Peter from Lace Hill Manor has had a love for gliders since he was 15, so recently we organised to take him out to Bicester Motorglide. 

With the help of Lee from Motorglide, Peter had a lovely afternoon. He could name the gliders and tell us all about them, and he took his photo album and went through it with Lee and Paul, they were happy to listen to Peters story’s about how many flight hours he has done and the height he used to get to.

The Wharf Care Home are donators for this year’s Kemp The Wyre Forest Hospice Butterfly Release! 🦋

Happy International Nurses Day to all of our nurses within Abingdon Court and around the world! 💙

 

We enjoyed celebrating with a party full of singing, dancing and plenty of cake. It's a perfect way to come together!

 

As a small token of appreciation, those that live with us created a touching poem for our nurses.

Take a look for yourselves!

 

ODE TO NURSES

 

Nurses working night and day

Understanding your pain

Respecting your feelings

It’s Dementia Action Week! 💘

 

Alongside our cakes, we have a bunch of information resources available to you - so if you are, or know someone living with dementia, please pop in for a chat with us!

 

Get yourself down to Abingdon Court, chat with our lifestyle team and Dementia Ambassador, and buy one of our fantastic cakes, all in aid of Dementia UK 🧁

The people living with us enjoyed making cards to give to our Nurses on International Nurses Day.

To celebrate the day, we had a lovely party, buffet and refreshments. Everyone had a brilliant time. 

To celebrate The King's Coronation over the weekend, we had a three day event. 

We had a buffet on the Saturday, a big party all day on the Sunday and a Royal party on the Monday. We had live music, a raffle, a BBQ and lots of cake. We also had our own Gold Carriage to take photos in. As well, our Woodland Mascot came to visit and we raised some money for charity.

The King's coronation is a momentous occasion that calls for the utmost attention to detail when it comes to decoration and preparation. This event marks the beginning of a new era in the kingdom, and it is important to create an atmosphere that is both regal and celebratory 🎉👑

Rich shades of gold, burgundy, and royal blue are all popular choices for royal events, and can be used in everything from the drapes and tablecloths to the floral arrangements and centrepieces - we are even creating nail art inspired by the occasion!

The Hawthorns held a brilliant indoor street party for the people living with us.

Everyone enjoyed a traditional English Buffet with a beautiful cake that our chefs made.

With the sun peeking its head round the curtain, we thought it would be appropriate to get some sunflowers on the go! 🌻🌼🌞

We are not short of gardening experts here at Abingdon Court, so together we were able to get 5 variants of sunflower on the go, ready to be re-potted later in the year!

Keep your eyes peeled to see how they get on 👀
