Windsor Court Care Home launched their first Intergenerational Play Group this week, Generations With Imaginations, with Kirsten from Debutots Worcestershire.

It was so wonderful to see the children and residents interact, play and learn together, just look at the glow on the faces of everyone.

Children’s play changes when it is intergenerational and research shows that children display higher levels of language and problem solving skills when they have lots of contact with adults.

Appletree Court Care Home had a their very own culture day...

Everyone living and working at Appletree Court enjoyed a variety of dishes and snacks from different cultures within their community to taste and enjoy.

The day was filled with scrumptious food and fun exploring and celebrating other cultures, it was a fantastic time for everyone who got involved!

Being based in the The Strand Community Centre, we see the amazing work that the local food bank does for the community and we as an organisation wanted to support them with a much-needed donation. We also wanted to say a specific thank you to Marie, not only for all her hard work but for her friendship to us since starting at the Strand.

In response to our residents wishes, our care home embarked on a remarkable journey to the seaside. With the full support of our dedicated team, we made it happen! 🌟

Despite the travel time of over an hour, the joy and happiness on our residents' faces made every minute worth it. This seaside adventure not only brought smiles but also had a significant impact on their overall wellbeing. 🏖️❤️

Peter from Lace Hill Manor has had a love for gliders since he was 15, so recently we organised to take him out to Bicester Motorglide. 

With the help of Lee from Motorglide, Peter had a lovely afternoon. He could name the gliders and tell us all about them, and he took his photo album and went through it with Lee and Paul, they were happy to listen to Peters story’s about how many flight hours he has done and the height he used to get to.
