Did you know that this week is

Betty, Frank and Ruth really enjoyed getting out in the fresh air and doing some rock painting that our new Lifestyle Coordinator Becky, brought back from the seaside.

Our staff summer party was a great success and enjoyed by all. As well as bouncy castles, we had lots of delicious food, along with a visit from the ice cream van.

Kathleen, our Home Manager presented the Employee of the Month award to Stephen from our Hospitality team, who has received glowing feedback from everyone living in the home as well as family members and staff.

Last Wednesday the people living with us enjoyed a lovely afternoon outside in the sun.  We had a singer called Alan come and sing live for our residents outside in the car park.   We had some nice cold refreshments at hand and had a lovely afternoon singing and dancing and just enjoying the sunshine.

This week the people living with us enjoyed a parachute game in the lounge. A group of us got together and sat in a circle and enjoyed playing the parachute game, we made the game more fun by putting balls on the parachute. The aim of the game was to try to keep the ball on there as long as we could. It was really fun and with the music playing we all enjoyed a nice singalong while participating in the activity.

The people living with us love being around animals and nature, so we spent an afternoon at Thrift Farm.  Everyone had some quality time walking around the farm and petting all the animals. What a lovely afternoon it was!

In Amber Court we don’t need a gardener. Our Staff and residents take good care of our lovely garden and making sure that it is well groomed. In line with our Gardening Club, we have a weekly activities to plant and maintained our garden as beautiful as much as possible. Look how this garden change from the beginning of spring until today. Our residents are very happy to be involved in taking care of their home.

These lovely ladies really enjoyed their lunch for today. We decided to take residents out from time to time so they don’t miss the normal lives they had before. One of the residents told us that she never expects to visit again this fast-food restaurant where she used to come and dine before with her family. She was very happy telling us stories she remembers while eating and said that the building changed a lot from before. It was lovely to see how happy they are not just because of their lunch but also reminiscing their lives before and memories they shared to us

Last week as part of pride parade our residents created paintings with colours that make them happy.

Having an American as Lifestyle Coordinator creates lots of interest in American holidays and traditions. Our residents celebrated 4th of July just like true blue Americans. We watched fireworks, had sparklers and enjoyed mocktails.
