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.

At Abingdon Court, providing Arts in Care Homes is an integral part of our ethos when delivering our care. We are always ✨pursuing greatness✨ - you do not have to be artistic to benefit from the arts.

 

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!

 

Every week in our poetry club, those living with us collectively write a poem. This is based on an idea or theme of the poems which we read aloud together. We thought these poem needed a home, so we’ve created this album to store them week by week. Check out what we have so far!

The people living with us at The Hawthorns had a special visit this week from some furry friends. 

Everyone living with us got to cuddle and feed the Guinea Pigs, especially as they visited everyone's rooms for people who may struggle to get out of bed.

The people that live with us had a great time with the animals, and very much look forward to them coming again. 

At Abingdon Court we unleashed our inner child with a ‘Big Musical Pass the Parcel’ organised by Veronica, one of the lovely ladies who lives with us.

 

It’s so important that those living here are involved in the development of the activities programme, making sure we are delivering the things that they want to see and do throughout the week.

Veronica loved putting together this activity with the help of the Lifestyle team, bringing everyone together.
