Having an active lifestyle with physical activity and a creative outlet to keep the mind sharp is important as we grow older. Pebble art/painting rocks is an exciting, new activity that sharpens and broadens one’s mind and most importantly delivers numerous health benefits. 

All the Highfield family sent our warmest wishes to Queen Elizabeth II for her 95th birthday! We all enjoyed the afternoon reminiscing about Queen's life history with celebratory national tea day at the same time and thanks to our amazing chef for making quite possibly the nicest homemade Victoria sponge, scones with fresh strawberry and not forgetting the clotted cream!!  

Our resident enjoyed a sunny afternoon creating their very own personalised flower displays in the main lounge, using a variety of beautiful flowers. Flower arranging activities are very popular amongst the residents here. We enjoy it with soft background music which is a great stress reliever promoting a calm and relaxing atmosphere.

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