Our stories

What a great opportunity it has been for our residents as we participated in the Chip Butty Care Home Challenge.

We decided to be creative and innovative choosing the theme, Around the World in Chip Butties.

Bowerfield House had a great day celebrating Hat Day and the Queen`s Platinum Jubilee. We had lots of fun whilst we decorated our home red white and blue, we had our funny hats on for brain tumour research awareness. We enjoyed a lovely meal, our chef made a really royal feast.

Bowerfield House had a great day on Tuesday, the sun was shining and it was lovely to get out in the garden. We had our sports day which included welly throwing, egg and spoon race, bean bag target throwing and hoop throwing on cones, we had so much fun!

Last week we gathered at our artist’s table to put our brushes to paper and design our own hats, in a nod to Wear a Hat day in support of Brain Tumour Research.

To celebrate science week we finished the week with staff Friday challenge, Mad Scientist Day.

We all had a little fun on Friday 18th March to celebrate Red Nose Day as some of the people living with us and staff members wore their red noses and bobbers to support the event.

Here's some images from the day.

National Reflections Day is 23rd March this year and charities like Marie Curie are among many who will be supporting the millions of people who are grieving, and remembering the family, friends, neighbours and colleagues lost to the virus over the last two years.

Bowerfield House had a fantastic day celebrating St Patricks Day. We started our day with a gentle Irish sit down exercise class then enjoyed a lovely lunch, our chef made Irish Stew with dumplings.

We were so excited to be back on site to see how our beautiful home was coming along last week. Our garden's are being freshly prepared and the carpets have been fitted into our brand new luxury rooms. What a difference a few weeks make! Not long to go now.

Staff at Allingham House really enjoyed this magnificent training and can't wait for the next sessions.

Yesterday we recognised International Women’s Day. At River View we have a team of great men working and living here, but we also have some amazing women too.

Bowerfield House loves a good competition, we had a biscuit dunking competition to see which biscuit was the toughest. We all got involved, every one had a different theory.

At Hope Green women gathered together to chat, eat chocolate, walk in the spring sunshine, listen to music and read. The sunshine shone through the windows and there was a real air of hope and togetherness.
