Blenheim Care Centre has a new resident, welcome to Doogle. 

Doogle is being fostered by Eva our manager and is now part of the furniture. Our residents love him and he loves being part of Blenheim. 

Our first attempt at planting strawberry seeds using the knowledge of one of our residents who has grown lots of fruit and vegetables.  We googled how to grow strawberries form slicing the seeds from a ripe strawberry and laying in compost.  This is the first time she has grown strawberries this way.

An afternoon of arts and crafts for residents at Croft House Care Home. Residents got together to make crafts in preparation for Easter.

They enjoyed making Easter bonnets, Easter canvas, plus another couple of decorations to hang on the wall so everyone could see their hard work. The residents enjoyed designing their bonnets and making good use of all the decorations. We have entered them into the Easter Bonnet competition.

We finished off the activity with cups of tea and biscuits.

The residents at Willow Bank Nursing Home enjoyed making their own pizzas with a variety of toppings. They chose their own toppings and later ate them for dinner.

Some of the residents had not tried olives before and we agreed that they are like marmite, love them or hate them!

Residents of Ashfield Court Care Home had a great afternoon flipping pancakes on Shrove Tuesday. We asked our residents how they’d like their pancakes and a few said they’d like to have a try at making their own. 

WOW! March is here, another month of experiences designed to be interesting and stimulating and above all fun.

Highlighted activities for March at Clarendon Court are;

Bond entertainment presents ‘song’s from the musicals, a great afternoon of entertainment on Thursday 5th at 2pm in the Stapeley suite.

Jed who is extremely excited to dress up as the March Hare for our Mad Hatter Tea Party. Our residents have been working very hard on their costumes and the decorations. We cannot wait until the big day! There will be face painting, dressing up and theme appropriate games like pin the grin on the Cheshire Cat in the morning. Our tea party will be at dinner time. In the afternoon we will be watching the Alice in Wonderland film.

It was a special outing for one of our resident's Audrey as it was the first time she was feeling up to going on one of our Wednesday outings. She used to go to Disley Community Centre every week for cuppa and chat and would bake cakes for everyone and help out in the kitchen. Since living in Bowerfield Court she has not been feeling well enough to make it back. We planned to have this outing for months, but last Wednesday was finally the perfect day despite the snow. She was excited to see many friends she has not seen in months. 

We had a great Valentines Day at Bowerfield Court with a buffet party, cake decorating, bucks fizz and romantic films in the afternoon. Prior to the big day we had made decorations, Valentines and had special Valentines Day entertainment.

On the 21st February, Hope Green held their Memory Café with lots of guests including the Mayor of Macclesfield. We had an acoustic band with lots of singing and dancing, homemade cakes and games to play.

Our residents and visitors thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
