Music Morning

Earlier in the month, we had a music full of morning. This brought lots of smiles into our home! 

Flower Making

Earlier in the month we were making flowers out of material! A different activity enjoyed by those who took part😀

Supporting Independence at Gateford Hill

Supporting peoples independence is something that we like to achieve at our home and it is different from person to person but no matter what the task, they all come with their own sense of accomplishment. 
We have one person living with us at the moment who wanted to be apart of the team and help us where she can.  We were only too delighted to have her help, and now she even has her own uniform that she loves. 

Trip to Tropical Birdland

We had a the most wonderful day trip to Tropical Birdland in Desford, Leicestershire.  Only a short drive from out home we all thoroughly enjoyed the walk around.  It was such a great experience getting to look at all the different species of birds, feeding them and even holding them for those who wished. To finish off when enjoyed a hot cuppa from the cafe and a delicious picnic our fantastic hospitality team had prepared for us.

Pets at Therapy

Pets really bring joy to the hearts of the people living with us at Water Royd Care home.   Spending time with animals is so beneficial and something that we love happening here.  Everyone enjoyed a nice visit from our little furry friend Luna, and his buddy.  We were playing fetch, feeding them little doggy treats and having lots of cuddles.  

Plant a tree for the Jubilee

We wanted to support The Queen’s Green Canopy (QGC) which is a unique tree planting initiative created to mark Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022 which invites people from across the United Kingdom to “Plant a Tree for the Jubilee”.
The people living with us wanted to be apart of the process so we made that happen for her which was amazing to see.

Its a good day to BBQ

With the weather being so lovely and warm we wanted to get outside for a BBQ with the people living with us.  There was much food, laughter and a very special guest that joined us.

Jubilee Tree Planting

We wanted to support The Queen’s Green Canopy (QGC) which is a unique tree planting initiative created to mark Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022 which invites people from across the United Kingdom to “Plant a Tree for the Jubilee”.
One of the people living with us wanted to lay the first bit of soil on the tree so we made that happen for her which was amazing to see.

Up, Up and away....

Over 75 colourful make a wish balloons filled the sky over the Kents Hill, each with a special wish-tag attached from every Resident. We are thrilled to say that some of our balloons travelled as far as Kent (as notified by the local who found the balloon on their farm) Our Residents absolutely loved this creative activity and let’s just hope all those wishes come true! Thank you to our Lifestyle Team for making this such a memorable experience.
