Gardening day at Clarendon, today we have planted sunflower seeds in pots, we will then plant them in the garden when they have taken. A very productive day. 

Music and games in the garden. It was a beautiful day, the sun shining bright and a very enjoyable game of card bingo! Kate, Terry and Mary laughed the whole afternoon. Harry in the meantime had a little visitor come to see him whilst he was reading his daily newspaper. This made us all smile. How being out in the garden has lifted all our spirits. 

Good hand eye coordination is a skill not everyone is blessed with, but at Parkview there are plenty of people who do. Very impressive ladies. 

Over the last year, our local Morrisons supermarket has been extremely supportive of Parkview House. This was a chance for us to give a little love back in the form of an Easter basket for the staff. Andre Hebron - Morrisons Community Champion received the basket on behalf of his colleagues. Thank you for all your support.  

Easter at Kents Hill Care Home was celebrated by a visit from the Easter Bunny and of course chocolate for all! 

We had a lovely afternoon in Granby this week playing a variety of board games!

It encourages socialisation between staff and residents, as well as between residents who may not know each other very well.

We had great fun and have lots more new games to try over the next few weeks! 

This week we finished off our personality tree that is now being displayed in the memory Cafe in Rutland! Residents and staff worked together to create this bright and colourful display! Each leaf represents a different person, and while some don't have writing on, they still show off individual personality and creativity! It looks fantastic and I'm so proud of everyone who took part! 

Bowerfield House enjoyed a lovely coffee morning supporting Dementia UK time for a Cuppa fundraiser. We enjoyed eating yummy cakes and raised £6.53. A great day supporting something close to our hearts, well done to everyone at Bowerfield House. 

Our residents spent time making their own Easter Bonnets. It was great to see so much creativity and everyone smiling and enjoying themselves. 

We had a great time making vintage cookies and choosing our toppings this morning, here at The Hawthorns. We also had a look at our Mary Berry cookbooks and some of her great creations. This afternoon we ate our cookies with everyone satisfied with their efforts.
