Residents enjoyed the Entertainment this afternoon with Roger who also works at Thornton Theatre where we have seen him perform many time, fab entertainer, enjoyed by all.

It was an uplifting atmosphere at Hope Green Care Awards Party as we danced to 'Reach For The Stars' music and gathered together to watch the National Awards Ceremony live streamed. Staff were awarded certificates and Oscars for their individual contributions too which was a real celebration of our unique team and their amazing work. Residents had visits to the salon for a hairdressing treat and appreciated the beautifully decorated lounge filled with balloon arches and stars and of course the popcorn! Well done Hope Green!

We know how important is recycling to conserve our natural resources, and for that reason the residents joined to the National Recycle Week. The residents let their imagination run free, creating beautiful flower vases from used glass bottles.

Ashfield Court really enjoyed a game of scrabble before lunch last week.

We celebrated Marie's 90th birthday here at Cavendish Court, she really enjoyed her homemade cake.

What a wonderful morning at Hope Green as we sorted through items from the laundry together. We reminisced about endless hours of housework, and laughed about how many pairs of socks one of the men owned.

Meet Salem, Archie, Charlie, Bernard, Pedro, Jodie and Casper. We joined our lovely residents in some pumpkin carving activities last week and what a lot of fun we had. Annette gave them all names and helped create our pumpkin display for the lounge. We look forward to creating some more spooky creations this week.

Bowerfield House are starting Halloween month with decorating some yummy spider cupcakes, the residents enjoyed decorating them and some residents liked watching them being made. Everyone enjoyed eating them with a cup of tea later in the day. We are all excited to get our family home decorated for Halloween this year.

Wyndham Hall were very generously gifted £2,500 for some art work within the home and after much deliberation we opted for Charlotte Designs and artist  Sarah Hodgkins produced this beautiful mural in an open area on our specialist dementia wing.

As you can see the area is put to good use and we all really enjoy the beautiful artwork, especially the seagull with a chip in its beak.

A huge thank you to Cherwell Valley District Council and Sarah Hodgkins for this beautiful gift.

September 24th the sun was shining as it was Macmillan Cancer Support Fundraiser Coffee Afternoon.

Entertainer Brian was invited to join us with his guitar playing songs we could all sing along to. Many residents also joined in with some dancing.
