Christmas at Yohden Care Complex is always a magical time.  We had two Christmas parties at the home.  One in the Lodge and one in the Court so that all residents had a party they enjoyed.  

Here is a picture of our buffet in the Court and the Lodge had a gorgeous Afternoon Tea from a local supplier which was delicious.  To see more of our Christmas antics visit us on Facebook to see when Santa (Jill in activities) visited and our Christmas nurf gun battle.

We had lots of fun for Elf Day here at Water Royd and had a lot of fun dressing up for the residents.  There was many activities we had on over the Christmas period at the home and have put up lots of pictures on our Facebook page.

We were delighted to launch our visitors booth in December.  It was wonderful to see the families starting to arrive and using the booth to visit loved ones in the warmth.  We hope you enjoyed your visits as much as we loved seeing you all.

We had a lovely surprise visit from Santa this afternoon, it put a big smile on our residents faces. We want to say a huge thank you to Cath and her brother for giving up their time to come and visit us and also to our local Sainsbury’s for their very kind donations of chocolates and mince pies for all our residents and staff.

A big thank you to the children of Vane Road school who have made our residents these lovely Christmas cards.

Huge thank you to Anne for responding to Pam Lovelass article in the Newton News regarding writing to our residents. So much time and effort must of gone into making these stunning hand made cards and each filled with a beautiful message.

Thank you so much Anne and Pam for writing the article.

Here at Heeley Bank we believe that if we can't take our residents to the Christmas pantomime, we will bring the pantomime to them. Performed and written by our wonderful staff. We brought to life the story of Cinderella. We would love to say a massive thank you to Woodseats Amdram for donating such wonderful costumes.

The residents had as much fun as the staff pretending to try on the slipper Cinders lost running away from the ball.

We know there is nothing more important than family, and in these strange times we want to do what ever we can to bring families together. Which is why we have built our family pod room, keeping families and residents safe, while also bringing everyone together.

The residents at White Rose Lodge decided to send families a homemade calendar for 2021. The residents worked hard throughout November and December decorating monthly pages and putting them together with a Christmas card to wish family and friends a Merry Christmas. 

We are a firm believer that charity begins at home and here at Field View this year we have been collecting for the Salvation Army Christmas appeal.  We were delighted that so many of the staff were able to donate and that we could support such a good cause.
