Riverview celebrated St Andrews Day with Afternoon high tea and Scottish treats.

Residents enjoyed Scotland traditional Music and Bagpipes playing in the lounge.

The creative activities team at River View made the resident's day beautiful and happy.

With Christmas just around the corner Santa's Workshop started it's work.

Residents enjoyed a gift wrapping session complete with mince pies,  mulled wine and listening to  classic Christmas songs. Lovely stories were told of how they spent their time wrapping presents when their children were younger and the feeling of the magic they felt watching them being opened. 

There was plenty of baking as well to get a head start on Christmas Treats

Each year it has been left for activities to decorate the home, this year we wanted to shake it up a little.

All staff from all departments were asked to work as a team, come up with lots of ideas and decorate their chosen floor. 

We are still getting out and about in the mini bus as much as possible to take advantage of the crisp winter days.  Our recent visit to Nunney Castle and Farleigh Hungerford Castle was a beautiful day.

Farleigh Castle is a medieval castle built in two phases, the inner court was constructed between 1377 and 1383 by Sir Thomas Hungerford, who made his fortune as steward to John of Gaunt.

Croft House celebrated Elf Day on Friday 4th December, raising money for Alzheimer’s Society. Everyone had such a good day enjoying lots treats, guess the elf and advent games.

Residents and staff filled the home with laughter all day.

Chestnut Court were celebrating after reaching the finals of the national Care Home Heroes Team Award.  The award run by the respected industry publication, Care Home Professional, recognised, "...the care professionals who pulled together as a team to not only ensure the safety of their clients, but also to support each other’s wellbeing during a time of crisis.

We began a sporting championship this month, starting with darts. This enabled residents to become competitive in their gaming which many appeared to thoroughly enjoy. There is a respectful quietness when each player is throwing their darts and the room participates in adding up the score of the darts thrown. There were five rounds of three darts for each person and at the end of every session the scores were taken in and the winner of the days championship was announced winning themselves a winners certificate.

Residents enjoyed looking through old pictures of the local areas, old soaps and spinning tops. A lovely afternoon reminiscing.  

Croft House are looking forward to Christmas and lots of activities in the run up to Christmas day with many arts and crafts sessions to look forward to. Please click on the below newsletter for further details including information on our raffle.
