World Book Day was celebrated in style at Brunel House with a Mad Hatters tea party. The staff team as usual were amazing dressing up as their favourite characters from books whilst the residents enjoyed reminiscing about their favourite childhood books. The day came to an end with a spectacular Mad Hatters Tea party in the cafe. We cannot wait to go bigger and better next year and do it all over again. 

The chicks are now six days old and growing fast! The residents are thoroughly enjoying their time with them and for some this is the first time that they have actually felt or held a chick. We are so pleased that we have been able to offer this unique experience. 

Allingham House celebrated Red Nose Day with a Fundraising Coffee Morning. Staff from different departments collaborated baking delicious cupcakes, biscuits and chocolate brownies. Later on, Activities Staff sold them to raise money for Comic Relief. I would like to give a big thank you to all Allingham House's staff for their collaboration. 

Our sensory room here at Bowerfield Court offers a wide variety of sensory stimulation for our residents. The multi coloured lights are visually appealing and, coupled with the aroma of essential oils and music, help to create a relaxed and calm environment. Pamper sessions are also available. These include hand and arm massages, foot spas and manicures. The residents favourite refreshments are on hand too to help achieve an all round sensory and meaningful experience.   

This week at Highfield we decided to mix our celebration for Red Nose Day with baking! Most of our residents got involved and loved baking in preparation for Red Nose Day. We made a beautiful sponge cake which was delicious! Everyone had a lot of fun either baking or just enjoying the celebrations.

To prepare for St Patrick's day, we coloured in some themed pictures to make into bunting to decorate the home! It was great fun and showed off everyone's different tastes, and they looked fantastic when they were up! 

Several members of staff at Ashmead Care Centre took time from their busy schedule to remember those lost during recent times to the Covid 19 virus. Friends and families were thought of, including those left without their loved ones whilst Reflection Day gave everybody the opportunity to have a two-minute silence of thought.

We celebrated Mothers Day with lots of flowers, chocolates and afternoon tea here at Troutbeck.  

We celebrated St Patrick's Day with Irish Cream Liquor, Guinness and lots of Irish music. 

Mary celebrated her 100th birthday, she had a lovely day with a long awaited visit from her sister.
