A wish is normally a strong desire or hope for something that probably will not happen but here at Abingdon Court we believe in making wishes come true. 😃

Those that live with us have been thinking long and hard about what they wish they could either do again or do for the first time. I think you would agree there's some wonderfully exciting things and it really gets you thinking of your own hopes and dreams. 🤔

Watch this space as the Fairy Godmother of Abingdon Court gets to work one wish at a time!

Here at Abingdon Court we all love to enjoy the benefits of More... Rhythm! 🎼

We recently enjoyed a concert sung by our talented Lifestyle Assistant Katalin which as you can see was huge hit!  

 

Music evokes memories and emotions. It can take us back down memory lane, like the first time we danced with someone, a child's first steps, a family celebration, or other significant life events.

 

Some of the people living with us at Bowerfield Court had a lovely day out visiting the Canal. They were able to watch the boats and the locals doing some fishing! Then we stopped off at the Red Lion to have a refreshing drink in the sunshine on our way back home.

The Coronation was a very big day for all of us at Ashmead, both staff and residents alike. We wanted to express our excitement and well wishes to King Charles and Queen Camilla so staff and residents got very creative and made a card to send to their majesties. The card was filled with wishes along with a letter from all of us at Ashmead wishing their majesties all the very best. It was a very pleasant surprise for us all when we received a response from their majesties appreciating the card we sent.

It was the return of the Blackpool Illuminations Switch-On, so we took two of the ladies from Amber Court to watch the big switch on. They had so much fun, watching the lively Nickelodeon float parade, an illuminating firework display at the beachfront, and a breath-taking Tower light show. Gladys and Yvonne joined the crowd with cheering and counting down for the big moment.

Kings Court had a fantastic summer BBQ. The garden was buzzing with families, entertainers, food, drinks and laughter! Thank you to all who came and showed their support. The weather was beautiful as well.

The home would like to thank all the local businesses and family members who sponsored the raffle and tombola prizes, for helping to make the BBQ day a huge success. Your support means a lot and we are so thankful for contribution.

Kents Hill care home enjoyed a lovely day out to Sothend on Sea. The weather was perfect for a walk along the promenade and the Beach. We even stopped off and had some lovely Fish and Chips. Everyone enjoyed their day and the fresh sea air.

We celebrated Yorkshire Day at Ashfield Court, it was a great day. Some of the people that live with us even made Yorkshire's white roses out of paper to decorate the home. They turned out brilliant. A fantastic day had by all. 

Just Bowl has newly arrived at Amber Court. The people living with us are definitely loving it, everyone wants to give a go. We will also be planning for our Just Bowl tournament this August.  

Everyone is so excited.

We celebrated World Photography Day at Allingham House by letting our creativity and imagination run free. The people living with us made beautiful and unique photo frames.

It was also the perfect time to reminisce, talk and laugh, enjoying a great time together.
