We had a lot of fun at Rose Lodge Care Home in Newton Aycliffe for Halloween with residents and staff getting dressed up, a buffet of fabulous Halloween cakes and our very own version of Time Warp.

We'd love you to see the video of us.  Give our Facebook a visit at RoseLodgeCWCH or copy the link below to view the video and enjoy the fun of Halloween in a care home.

Cavendish Court are proud to announce the implementation of our new concept "The Window of opportunity". Due to the ongoing COVID 19 restrictions in relation to visitors across the care home environment, we have created the option for multiple family members and friends to visit your loved ones at the same time. In order to arrange a window of opportunity booking via calling the main line and speaking with our lovely FOH team.  

We held a Wear It Pink day to raise money for breast cancer. All of the residents and staff wore pink clothes and pink ribbons and enjoyed music, cake, sweets, treats and dancing. 

We made Halloween lanterns and the residents loved the noses lighting up!

The residents love our Halloween wall. They enjoy looking at and talking about the Halloween images from around the world.

Many of our residents here at Cavendish Court have missed the little joys in life during the past several months, where even the option to go for a drink at the local pub had become a distant memory. The team at Cavendish therefore decided to bring the pub to them, the residents enjoyed a couple of Shandy's and G&T's whilst socialising with others, playing darts, golf and even re-watching the 1966 World Cup final. 

We have been continuing our Bowerfield Olympics theme and there have been more competitions throughout the week. We had a cake decorating competition, a ball throwing competition, a ring toss competition and much more! Team Red is currently winning against team blue by 1 point. We will see who comes out on top at our party this Friday when we have staff involved in the fun and games as well. 

Our residents had a traditional English tea party with lots of lovely cakes and scones to choose from. We started the afternoon with tea and coffee followed by a glass of fizz with strawberries to celebrate the weekend. A great afternoon enjoyed by all. 

Our residents at Heeley Bank, as always, really enjoyed the flower arranging session. They created beautiful bouquets which we have displayed on the dining room tables. 

At Heeley Bank our residents and staff baked their heart out and had a lovely time at the Macmillan coffee morning. 

At Heeley Bank our residents made their own home made pizzas which everyone really enjoyed.
