Our stories

The Moors was overrun by Leprechauns this St Patrick's Day! The residents had great fun dressing up and Leprechaun hunting in the garden - as well as having a laugh at our staff members all dressed up and doing special St Patrick's Day word searches and crosswords. 

Here at Hope Green we had an amazing day full of events to take part in, including a bonnet competition, an Easter Egg hunt, and buffet lunch. It was great to see staff members dressed up and enjoying lots of fun and laughter in the garden on such a sunny spring day.

Marianne showed residents how to decoupage terracotta pots, using paper napkins. It was a delicate operation to separate the layers of napkins, then stick to the pots with PVA glue, finished off with a varnish. 

All residents and staff thoroughly enjoyed the experience of the chicks who have now headed back to their farm in Yorkshire. The chicks definitely enjoyed their time here with us too! Happy Easter to everyone from all at Bowerfield Court. 

Much Easter love and thanks to Walthamstow Stadium Area Residents/Community Association for all these wonderful Easter eggs, a gift for each resident. Such a kind and heartfelt gesture.

On Good Friday our residents enjoyed hot cross buns while taking part in an Easter quiz. One resident said "this takes me back to when I was young" and we discussed different Easter memories.

We've been getting creative and produced some lovely art work to hang on the wall. We have also added to our spring meadow with a flock of sheep and some colourful butterflies.

The people we care for at Parkview have been busy bunnies this Easter, putting their creative skills to work with everything from cards to eggs. It's been a smashing time. Happy Easter to you all from everyone at Parkview House. 

Vicky Swindells was voted for by staff and residents for always being cheerful and helping in any situation.

We have been busy planting bulbs indoors, we've chosen lillies to nurture ensuring they have enough water and sunlight to blossom we shall keep you updated with their progress.  

Everyone enjoys a good board game and at Abingdon Court we ensure that everyone can play if they wish, larger dice and counters make this easier. Residents also use the dice to throw which as well keeping the activities team on their toes is a great fun way to keep active. 

Our residents enjoying being outside in the beautiful weather with the duo Ian and Al singing some of our favourite songs for us. We all enjoyed getting out in the fresh air, celebrating the lovely weather with a sherry and donuts.  

Here at Thorntree Mews we wanted to do something to take part in the National Day of Reflection and had a sign created and tied to the railing in yellow ribbon to symbolise a year since the first lockdown.

At Cedar Court our residents are getting ready to wear their Easter Bonnets. They did such an excellent job we thought we should share it with you all. All the bonnets are on display in our reception until Easter, it makes us feel joyful just looking at them. Spring is in the air!

With our hairdressers unable to visit the staff at Bowerfield Court have ensured the people living with us still get some much needed pamper time. A visit to our inhouse hair salon is a great way to spend a morning.

One of our carers, Glezel is a professional karaoke performer and often entertains the staff and the residents here at Belmont House.
