We had an entertainer in to sing for us last week, he sang from the pod and everyone had a wonderful time. We've never had so many dancers on the floor and needless to say, everyone slept well that night, including the staff. 

May is Stroke Awareness Month and everyone at Bowerfield Court is helping to raise both money and awareness. We have made purple ribbons for both residents and staff to wear, along with displaying large ribbons in our lobby and on each floor of our home. Ribbons are available for free for any visitor to our home and are to be found in our lobby along side bags of sweets that are for sale. All money raised will be donated to the Stroke Association at the end of the month. 

This afternoon we had a fruit tasting activity, not all of our residents are able to enjoy solid fruits, however we had a delicious alternative with this mixed fruit syllabub. 

Today we enjoyed happy hour with our friends of the home, with music, wine and some favourite snacks. We had a little dance too, just what we needed for a Friday afternoon. 

Today at Manorhey we enjoyed a performance from one of our favourite entertainers. She had everyone dancing away the whole way through. She definitely brought a smile to our faces. 

Joan, Rosemary and Dorothy, our fab girls Sarah and Gina, the Bluebird entertainment sang for us to celebrate VE Day. The residents really enjoyed singing along with the English favourite songs. 

We had a lovely surprise today at Belmont House, our local charity Resurrected Bites dropped by with some beautiful flowers for our resident - such lovely colours, we will be doing some beautiful arrangements with the help of our residents for their rooms. Thank you so much from residents and staff at Belmont House.

The creativity and artistic talents of the people who live at Cedar Court continues to amaze us all. This person who created this beautiful piece lives with dementia. It's all part of the ongoing work at Cedar Court to support people living with dementia to express themselves through their love of art. 

We spent the morning arranging flowers to put around our home. We chose sunflowers and some lovely purple, pink and white flowers to brighten up our day. A very lovely and relaxing activity to do especially whilst listening to Jazz music. 

We would like to thank one of our nurses Jeff who's dad breeds budges and let us have 2 for our home. Two new welcome additions to our family at Bowerfield House. Introducing The Royals Elizabeth and Phillip, we are all excited about the new arrivals and our residents love watching them. I'm sure they will bring lots of conversation and joy to our home.
