Over the weekend we held a special event at Kents Hill Care Home and we planted a tree in celebration of the Platinum Jubilee! The Mayor of Milton Keynes, Cllr Mohammed Khan, joined us for the event and personally helped to plant the tree and held conversations with our Residents. It was a beautiful day, enjoyed by all our Residents and the team and we are very grateful to the Mayor for taking his time and joining us all for such special day.

This week in Cedar Court we had a donation of some flowers and the residents took part in a flower arranging activity.  The residents who took part created some wonderful floral displays to take back to their rooms and enjoyed the creativity of the activity.

Last week we celebrated both the Queens 96th Birthday and St Georges Day at Cedar Court with entertainment in the garden with Lauren from Mack Entertainment.  We were graced with beautiful sunshine and enjoyed birthday cake whilst Lauren entertained us with songs and a very patriotic Happy Birthday to Her Majesty and God Save the Queen.   During a recent art and craft session we had decorated crowns, which will form the centrepiece for the Queens Jubilee in June.  Also, in attendance we had our very o

The Ashmead residents received a treat from an entertainer on Friday 22nd April. They enjoyed songs dating from the 50’s through to the 80’s, with the entertainer dressing to match the era of his songs. 

The talented chefs that work at Water Royd Care Home couldnt wait to show off their skills by creating a variety of different cakes and desserts for the all the people at our home to try.  Not only did these look good, they tasted incredible too.

Our lovely residents enjoyed some live entertainment outside in the sunshine with a talented couple who put on and outstanding performance. They sang a large range of different song choices for the people living with us, which was really enjoyed.  There was singing, dancing, laughter, sunshine and refreshments which all made a wonderful afternoon for all the came along.

Residents and staff were delighted when Roger the Rabbit showed at Ashmead bearing Easter treats including daffodils, Easter eggs and chocolate bars. Roger “hopped and jumped” throughout the centre and with his helpers, ensured that no person was left without a surprise gift. 

The people living at Buckingham House really wanted to celebrate the Queens 96th Birthday with some cheese and crackers and of course cake.  The team decorated the outside space and people came out to enjoy some glorious weather and nibbles whilst raising a toast.  

Our Easter activity proved to be a huge success, and our Residents really enjoyed this experience. It was a highly awaited Easter project here at Kents Hill and we were all very excited when the eggs finally arrived! They all started to hatch just after two days, and we now have 9 beautiful little chicks which bring our Residents a lot of joy!

To end a month of Easter craft and related activities all communal dining areas were decorated for the Easter Sunday lunch, and as an egg-citing end to Easter the residents were visited by the Cedar Court bunnies offering chocolate eggs or soft desserts to all residents.  This was followed by an Easter themed hymn concert.  The residents were thrilled to see the arrival of the bunnies and enjoyed their Easter treats.  Also, during the morning the winners of the Easter Bonnet competition, which was judged by the Mayor, were awarded their prizes.
