Exciting constructions are happening at Parksprings! We have a new log cabin in the grounds 'Rosie's Den'. Your can see it is nearing completion and we are all looking forward to using the cabin, particularly if Government guidelines allow us to use it for visits. 

Here we are getting ready for our Alexandra Court Halloween celebrations. Dorothy made our mummy light up jars, to display round the home. Residents did amazing job carving the pumpkins and Owen really got into his master piece. Everyone really enjoyed the afternoon and here's a picture with our carved pumpkins finished ready for our entertainment when all staff and residents will be dressed up.

We held an afternoon tea at Thorntree Mews, for our residents and had a lovely afternoon going through our letters and cards from "Postcards of Kindness". Since we joined at the beginning of lockdown we have received lots of letters and cards from all over. Today we replied to Eve who wrote to us from France and chatted about Eve renovating an old cottage there and how she is enjoying the slower pace of life. Eve is originally from Cardiff says she will send us some photos of their progress. The ladies really enjoyed today and would like to do it again soon.

Here at Manorhey, we had a Autumnal day. We decorated and dressed the tables in autumn colours and we made our own lamb stew with crusty cobs and cabbage. After lunch we enjoyed spiced pumpkins coffees to warm us all up for the cold outside. 



 

This month at The Moors we have been doing a lot of baking! We have been making apple and berry tarts, birthday buns and even a Christmas cake, just to name a few! The residents have enjoyed weighing and measuring, rolling and cutting but most of all, eating their fabulous creations.

We had an alterative Bonfire Night celebration, here at Minster Grange, with a lovely night-sky themed Son et Lumiere. With swirling blue gas clouds, red and green twinkles and stars moving and changing above a myriad of white flickering tea lights and LED-filled giant glasses, all to the classical sounds of Gustav Holst’s ‘The Planet Suite’. Our residents enjoyed a reflective festive evening. As we reminisced together about past bonfire evenings. Rich hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows completed our sensory experience.

Wednesday nights at Yohden Care Complex is bar night.  We enjoy bar snacks with glasses of shandy and wine aswell as a Karaoke, play your cards right or sometimes we have a game of bingo.  Karaoke is always a big hit.

There was lots of spooky goings on at Yohden Care Complex for Halloween.  We all got dressed up in scary masks or painted our faces and the residents joined in with the staff.  We had a lovely delivery of carved pumpkins and cakes from children of the staff at the home which was lovely and lots of Halloween Fun.

We were delighted to receive a gift hamper from Phil and the Directors at the home in October as a thank you for all of the hard work we do.  The Head Office fairies snuck in and dropped off three of these fabulous hampers with lots of treats for each unit to share over a cuppa with the residents.  There were biscuits, cakes, popcorn, sweets, chocolate, crisps, latte's and cappuccino's aswell as hot chocolate.

Thank you from us all at Yohden Care Complex.
