Our residents spent the afternoon making Christmas cards for their loved ones which will make lovely keepsakes. We then had a Christmassy film and a quiz and everyone enjoyed refreshments.

Our residents had a lovely morning baking coconut tarts. It triggered lots of lovely memories when they lived at home and baked for their own families.

This morning our lovely residents made and decorated gingerbread houses, they all loved talking of Christmas time, the smells and of course the delicious food.

Christmas has arrived at The Wharf and we are looking forward to welcoming our residents friends & families over the festive season.

Christmas preparations were in full swing at Furze Hill Lodge in November and the residents enjoyed wrapping presents and preparing the decorations for our tree. Lloyd our lifestyle manager had Xmas music playing in the background to get everyone in the Christmas spirit, warm mince pies were on offer as a treat for all their hard work!

Our residents have had a lovely afternoon decorating the Christmas tree in another of our lounges today. It triggered lots of lovely memories for them from when they used to decorate their own homes at Christmas time over the years. Conversation flowed and everyone enjoyed refreshments.  We played Christmas music, and everyone enjoyed the festive atmosphere.  

We had a lovely day on Friday celebrating Elf day with a family and friends, playing games and quizzes.

Anyone for cocktails?? Last night we held a Cocktail Tasting Event at Chartwell Manor. Our guests were treated to tasters of Franky's signature cocktails and were given a score card to rate each one...trouble was they were all so good...we couldn't decide!
