Water Royd wave their Pom Pom's

We have lots of fun in the home at Water Royd and one of our favourite activities is exercise to music.  To make it a little more fun we each have our own Pom Pom's to wave about during our favourite songs.  There is always lots of giggles during the activity and we each have our favourite colours we like to use.

Merry Christmas from Water Royd

A hug from Water Royd

Christmas is a special time for everyone and this year will be very different for so many families.  We wanted to send the Relatives of Water Royd a Christmas hug and had these designed by a local firm.

They have now been sent out from the residents to their families and we have had so many wonderful comments come back.

We are delighted with our new visitor booth at Ashfield Court.  Relatives can now visit the home and stay warm in the winter months with our indoor visiting booth which has a private entrance.  We can’t wait to welcome you to the home.

Bonfire Night at Ashfield Court

We had a lovely night celebrating Bonfire Night at Ashfield Court last week enjoying a little tipple with our own Guy Fawkes effigy. We had a lovely time reminiscing about Fireworks nights gone by and the fun we had as kids and also taking our families to the local Bonfire night displays

Remembrance Sunday at Willow Bank

The people living at Willow Bank made banners and poppies to decorate the home for Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day. Everyone were very moved when watching the remembrance service and those that could stood for the two minute silence. There were tears in the eyes of residents and staff as they remembered those who gave their lives.

With Christmas time fast approaching, residents and staff a like can't wait for some jolly time.

White Rose Lodge like many other homes have put up the decorations early, following the government guidelines. This year has been hard for us all, staff, residents, and families,

Residents have been very strong and acknowledged this hard time and made all the effort to be creative, active, and positive. Supporting one another by spending time together and continuing to smile.
