Here at Rosedale Nursing Home we believe that food is the key to a happy home and we believe our standards in the kitchen are high which includes not only the food we serve but also the cleanliness and hygiene of the kitchen at Rosedale. This is something our Head Chef, Maya Limbu, has taken very seriously in the 3 years she has been at Rosedale. Since joining the team Maya has ensured that standards are met in every aspect whether this be cleanliness, nutrition or preparing the best food for the residents.  We were delighted that when we were inspected in January 2020 the Fo

Cavendish Court is a part of the worldwide initative of 'Postcards of Kindness'.

The home manager joined the Facebook group and that's when the excitement started. Postcards have arrived from all around the world, Dubai, Australia, America and all over the UK. The residents sit and have a cup of tea and talk about what people around the world have written to them and respond to those people who ask for responses.

Last week we took a virtual cruise in Windmill Court. Our virtual ship called in at a different port each day, and finally docked back in England on Friday, just in time for fish and chips.

On the 12th November  Katy from EL Pony Therapy came to visit The Moors Care Centre with her a 10 year old American miniature horse called Monet. The white and brown blue eyed horse visited most of the residents in the home. Monet has been on good morning TV and is very handy around the house; helping with emptying the washing machine. 

Monet is more like a large dog than a horse, he went all over the home and was so gentle and calm with all the residents. 

Residents at Skell Lodge in Ripon had a busy month making a Christmas tree out of recycled items for the Ripon winter wonderland tree competition. We spent many hours making caricatures of ourselves, looking at old photographs of what we used to look like and recreating them. The tree was displayed in Spa Gardens among many more entries and was seen by hundreds of people as they visited the event.

December brought with it a time for bringing people together and a feeling of warmth, joy and happiness. Over the course of December we were delighted to open our doors to students from local schools to sing carols for our residents. The students not only sang rehearsed carol songs and well known Christmas classics but also handed out Christmas cards and invited conversation by introducing themselves to residents. Some students had learned Christmas songs through Makaton and rehearsed dance actions to relate to the carols.

On the 17th December we held a day to raise money for the Alzheimer's society by dressing up as elf’s for the day and participating in games with many treats to go around. We had guess the name of the elf teddy, pick a number to win a prize, there was a tombola and an ongoing raffle. This is for those who did not have a chance to buy a ticket on the day to be able to and for us to increase the amount raised for the Alzheimer's Society.
