Residents of Ashfield Court Care Home had a great afternoon flipping pancakes on Shrove Tuesday. We asked our residents how they’d like their pancakes and a few said they’d like to have a try at making their own. 

WOW! March is here, another month of experiences designed to be interesting and stimulating and above all fun.

Highlighted activities for March at Clarendon Court are;

Bond entertainment presents ‘song’s from the musicals, a great afternoon of entertainment on Thursday 5th at 2pm in the Stapeley suite.

Jed who is extremely excited to dress up as the March Hare for our Mad Hatter Tea Party. Our residents have been working very hard on their costumes and the decorations. We cannot wait until the big day! There will be face painting, dressing up and theme appropriate games like pin the grin on the Cheshire Cat in the morning. Our tea party will be at dinner time. In the afternoon we will be watching the Alice in Wonderland film.

It was a special outing for one of our resident's Audrey as it was the first time she was feeling up to going on one of our Wednesday outings. She used to go to Disley Community Centre every week for cuppa and chat and would bake cakes for everyone and help out in the kitchen. Since living in Bowerfield Court she has not been feeling well enough to make it back. We planned to have this outing for months, but last Wednesday was finally the perfect day despite the snow. She was excited to see many friends she has not seen in months. 

We had a great Valentines Day at Bowerfield Court with a buffet party, cake decorating, bucks fizz and romantic films in the afternoon. Prior to the big day we had made decorations, Valentines and had special Valentines Day entertainment.

On the 21st February, Hope Green held their Memory Café with lots of guests including the Mayor of Macclesfield. We had an acoustic band with lots of singing and dancing, homemade cakes and games to play.

Our residents and visitors thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Residents and families of Howgate House were invited to a community coffee morning at the local Primary School.

Four of our ladies and their daughters had a lovely morning chatting and meeting new people. Homemade cakes and biscuits that the school children had made were enjoyed with a cup of tea. Residents received a lovely thank you card with a chocolate heart on it and the children made a delicious chocolate for everyone to enjoy at Howgate House. 

On Valentines Day Howgate House residents enjoyed a good old singalong with percussion instruments.

The shakers were homemade out of old plastic bottles with dried corn, peas and beans. 

Fun afternoon enjoyed by all. 

The residents at Skell Lodge loved meeting our new friend Annie (the dog). Annie comes to see us every week and we get cuddles and the chance to feed her biscuits. 

Congratulations to our employee of the month Flenton D'Cruz at Abingdon Court Care Home.
