We have expanded our regular treat trolley to include more exotic fruits. Residents have a variety of options so they are in control of what the choose dependant on how they feel on the day and may be tempted to try something new.

The activities team kick started 2021 with the return of the virtual armchair cruise. An amazing all in one activity. Our most recent travel was to Greece where the activities team went that extra mile and dressed the part to provide the residents with the ultimate experience. The residents absolutely loved the decorations, food, dancing, music and outfits along with ancient Greek crowns they were gifted with.

Valentines Day is almost upon us and our residents have been busy making memories and hearts! 

Inspired by Sir Captain Tom Moore, memory boards have been lovingly made by residents and staff at Wyndham Hall, God Bless and Good Night Captain Tom.

Residents made their own Chinese hats and the Dragon came to call. Followed up with a Chinese banquet of Spring Rolls and Sweet and Sour Chicken. 

This activity is about Valentine’s day, sunshine and being creative. Each resident has been given hearts to decorate in their own way. They created colours and sunshine with these hearts and where so happy when they saw them on the windows and how beautiful they looked when the sun shone through them. They really enjoyed seeing the end result and it was lovely to see their faces when the sunshine came through the window. 

We made hand paper flowers and hearts to decorate our visiting pod, it's bright and cheery and the residents love the finished result. 

We had a visit from a young boy and his mum who are local to Clarendon Court, he asked his mum if he could write to us and send some biscuits for them to give them a big smile on their faces. It is a lovely gesture and certainly brought lots of smiles. 

The residents enjoyed taking part in The Big Garden Birdwatch. We placed feeders on residents windows and we made fat balls to hang on the trees. They enjoyed it so much that we did it again later on in the week. We have definitely attracted more wildlife to the garden already. 

This month we have started a knitting club and it has gone down a treat! Residents at The Belvedere have really enjoyed getting involved, for some its been relighting an old hobby and some are learning from the beginning. It has brought smiles and laughter and encouraged them to get involved...they are also enjoying the coffee that comes with that!
