Our stories

We love being creative at Earsdon Grange and doing a little home baking.  We spotted some plain biscuits on the tea trolley and thought we'd give them a bit of a revamp.  Two of our residents enjoyed decorating biscuits for the afternoon tea trolley.

We are proud of our heritage at Ashfield Court and were delighted to celebrate Yorkshire Day on 1st August at the home.

We enjoyed some Yorkshire tea and Yorkshire treats and all had a very lovely day.

Covid-19 has affected Belvoir Vale just like it has many other homes around the country. Residents are missing going out and about, having entertainers in and most of all seeing their families.

On the 1st of August everyone at Clumber Court Care Home enjoyed a beach day in the garden. It was an amazing day and we had a BBQ, games, bubble wands, a sand pit and lots of fun and laughter. 

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.
