Our stories

Here at Manor Park we celebrated a resident's 100th Birthday due to lockdown family was unable to visit but we made a special effort to make sure Daisy had a fabulous day.

Today we've been painting snail plant pots, with the aim of having a little trail of them in the sensory garden at Belvoir Vale Care Home. 

Crafts are a big hit at The Moors Care Home from colouring, painting, sticking and lots more. 

It is always a fun afternoon and sessions are all themed for the date and time of the year.

The ice cream van visited The Moors Care Home on a Friday afternoon with a choice of a number of delicious ice creams and cones for all the residents and staff. A wonderful treat for everyone on a hot sunny day.

In the past we have been blessed with regular visits by children from a local nursery but unfortunately we haven't been able to see them for the last few months and we have missed their visits.

We might be living through very different times at the moment at Garden Hill with regards to visitors in the home but we are still continuing to do a lot of activities we have always done.  Every week with our activities coordinator at the home, Stacey, we have been doing our chair exercises

Heeley Bank Manager, Lynne Cannell and her team launched the 999 afternoon tea break week on Monday 3rd August with a celebration of Yorkshire pudding and onion gravy.

This month has been filled with activities focusing on our theme of "Around the World". We have celebrated all of the continents throughout this month.

Lovely afternoon at Troutbeck when two fabulous ladies played some wonderful tunes. Enjoyed by our residents despite the impending rain- thank you for visiting and playing in the garden.

Fantastic time this afternoon modelling with saltdough at Heeley Bank. Wonderful bright colours and lots of enthusiasm from our resident artists. 

Local children took the time to create artwork and send letters to cheer up everyone at Heeley Bank during lockdown. The residents really liked the colourful pictures and the kind words.

Pauline moved into Monread Lodge in April for some respite as she had not been coping so well on her own. She still wanted to eventually try and go home as much as she loved being at Monread.

It was world chocolate day and we indulged in over twenty different varieties of chocolate tasting, served with a mixture of herbal teas. Residents loved the social afternoon and the theme linked songs and some requests along the way. A great afternoon for all at Cavendish Court.
