Our stories

To celebrate Random Acts of Kindness Day we had a lovely session painting kind words and images that meant something to the residents onto pebbles. A lovely time had by all with wonderful conversation of residents sharing memories and thoughtful words.

We enjoyed such a lovely Valentines Day at Ashfield Court with lots of lovely snacks and treats throughout the day. Our Chef, Douglas made us a gorgeous dinner and we relaxed in the afternoon with treats and a cup of tea.

We hope you all had a wonderful Valentines Day.

It was an extra-ROAR-dinary Chinese New Year celebration for everyone here in Amber Court. Residents and staff enjoyed the yummy Chinese foods tasting. Also, we made some Chinese lanterns to decorate the home with the help of our very talented residents and staff. Happy Chinese New Year!

Since it is National Pizza Day, we all gathered and ate different flavours of pizzas. We really enjoyed the day, we shared stories of our favourite pizza flavours and memories we got about pizza. We had a good laugh whilst socializing with each other.

Here at Troutbeck our residents and staff participated in writing some words of advice for Valentine's Day along with some messages for those within the home.

Staff at Windmill Court were overwhelmed by a special Staff Appreciate Day organised by the people living with us here in St Minver. Each staff member was presented with a card which had a packet of sweet peas attached, along with a lovely thank you note .

Our residents had a great time at yesterdays Valentines bash! We had Rich from Britain's Got Talent here to sing us some big band love songs. A great time was had by all.

There is a magnificent yew tree between Carmel Lodge and Hope Green care homes.

You may know that yew trees are traditionally grown in church yards. This is not symbolic, but practical in times gone by.

Love was in the air at Manorhey as residents made beautiful cards for their loved ones for Valentines Day. We all got very creative as everyone made their own cards personalised.

We were finally able to welcome in the wonderful Tickled Pink Productions to perform their version of Cinderella. It was an absolute hoot, keeping all who were watching engaged.

We celebrated burns night with haggis, neeps and tatties and washed down with a glass of whiskey. We listened to traditional bagpipes after remembering the life of Robert Burns, The peoples poet.

The Valentines Day activities are well underway, today Vera made a special gingerbread cookie for her daughter to tell her how much she loves her. In Italian of course!

Bowerfield House enjoyed celebrating the Queens Platinum Jubilee 70th Anniversary of her reign, what an amazing woman! Elizabeth II is already the nations longest reigning monarch, and the longest still serving sovereign in the world, no wonder the world loves her, long live the Queen.

For Chinese New Year our lovely residents enjoyed arts and crafts, creating Chinese lanterns and fans. Everyone was happy and we did the craft step by step so that everyone knew exactly how to make them.

We have made a beautiful dried flower wreath from flowers that have been sent in to Residents throughout the year.

We love the Craft Sessions and can't wait to getting potting seeds and bulbs for Spring.

A women's work is never done, but we had lots of fun at Bowerfield House sorting and pairing all these socks up. With Vera and Pauline on the job it didn't take long to pair up every one’s socks. They are all nicely put away in everyone's bedroom ready for another day.

The residents had a delicious Chinese dish for lunch. Either Sweet and Sour Chicken with rice or Vegetable stir fry. They enjoyed the decorations and the fun fortune cookies. We also found out which animal each resident is is regards to the Chinese calendar.

Bowerfield House enjoyed taking part in Dignity Day, we had staff and residents write on a wooden heart and display it on the dignity tree.
