With the sun peeking its head round the curtain, we thought it would be appropriate to get some sunflowers on the go! 🌻🌼🌞

We are not short of gardening experts here at Abingdon Court, so together we were able to get 5 variants of sunflower on the go, ready to be re-potted later in the year!

Keep your eyes peeled to see how they get on 👀

We started a gardening club on 24th April, our gardener Paul was very excited about this.

The people living with us planted over 40 sunflower seeds, we hope they all germinate so we can plant them in our lovely garden.

The people living with us had a wonderful afternoon full of live music.

Peter Piper sang songs in our lounge then he went to visit more people in their rooms. It was a very enjoyable afternoon and they are looking forward to him performing again.

Here at Woodland Care Home, we had a lovely four days of Easter Celebrations. 

We had an Easter fayre, bunnies came to see the people living with us, a Church visit, and live entertainment enjoyed with teas and cakes.

Family and friends came to visit over the Easter weekend, and they even took part in some of the activities.

On the last day of our Easter Celebrations we enjoyed live music with family and friends.

Everyone enjoyed refreshments, hot cross buns and Easter cupcakes. The people living with us had a good old dance and sing song.

Easter celebrations at Abingdon Court were filled with joy and creativity! Bringing smiles and Easter cheer to the wonderful people who live here!

We spent the day making beautiful Easter bonnets 👒, scrumptious nest cakes🪺, and arranging fresh spring flowers🐰🌷🌸

It's heartwarming to see everyone coming together and enjoying the holiday spirit. Happy Easter to all! 🐰

The Hawthorns recently invited some children from the local community to come and help the people that live with us prepare for their Easter celebrations.

Everyone got involved in creating some Easter decorations to be put around the home.

Today is the birthday of prolific and groundbreaking painter; Vincent Van Gogh. One might say it’s ambitious to try and recreate the famous Starry Night painting, but ambition is one of our core values here at Abingdon Court.

 

Pinewood's residents, friends and family, and staff all came together on 22nd March to celebrate their 30th birthday. 

They celebrated in style with a buffet lunch, live entertainment and lots of decorations to make the day very special.

The care home's Lifestyle Coordinator Ioana Adler said: "We are so proud of the service we’ve provided to this community for three decades, and that we hope to continue offering the best possible care environment for many decades to come."

Last week, we introduced More… Moments to our home!

 

Every day, our fantastic family of staff bend over backwards to create meaningful moments with those living here - this attitude is integral to creating a homely environment, of which we are very proud of here at Abingdon Court!
