Appletree Court Care Home had a their very own culture day...

Everyone living and working at Appletree Court enjoyed a variety of dishes and snacks from different cultures within their community to taste and enjoy.

The day was filled with scrumptious food and fun exploring and celebrating other cultures, it was a fantastic time for everyone who got involved!

Being based in the The Strand Community Centre, we see the amazing work that the local food bank does for the community and we as an organisation wanted to support them with a much-needed donation. We also wanted to say a specific thank you to Marie, not only for all her hard work but for her friendship to us since starting at the Strand.

In response to our residents wishes, our care home embarked on a remarkable journey to the seaside. With the full support of our dedicated team, we made it happen! 🌟

Despite the travel time of over an hour, the joy and happiness on our residents' faces made every minute worth it. This seaside adventure not only brought smiles but also had a significant impact on their overall wellbeing. 🏖️❤️

Situated in the pretty village of Biddenham in Bedfordshire, just 2 miles from the bustling market town of Bedford, Bentley Grange is a brand-new purpose-built luxury care home with 60 spacious en-suite rooms.

Our aim is to provide exceptional and personalised residential, dementia and nursing care in a high-quality and tranquil setting.

🌈Pride Month is an entire month dedicated to the uplifting of LGBTQ+ voices, celebration of their culture and rights and here at Abingdon Court we wanted to show our support! 🫶

 

Since the start of the year, we have been conducting well-being sessions with TTF Well-Being for our residents.  Sessions include a variety of activities from chair yoga, fitness, meditation and breathwork which have all been a remarkable success.

“At Highfield Care Home, our residents’ well-being is at the forefront of our minds,” said Aaron Barham, the care home’s manager.  “Our partnership with TTF Well-Being allows us to provide our residents with unique and beneficial well-being sessions that have been extremely well-received.”
