We had a lovely surprise today at Belmont House, our local charity Resurrected Bites dropped by with some beautiful flowers for our resident - such lovely colours, we will be doing some beautiful arrangements with the help of our residents for their rooms. Thank you so much from residents and staff at Belmont House.

We spent the morning arranging flowers to put around our home. We chose sunflowers and some lovely purple, pink and white flowers to brighten up our day. A very lovely and relaxing activity to do especially whilst listening to Jazz music. 

What a lovely surprise to walk into work and be greeted with such a warm welcome. Megan and the girls had decorated the lounge for my 50th and I got lots of cards, gifts, flowers and £50. Thank you so very much to everyone at Bowerfield House for such a lovely morning. 

Erika has recently qualified as a Care Practitioner, to celebrate we bought her a card and a present and presented it to her today. Erika is looking forward to continuing her career with Maria Mallaband and we are delighted she has achieved her goal. 

We would like to thank one of our nurses Jeff who's dad breeds budges and let us have 2 for our home. Two new welcome additions to our family at Bowerfield House. Introducing The Royals Elizabeth and Phillip, we are all excited about the new arrivals and our residents love watching them. I'm sure they will bring lots of conversation and joy to our home. 

Today we celebrated National Nurses Day with a range of activities. It was lovely to see the joy on the residents' faces after our poetry reading and pride in their own handiwork, whether that was colouring in, puzzle solving or writing and thanking a nurse they know. 

We celebrated our employee of the month at Bowerfield Court today. Emma a care assistant and Fran, congratulations to the both of them. 

We are over the moon about our Easter competition win! Hope Green residents and staff not only had a great time over the Easter weekend celebrations but now also get the chance to celebrate again with a lovely prize of a Sharing Hamper and a certificate. We'll now be on the search for a frame for our certificate and choosing a special place to display it for everyone to see. Well done Hope Green. 

Bank holiday Monday was our May Day Fair, lots of standard fairground games like Roll-a-coin, spin the wheel, disc drop, play your cards right and darts. Lots of prizes, lots of fun and most of all laughter and smiling faces. A good turnout supported by residents and staff alike. 

Bowerfield House has enjoyed a little artwork today. Our Willy Wonka tree is very special and unique, our buttons are made from sugar paste and stuck on with icing. This is so very safe if eaten and if you have a sweet tooth you can have a little nibble too. Staff and residents have commented on the art work and it has brought lots of fantastic feedback. We have also done 100 buttons for Sir Tom.
