What a fantastic time we have had with the residents and staff preparing for The Famous Jersey Battle of Flowers .

Lots of hard work but what incredible results.

Well done to everyone involved and especially our Lifestyle Co-ordinator, Ioana for her brilliant creativity

It was smiles all round in the summer sunshine as we gathered in the garden to show our own creative flair. Our competition was a great way to bring residents together and celebrate our own uniqueness whilst enjoying the friendship too. Prizes included beautiful body lotions which smelt amazing!

Last week we enjoyed a performance from one of our regular Entertainers, Musical Delights with Deborah. The show was based on the 40s and 50s, we clapped and danced whilst some of us even sang a song or two.

As part of this week activity, we prepared some desserts for the Carte D'or competition, we were very proud of the end result.

We were so pleased to have been visited by a local harpist to play for the people at the home.  Everyone really enjoyed listening to the beautiful tones and familiar songs.

Its not everyday that you get to celebrate a Platinum wedding anniversary, 70 years being married is such an achievement.  Living at the home, the couple wanted to celebrate the day with their friends and family so we created a space for them to enjoy the special day together.  There was food, refreshments and of course a cake for them to cut together.  It was a fantastic day that was enjoyed by all who attended.  Many congratulations to them both.

We were so pleased to be able to be back to the Gerrard's cross car show that was on today.  It is so important to us that we are a part of our community and this was a lovely opportunity for the team to meet some new people and they had a fantastic time at the event.  Does the stand look so lovely?

The people living with us love to bake so today we were making lemon tarts which were then enjoyed by the whole home this afternoon with afternoon tea.  

We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who came out and supported our Summer Fete. The event was so much fun for everyone and we had such an amazing time with everyone and we hope that you guys did too. 

Having our own cafe at Water Royd allows us to create a different social space for the people living with us.  It was so enjoyable to host a coffee morning which was enjoyed by all.  The cakes were also a big hit with everyone.
