In the build up to the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, we have had many discussions around the monarchy and what it means to those that live here. Many expressed that they had never met the Queen, but would have loved to if given the chance, which got us thinking…

On Wednesday 15th June we celebrated Nature Photography Day! We are blessed with a beautiful garden here at Abingdon Court, with encourages a lot of interest and biodiversity - so we took this opportunity to catch some photographs of some of the beautiful scenery. Using these photos as inspiration, we set up our artist table and got painting, conjuring up some incredible artwork!

️On the anniversary of the release of the classic musical GREASE, it felt correct to host our own singalong to the classic tunes - many of those that live here expressed that they are huge fans of the film, so we had great fun performing together and singing our hearts out!

Taking the time to speak to the people who live with us at Belvoir Care Home is really important to us.  We like to discuss the activities that are being provided in the home to ensure that the activities and trips that are enjoyed by all.  We also ask for suggestions on where people would like to go in the future to make sure that we are visiting places of interest.
We discuss the food, the menu and ask for any feedback so that the meals that we are providing are being enjoyed by everyone and they aren't missing a favourite dish.

With Royal Ascot taking place, we brought the racecourse experience to Abingdon Court! Those that live with us had great fun donning their own hats and fascinators to get into the spirit of things. Betting slips were given out and everyone counted their lucky stars in hopes to pick the winning horse...

Our residents enjoyed an afternoon of beer tasting in the sun on national beer day!

This week is picnic week so we opted for a Spanish tapas afternoon in the wonderful sunshine. We listened to Spanish guitar and worked on our tans while we enjoyed some yummy tapas favourites. The chatter flowed as we told stories of sun filled Spanish holidays, it was a lovely afternoon enjoyed by all.

Gentleman's Club turned into a bit of a party this week.

Once the ladies saw the hats come out so did they.

Dominos, Music, Snacks and Cards went down well on activity with a bit of a boogie to end the afternoon. Fun time had by all.

Everyone living at Wyndham Hall joined together to show their appreciation for the amazing work that our carers do on a daily basis, as they celebrated this year’s MMCG Carers Appreciation Day.

With the help of our Lifestyle Team, they had created a wonderful Thank You card that had been signed by every person living in the home, which they presented to our carers who were deeply touched by this lovely gesture.

In this weather who doesnt like to dine outside so we gave the people living with us the option of dining alfresco today.
It was very popular as we served their usual fish and chips outdoors with a few extra salads to choose from.  Pudding was of course ice cream!
