Flower Arranging
Flower arranging is a favourite creative group activity at Cedar Court. Not only do we enjoy the tea and chatter, the results are always beautiful.
Spring Flowers!
Today we decided as spring is nearly here that we would create our very own take on it. We created these stunning rainbow daffodils; everyone chose how to decorate them and create very beautiful flowers. We were all amazed how wonderful they looked and everyone thoroughly enjoyed creating them.
Imagination Art
We decided today we would have a day of imagination art; I gave the residents numerous items to use whilst using their imagination to create their very own artwork. This worked a treat as it gave them the opportunity to be very creative and use their imaginations to create beautiful art for the home and their rooms.
Flowers
One of our residents received a beautiful bouquet of flowers from her husband which she was so thrilled about. It also gave her an opportunity to recall how much she enjoyed being in her garden, she recalls the memory of how beautiful they smelt and looked as she strolled in her garden, this bought back fond memories for her.
Birthday Celebrations
We love celebrating birthdays at Acorn House and it's just as well as we have five to celebrate this month, everyone liked the idea of this one and chocolate muffins are a favourite of Kathleen's whose birthday it is today.
Day to Day Activities At Parkview
Day to day activities at Parkview are varied and down to individual choice, some people enjoy a mind game, quoits or even bubbles which are magical whatever age you are.
Cards of Kindness
It's fantastic the ideas that can spring from the mind of our amazing Activities Coordinator. Katrina found some old cards and they were reworked into beautiful words. The people we care for expressed their thoughts on what made them happy.
February at Bowerfield House
We've had a heart warming month here at Bowerfield House. We held a coffee morning for World Cancer Day, raising money for the Beechwood Cancer Care Centre in Stockport. We enjoyed a fabulous Chinese meal cooked in house by our chef for Chinese New Year. We didn't end up with too many pancakes stuck to the ceiling when we tossed our pancakes on Shrove Tuesday! We followed pancake day by recognising the start of Lent on Ash Wednesday with an online Church service and silent contemplation.
St David's Day
Celebrating St David's Day at Wyndham Hall, daffodils in abundance! All our residents and staff enjoyed celebrating St David's Day as well as making daffodils and displaying them around the home.
Jeans 90th Birthday
We celebrated Jeans 90th birthday on Friday, she had a lovely day being spoilt with lots of gifts and a beautiful cake made by our wonderful chef Michelle.
