In celebration of Easter, we in Amber Court planned for a fun filled days for residents, staff and relatives. We had a lot of Easter artworks prepared for our residents to show their creativity. We made Easter egg mosaic using coloured papers, bunny head dress, Easter bunnies using plastic cups and paper plates, and a lot of colouring for everyone. Our residents had fun in every artwork they have done.

We decided to create an Easter wreath in our reception to welcome everyone visiting the home. Everyone is so amazed to see how creative and lovely the wreath is, especially the resident’s relatives.

Our little bunny saying, “Happy Easter Everyone!”.

What a wonderful Easter Season the residents have enjoyed at Allingham House, with so many different activities for everyone to enjoy. One of our mottos is Team Work makes the dream work and once again we put it into practice. I would like to give a big thank you to all the staff, families and members of the community that once again have joined the residents to make this season of the year even more special.

Well done Team Troutbeck!!

The entry that Julie sent in was absolutely fantastic, and the judges were very impressed with the design of the cake and the overall look. The detail on the Easter bunny was fabulous, and the way the soil and grass complimented the bunny was brilliant to see. It certainly made the judges smile!

A winning hamper is winging its way to you now.....

The people living at Buckingham House really wanted to celebrate the Queens 96th Birthday with some cheese and crackers and of course cake.  The team decorated the outside space and people came out to enjoy some glorious weather and nibbles whilst raising a toast.  

Our Easter activity proved to be a huge success, and our Residents really enjoyed this experience. It was a highly awaited Easter project here at Kents Hill and we were all very excited when the eggs finally arrived! They all started to hatch just after two days, and we now have 9 beautiful little chicks which bring our Residents a lot of joy!

To end a month of Easter craft and related activities all communal dining areas were decorated for the Easter Sunday lunch, and as an egg-citing end to Easter the residents were visited by the Cedar Court bunnies offering chocolate eggs or soft desserts to all residents.  This was followed by an Easter themed hymn concert.  The residents were thrilled to see the arrival of the bunnies and enjoyed their Easter treats.  Also, during the morning the winners of the Easter Bonnet competition, which was judged by the Mayor, were awarded their prizes.

Pop Up Ice Cream Parlour is great success!

Whether it was the sun shining and temperature rising or just intrigue as to what the lovely decor was all about we're not entirely sure but what a success this was! Hope Green launched it's very own 'pop up' Ice Cream Parlour on Easter Monday and there were plenty of requests for it to return soon. There was much discussion about favourite flavours and toppings and lots of comments from residents about feeling 'very treated' 'extra special' and 'full to the brim'.

Hope Green Residents maintain links with local community groups, the taxi was booked and residents were ready to visit a local community group for lunch, music, and games. There was a special request too that everyone brought an Easter Bonnet for a parade together so of course we made sure our residents were fully prepared and equipped for the event. Visiting this vibrant group offers residents the opportunity to stay connected with the local community and all the positivity that goes along with it.

Here at Alexandra Court we had fun holding an Easter Bonnet competition and finished off our celebrations with a huge raffle!
