We love celebrating birthdays but when it is a milestone birthday, we like to go that extra mile by celebrating in style!

The Big Challenge was completed with miles left to spare at Kents Hill Care Home last week.  

The residents, staff, relatives and local community all came together to reach the target of 786miles for Alzheimer's Research.  

A huge well done to all for your hard work.  

We always enjoy supporting our local hospice, KEMP, who partnered with Wildjac Home Grown Distillery, based in the Wyre Forest to being a fantastic gin tasting experience to the homes of many.  Our residents thoroughly enjoyed this activity, in the knowledge they they were supporting our local community whilst having so much fun!.

Those living at The Wharf Care Home have been enjoying the sunshine, planting sunflowers. Whose will grow the tallest is going to get very competitive whilst all good fun!. For those not outside we took the sunflowers to them.  Sunflowers bringing happiness inside and out. 

Happy Easter from all of us at The Wharf Care Home!

You're never fully dressed without great hair!

Our Residents have certainly missed this!

Dominoes is a suitable game the elderly and adults with learning disabilities can play and thoroughly enjoy. Dominoes can also be used for simple matching and sorting activities for people with dementia and Alzheimer’s and is a great way to boost ones working memory. It can also provide smooth tactile input and are visually stimulating. 

We had a lovely afternoon in Granby this week playing a variety of board games!

It encourages socialisation between staff and residents, as well as between residents who may not know each other very well.

We had great fun and have lots more new games to try over the next few weeks! 

This week we finished off our personality tree that is now being displayed in the memory Cafe in Rutland! Residents and staff worked together to create this bright and colourful display! Each leaf represents a different person, and while some don't have writing on, they still show off individual personality and creativity! It looks fantastic and I'm so proud of everyone who took part! 

David, Hospitality Manager, at Ashmead Care Centre, was given a most wonderful surprise by residents and staff alike on his birthday recently. All sang happy birthday whilst the Head Chef and his team presented a spectacular homemade cake to highlight the surprise. David marked the occasion with a short speech carefully prepared on toilet tissue.
