Our stories

We celebrated the Queens birthday by Planting a tree for the Queens Green Canopy initiative, created to mark Her Majesty's Platinum jubilee which invites people from across the nation to plant a tree for the jubilee, we chose a flowering Cherry.

Here at Birch Heath our residents got creative for Easter they made some daffodils and also created a wreath for the front door. In the main reception we created a cherry blossom arch and an Easter forest.

Music and movement, a walk in the garden and a game of skittles.

The sun was shining today, so we had a lovely trip to the ice cream shop and then the park. The residents all enjoyed their favourite flavour of ice cream and once we had finished we made our way to the local park. The park was busy with dogs and their owners.

Every Monday afternoon, we’re taking residents for a walk going to a near parks, gardens, coffee shops or in a near restaurant. But this day we took Wayne to a coffee shop and had a nice cup of tea.

We decided to create an Easter wreath in our reception to welcome everyone visiting the home. Everyone is so amazed to see how creative and lovely the wreath is, especially the resident’s relatives.

Our little bunny saying, “Happy Easter Everyone!”.

Our Easter activity proved to be a huge success, and our Residents really enjoyed this experience. It was a highly awaited Easter project here at Kents Hill and we were all very excited when the eggs finally arrived!

To end a month of Easter craft and related activities all communal dining areas were decorated for the Easter Sunday lunch, and as an egg-citing end to Easter the residents were visited by the Cedar Court bunnies offering chocolate eggs or soft desserts to all residents.&n

Pop Up Ice Cream Parlour is great success!

Our craft club is always looking at different ways of being creative and we were delighted with the results of our Rock Painting. Residents decided they would like to use red white and blue colours so the rocks could be used throughout the year in the celebrations of the Queens Platinum Jubilee.

The residents enjoyed many different activities to celebrate one of the most important days at the Grand National, Ladies Day.

It was important to us to provide a time of Reflections on Good Friday with Easter Hymns and words of contemplation so we combined this with our Painting Club. It was great to see everyone enjoying the relaxing atmosphere, with residents singing along to familiar hymns whilst painting.

The Grand National is the most famous of British Horse races. It was first run in 1839 and is a race over distance of 4 miles and 2 and a half furlongs. There are 30 jumps.

Our lovely residents were preparing ahead of our Easter bonnet competition

A lot of hard work has gone into making our Easter bonnets this year and we have had a Parade to show off everyone's work! Residents enjoyed showing off their hats to our judges Bronwen and Nurse Hannah. It was a good laugh for everyone to join in and have a bit of Easter fun!

Bowerfield House would love to wish everyone a very Happy Easter. We celebrated with dressing up in an Easter Hen outfit which made all residents giggle and every resident and staff member enjoyed an Easter Egg.

Acorn House are over the moon with the recent Health Watch report which followed after an unannounced visit, care home manager Cherise Homer-Beck said we are so happy with the report feed back and really pleased with some of the kind comments made to the health watch inspectors by staff, visitors
