Some of our residents at Manor Park Care Home enjoyed making pom pom garlands in rainbow colours to liven up their rooms, while others opted for something a little more abstract in the form of acrylic paint tipping onto canvases. The results were a surprise every time!

Here at Manor Park we celebrated a resident's 100th Birthday due to lockdown family was unable to visit but we made a special effort to make sure Daisy had a fabulous day. She had a window visit from her daughter who brought her and the staff a wonderful cake and cheesecake from her local farm shop. Daisy received an abundance of cards and is particularly proud of her card from the queen. 

We are continuing with the Yorkshire theme at Howgate House with staff and residents wearing flat caps and moustaches.

We have been overwhelmed by the kindness we have received at Manor Park Care Home from the local community during our time in lockdown we have had an abundance of letters and cards from people giving us praise and saying how proud they are of the hard work we are doing.

We have been busy painting and planting flowers to create social distancing areas for visitors at Skell Lodge Residential Home. We have up cycled all the outdoor furniture to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for every one to enjoy. 

Today we've been painting snail plant pots, with the aim of having a little trail of them in the sensory garden at Belvoir Vale Care Home. 

Knit and natter is one of the favourite activities at The Moors. We make all kinds of creations from pom poms, squares for blankets and baby jumpers for newborns. We have a drink and a treat and a good old chin wag about life. Most just enjoy each other's company and others are in quiet concentration with their work of art. 

Crafts are a big hit at The Moors Care Home from colouring, painting, sticking and lots more. 

It is always a fun afternoon and sessions are all themed for the date and time of the year.

The ice cream van visited The Moors Care Home on a Friday afternoon with a choice of a number of delicious ice creams and cones for all the residents and staff. A wonderful treat for everyone on a hot sunny day.

We were delighted to hear from Nina from Stirrd (a fudge brand) located in Harrogate who wanted to arrange to give the staff and residents of Ashfield a little treat of some beautiful lemon flavoured fudge and salted caramel marshmallows.

They thought it could not only be a lovely treat for the residents but give our staff a lovely sugar rush as a little thank you for all the dedicated work over the last few tricky months.
