We were delighted to receive a visit from Banana Moon nursery in September.  One of the staff from the nursery came to Rosedale with some gift and cards whcih  the mini moonies and nursery children had made for us.  They went down a storm when we brought them into the home and shared them around all of the units.  Thank you so much.

Monread Lodge Care Home have been giving out goodie bags to our very hard-working Paramedics.

They were very well received and much appreciated.

Kents Hill Care Home are the proud sponsors of Aspley Guise Under 8's Stags football team.  We have come together to become a donation point for all unwanted but useable sports kit that will be donated to KitAid.  KitAid will send all donations over to developing countries where football is loved but participation is held back by lack of access to kit and equipment.  If you have any old kit or boots lying around please drop into us.  We are having regular contact with KitAid to collect and send. 

On World Gratitude Day we spent the day talking about things that matter the most to the people living with us at The Belvedere and what we are most thankful for. 

It was Macmillan Coffee morning at Croft House today, due to COVID-19 we unfortunately couldn't have families to join us but the staff and residents loved the cakes, buns, cookies and scones we had. They went so quickly!! We also did 2 football bingo cards to raise more money and proudly raised over £100!!

It’s not only TV chefs who can set up their kitchens anytime any place. With our new mobile kitchen equipment people living at Minster Grange can now cook or bake anytime any place too. Standing by is our first chef to test out the new oven with his chocolate chip shortbread cookies.

During these unprecedented times we find ourselves in, we come together on the 10th of September to celebrate International Day.  This Day represents cultural diversity between staff and residents.

We decorated the lounge with flags and balloons to bring the celebration together.  Some talented staff members kept us entertained with traditional dancing.  The Chef and some staff members prepared some traditional foods which was a great highlight to end off the celebration.

A great day was had by all!!

Thanks to the kindness of The York Bird of Prey Centre, our residents were treated to a garden visit by two of their stars. Cobra, a male Harris Hawk, and Angel, a female Barn Owl are two favourites at the centre and often feature in flying demonstrations.  This month, however, they took a day off to bring their handler on a trip to Minster Grange. With his help they settled into our garden for an afternoon and we were delighted in all the attention and admiration we could heap on them.
