We decorated our reception area with a lot of buntings. Also, we made a memory tree for the queen which consists of photos of the queen throughout Her reign. This tree was built with the help of our residents and staff. Everyone passing in our reception is taking time to look on to this and showed how happy they are.

Amber Court is honoured to be part of this spectacular celebration for the Queen. As part of the celebration, we planted a tree to commemorate our Queen’s 70 years in the throne. This was participated by residents, relatives and staff of Amber Court, Delma Dela Cruz our Home Manager, also we had Our Community Nurse and Community Matron in our area, Sarah Pennington and Briony Hart. Everyone is very happy.

Our residents played a few matches of dominoes against each other, it was a very competitive game for our residents.

On the 1st of June as part of International Milk Day, our residents tasted different flavours and types of milk.

We also played a game, to try to guess the flavour of the milk .

This week we were delighted to receive a visit from Natalya, who is a local Body Shop Consultant trained to provide hand/arm massages. It was wonderful to see residents being pampered with sensory sessions - a real delight to the senses! Fresh lavender to smell, beautiful products to enjoy, soothing music, and gentle but stimulating massages. Linking with our community is really important to us, so we're delighted to welcome Natalya to our home.

The people living with us really enjoy the ‘Sing & Smile’ event we hosted this afternoon.  We do this every week and we even have relatives who come in each week to join in the fun! I just love to see the happy, smiling faces.  

The people living with us at Gateford Hill Care Home had a fantastic time celebrating the Queens Jubilee with a street party.  There were plenty of fun and smiles and the Queen was there in attendance.

What a spectacular day we had Friday 3rd June for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. The rain held off, the sun was shining and the people living with us had an opportunity to celebrate with their loved ones.
The BBQ was just fantastic and went down a treat, it was finished off with some wonderful cake. 
We all enjoyed the day playing games, listening to live music, and there was a tombola, raffle and a wheelbarrow full of alcohol.
