Keeping up to date with the latest in the news and current affairs is really important to people living with us.  Everyone was keen to make a guess on who would be our new Prime Minister.  We all got together to watch the announcement.

It was National Hot Dog day on Saturday so our residents very much enjoyed a hot dog supper.  The people living with us got to choose their perfect hot dog topping too, onions, mustard, tomato ketchup or a mixture of all three.
 

Residents have enjoyed making Victorian peg dolls. There wasn't a sound during this activity; they were all totally engaged. They were so pleased with the results and so proud of their dolls.  A lot of the residents remember making peg dolls when they were little with their mums and grandmas. 
 

The feedback from the people living with us and their friends and family members is important, and we wanted to give them opportunity to create their own autumn/winter menu. There was a selection of ideas from our head chef, Daniel to get residents and family members inspired to talk about what they do and don’t like.  He created a mixture of flavours and ideas to share with the group who attended who all really enjoyed the food on offer.

We are thrilled to be able to show the community our recent CQC Good score from our recent inspection on our new banner outside of the home.

Water painting went down a treat this week, everyone gave it a go and was quite taken aback what beautiful pictures were created without having to even use paint. It was such a therapeutic activity that was enjoyed by all.

We are pleased to announce that Minister Tim Edworthy will be holding church services in our home on the 1st Sunday of each month starting in September. He will be joined by friends of the community and provides our residents the opportunity to attend service in their own home, which will hold hymns, prayers and refreshments. Thank you to Tim and his wonderful Team and we look forward to seeing you next weekend

We recently went on a lovely trip to Greendale Farm, looked at all animals, did some shopping in the farm shop and finished off with a well earned cream tea. All had a lovely afternoon.
