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.

We were looking for new ideas for what we can sell out our upcoming spring fayre and we decided that we would try new activity.  We got some scarfs and the people living with using the tie dye process created some beautiful and unique designs.  The final products are so lovely and we cant wait to display and sell them. The activity was a success and everyone cant wait to make some more.

It was national lemonade day this week and we wanted to give the people living with us a chance to try all different types of lemonades.  We wanted to know which were favourite and the kitchen staff and team were happy to be on hand to listen to the feedback.

Over the weekend we held a special event at Kents Hill Care Home and we planted a tree in celebration of the Platinum Jubilee! The Mayor of Milton Keynes, Cllr Mohammed Khan, joined us for the event and personally helped to plant the tree and held conversations with our Residents. It was a beautiful day, enjoyed by all our Residents and the team and we are very grateful to the Mayor for taking his time and joining us all for such special day.

How lovely to be a winner in the MMCG Regional Easter Competition with our fantastic wreath which was lovingly created by our residents. Proudly displayed here by Enid

We were delighted when Deputy Provost Tom Castle came to plant the Queen’s Jubilee tree at Parksprings in the garden.  We had a piper and a buffet afterwards for the residents to enjoy.  We chose a Platinum orange tree for the Queens platinum celebrations as we thought this fit in brilliantly with her Jubilee celebrations.

We had a visit from the Easter bunny in April who came to deliver all of the Easter eggs for the residents at the home.  Our Easter bunny even met some school children and was featured in the local publication “In Your Area”.

A selection of our Easter displays and our two Easter Bonnet winners. Residents have had great fun making bonnets with the help of the staff. Have a lovely Easter weekend everyone.

We had a busy Easter at the home with arts and crafts, baking and a beautiful Easter Sunday buffet.  We also enjoyed some entertainment at the home today to get us into the Easter spirit and had a lovely singalong.

We would like to announce that White Rose Lodge has been officially nominated for a Care Home of the Year in the annual MMCG and Countrywide Care Awards. This, on it's own, is a testimony to every member of staff working currently and, in the past, thank you so much for all your hard work and commitment to our wonderful residents.
