Last week our residents created medals for the Wimbledon Tennis match.

Everyone enjoyed creating their own medal

We had the wonderful Deborah from musical delights visit us last week.

There was a party atmosphere. Lots of dancing, arm waving and clapping along.

We have been using the new bowling equipment the residents love this activity and it gets very competitive.

We’ve had not one but two furry friends visit us this month, as well as Chip who is now a regular visitor we also had Ernie come to visit. Ernie is a guide dog in training and as well as getting to give lots of fusses the residents asked lots of questions about him and his training.

For this week’s men’s club we visited our in home sweet shop, resident’s were delighted by the selection and picked out some of their favourite sweets and chocolate bars, choosing extras to take back and share with friends.

The summer sunshine has brought us all a lot of joy this week. Especially on Friday when we spent the morning and afternoon soaking up the rays. It was nice to have families join us for a nice chat with their loved ones whilst drinking a cup of tea.

As part of this week activities our lovely ladies created artificial centrepieces.

They had a good time showing their creativity skills.

The people living with us enjoyed strolling about in the grounds of Gateford Hill Care home. They loved the peaceful surroundings. Afterwards they sat and enjoyed refreshments and snacks. There were lots of conversations, smiles and laughter. They really enjoyed their time outside with music playing in the background and it is so lovely to see friendships starting to form.
 

We are taking a full advantage of the lovely weather we have here! 
We have visited Willen Lake this morning and thoroughly enjoyed some beautiful views of our lake from the nearby café.
It’s outings like this that make us so happy and privileged to be able to share these lovely moments with our dear Residents.
 

We had an 80th Birthday to celebrate today at Buckingham House.  It was important to the person living us that they got to spend time and celebrate the day with their loved ones.  We provided a private space in our garden for her to host her party with a lovely afternoon tea menu and of course cake.
