions.

As well as the physical health benefits, we really do have a lot of fun!

To celebrate Random Acts of Kindness Day we had a lovely session painting kind words and images that meant something to the residents onto pebbles. A lovely time had by all with wonderful conversation of residents sharing memories and thoughtful words.

We enjoyed such a lovely Valentines Day at Ashfield Court with lots of lovely snacks and treats throughout the day. Our Chef, Douglas made us a gorgeous dinner and we relaxed in the afternoon with treats and a cup of tea.

We hope you all had a wonderful Valentines Day.

It was an extra-ROAR-dinary Chinese New Year celebration for everyone here in Amber Court. Residents and staff enjoyed the yummy Chinese foods tasting. Also, we made some Chinese lanterns to decorate the home with the help of our very talented residents and staff. Happy Chinese New Year!

Since it is National Pizza Day, we all gathered and ate different flavours of pizzas. We really enjoyed the day, we shared stories of our favourite pizza flavours and memories we got about pizza. We had a good laugh whilst socializing with each other.

Here at Troutbeck our residents and staff participated in writing some words of advice for Valentine's Day along with some messages for those within the home.

Staff at Windmill Court were overwhelmed by a special Staff Appreciate Day organised by the people living with us here in St Minver. Each staff member was presented with a card which had a packet of sweet peas attached, along with a lovely thank you note .

Our residents had a great time at yesterdays Valentines bash! We had Rich from Britain's Got Talent here to sing us some big band love songs. A great time was had by all.

There is a magnificent yew tree between Carmel Lodge and Hope Green care homes.

You may know that yew trees are traditionally grown in church yards. This is not symbolic, but practical in times gone by.

Love was in the air at Manorhey as residents made beautiful cards for their loved ones for Valentines Day. We all got very creative as everyone made their own cards personalised.
