The Price Is Right

We had a lovely afternoon at Cavendish Court recreating The Price is Right. Residents were invited to come on down and guess the price. The residents had a great discussion around the rise in prices and the cost of living nowadays. Good fun had by all and our amazing assistant Jordan was a great hit. 

Chocolate Celebration

Chocolate celebration, lots of conversation which is the nicest and our favourite brands.

Burns Celebrations at The Moors

With a fair few of our residents hailing from Scotland, Burns Night was a big deal here at The Moors! We did a Scottish themed quiz, listened to some highland music and had a lovely traditional meal, black pudding all around!

Clay status at The Moors

We love getting creative here at The Moors and have some brilliant artists! This week we’ve been playing with clay and making some very funny statues, some to keep and some to enjoy smashing back down for next time.

Bird Watching at The Moors

With Christmas behind us we’ve been preparing for spring as best we can despite the snowy days. The residents have loved making their own bird feeders to go outside their windows so we can get bird watching!

The Dignity Daisy

It is world dignity day on February 1st. Our residents at Cavendish Court enjoyed spending time discussing what dignity meant to them. We then displayed these so all staff can be reminded of what is important to each resident. The little things matter! 

A New Year At Bowerfield House

Its been a busy new year at Bowerfield House. We planted our bulbs ready to enjoy the blooming flowers later on in the year. We enjoyed Burns Night and the most amazing Scottish meals - haggis, neeps and tatties - cooked by our chef Matt. The Big Garden Birdwatch with the RSBP showed us just how many beautiful birds visit our garden - sparrows, black birds and blue tits. We loved watching them feed from our newly built and painted bird table. We celebrated two January birthdays - Happy Birthday to both Lorna and John!

Thank You!

The management and staff at Knights Court Nursing home were truly humbled and touched by the kind gesture of a former relative of residents that had used our services several years ago. We were truly honoured to have created a strong everlasting impact on someone and touched deeply when a former relative popped into our care home to say thanks by gifting us this Masterpiece ‘Winter Village’ cake for the staff and residents at Knights Court Nursing home who performed such a great job of looking after her late Mum and Dad.

The January Challenge

Residents at Thorntree Mews taking part in The January Challenge, 15-20 minutes everyday through January. Residents feeling great and enjoying the morning routine. Certificates for all who complete. 

Flowers

One of our residents was sent some beautiful daffodils as a gift. She was thrilled when she opened the box, the beautiful scent of the daffodils and the vibrant colours. We sat together and arranged them in the vases. She was so pleased to have been sent such a beautiful gift.
