We had some fantastic celebrations over the Halloween weekend.  We started with a Halloween party on Friday and had a lovely time playing pass the parcel, pin the tail on the cat, apple bobbing and then the staff entertained us with Time Warp dance.  We had a good sing and dance and enjoyed some Halloween cakes.

We had lots of Birthdays at Earsdon in October including Millie who is celebrating her 88th birthday with plenty of cake with her friends in the home.

Meet Andrea, one of our fantastic domestic team at Earsdon Grange, who has been busy today getting one of our bedrooms ready for a new resident coming into their new home.

We hope you enjoy many years in your new home.

Meet Joe McKee our new Head Chef at Belmont House. Since gaining his promotion on 12th October he has been keen to create a new menu with input from the residents.

His first tasting menu of black pudding scotch eggs which our residents of Courtyard absolutely loved. They can’t wait for the next taster session.

Well done Joe.

We had a fun time at Belmont House on 25th September for the Macmillan Worlds Biggest Coffee morning and raised £105.50 for Macmillan Cancer Research this year.  We had a chocolate hamper, some raffles and enjoyed cake and tea.

This month the residents of Willow Bank enjoyed making decorations for Halloween. The residents made spiders and bats. We also did pumpkin carving and made milk bottle lanterns by decorating milk bottles and filling them with water and glow sticks. Lots of fun had by all. 

Staff at Croft House Care Home got dressed up for Halloween. The residents loved seeing all the outfits and it filled the home with laughter and good smiles. 

We had a lot of fun at Rose Lodge Care Home in Newton Aycliffe for Halloween with residents and staff getting dressed up, a buffet of fabulous Halloween cakes and our very own version of Time Warp.

We'd love you to see the video of us.  Give our Facebook a visit at RoseLodgeCWCH or copy the link below to view the video and enjoy the fun of Halloween in a care home.

People living at Croft House Care Home have had a busy month making poppy and pumpkin wreaths. They look fantastic and are displayed around the home. 

We started this with some of our residents at Croft House as just a creative session for the family visits to raise a bit of money for the Royal British Legion. It has taken off so well and we are close to raising £70 so far and still got orders coming, we all feel so proud.
