Our stories

One of our residents has a journal of her life and we talked about the places she has visited and the experiences she has had. She said that she has had a wonderful and exciting life when she was a young girl. She loved to dress up and enjoyed eating out with friend and traveling.

Residents at Bowerfield House have been enjoying lots of activities. Some of the residents favourites were flower arranging, pizza making and we celebrated Mother's Day and St Patrick's Day in style with our Irish queen Helena. It was a great week with lots of fun and laughter. 

We celebrated in style at Abingdon Court. The activities team of course were dressed to the nines in full on St Patrick's Day themed outfits whilst the rest of the staff team, never ones to miss out, made sure that they were wearing something green to join in with the fun. 

What an amazing surprise this morning for all residents and staff. Overnight we have had two of our eggs hatch!

Mother's Day was a very special day at Allingham House , the residents could speak with their families by phones and videocalls meanwhile received cards and presents from them. 

Mothering Sunday at Manorhey was lovely, we enjoyed an afternoon tea with cakes, sandwiches and scones with cream and jam and tea served in china. All mums here and including Grandmas received beautiful cards, gifts and flowers which really did make their day special. 

As part of our monthly visits to different countries we decided to go to Mexico. We decorated our home ready for a Mexico themed fun-filled day which we ended with a fiesta. We dressed in sombreros and ponchos and enjoyed tacos and nachos with cheese, salsa and sour cream dips.

To celebrate St David's Day we filled Riverview with daffodils and enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea. In the words of St David, "Be joyful, keep the faith and do the little things that you have heard and seen me do."

Celebrating Mother's Day with afternoon tea for our 4 special mums.

We had a film afternoon. The residents thoroughly enjoyed a film from their past and their theatre treats. 

A wonderful day had by all at Kents Hill Care Home; flower arranging was one of the activities for Mothers Day.  Some fantastic displays/ centre pieces to enjoy.  

The residents at Kents Hill Care Home enjoyed a traditional meal for Spam Appreciation Week; Spam fritters, chips and beans.  It was enjoyed by many

Today we had a go at making bread in a bag. We had great fun with the dough squeezing and trying to get it all to come together. Took a while but residents did enjoy.  We chatted about home baking and all the things they used to bake at home.

Our residents at Buckingham House have been busy preparing our Sanctuary - Demebtia Garden. We've made the most of the sunny day to repot some of our beautiful flowering places. 

To celebrate British Pie week here at Manorhey we prepped and baked our favourite pies including chicken and leek, cheese and onion and a meat pie. We must say they were lovely and we really enjoyed them, cheese and onion was the chosen favourite of the day.
