We had a visit from Michaela from Musical Memories, dressed in her flares and jazzy top  in August who entertained us from outside the home.  We all sat next to windows around the home and outside patio's enjoying the songs of Abba which Michaela had prepared for this week for us.  We had a great time singing and clapping along to the music and enjoying some of our favourite songs. 

All day you could hear us humming along to Dancing Queen 

Here at Barnes Court one of our favourite activities is home baking.  So far in August we have made sweet and savoury dishes but our favourite so far has been our cheese pasties.  There was not a single pasty left uneaten.

Our other favourite baking is coconut haystacks they go down a treat in the home.

We had a presentation at Howgate House on Wednesday 5th August. Eve, who is one of our oldest ladies gave out the Oscars to all the joiners and maintenance men for keeping us all safe during lockdown.

Howgate House is supporting the local primary school breakfast club by collecting food and drinks for the children. They have supported the home through the last few difficult months by sending pen pal letters and drawing pictures of rainbows and sunshine for every residents' room.

As part of our Yorkshire day celebrations our residents at Howgate House enjoyed choosing their favourite Yorkshire sweets from the trolley.

We have received lots of lovely gifts from family and friends of the home in July which included a lovely framed Care Giver verse and a rainbow picture with the verse 'when the world stayed apart we stayed together'.

Thank you, we appreciate all of your love and support at Rose Lodge.

We had some fun in the activities lounge with the parachute. There was lots of laughing coming from the room.  Everyone held a colour in a circle and then we popped a ball in the middle and flicked up the parachute to see which colour the ball landed on when the parachute came back down to eye level. There was much debate whether it was one colour or another.  We got quite competitive.

Meet Maya our Chef at Rosedale Nursing and Care Home. She loves baking cakes for our residents and seeing the delight on their faces when she presents the afternoon snacks.

Maya and her team were delighted to be awarded the 5 Star Food Hygiene Award again this year when they were inspected in January. Well done team Rosedale.

Happy 59th Wedding Anniversary to Jean and Eddie. Jean was delighted to see Eddie when he came into the home to celebrate their anniversary in July.  They had a lovely time together and some tea and cakes to celebrate.

We hope you had a fabulous day and congratulations on 59 years together.

Friday is always Fish Friday at Field View and we look forward to our delicious lunch of fish and chips with mushy peas.

The food looks absolutely delicious all made at the home but looks like a treat from the fish shop.
