FABULOUS attire for today at Manorhey, wouldn't you agree? We love to add a bit of colour, sparkle and being creative whilst enjoying the music and songs along the way.

Team Wharf have joined Age UK Bromsgrove, Redditch & Wyre Forest community campaign to get everyone moving more.  Our residents are supporting our local district, Wyre Forest, in recording all the minutes that they spend moving when doing activities. It is proving to be a real success and a brilliant motivation tool to get moving with a real sense of team and community spirit.

Being part of the wider community means being outward-looking, building connections and relationships, and offering support and help where it’s needed – and each and every one of our care homes strives to further its community links. We love to celebrate this spirit, so we thought we’d share with you a couple of ways we’ve recently been keeping connected to the community.

Bowerfield Court and Bowerfield House staff and residents are celebrating LGBT February awareness month.

This year's national awareness month is looking at LGBT history and the history of the gay rights and related civil rights movement. Some of the history included covers role models, community building and represents major contributions of the LGBT community. Very topical and interesting. 

Please see the newsletter for The Belvedere.

We know how important it is to keep in touch in these challenging times and thanks to the technology this is possible. The residents have enjoyed a video call with the children from the nursery next door and from the IBS. The children and the residents really enjoyed singing their favourite songs like Incy Wincy Spider, I'm A Little Teapot, The Grand Old Duke Of York and Jack and Jill.

We have been discussing the history of Chocolate and our own local brands. Lots of lovely Bournville chocolate was available which was Lillian's favourite. 

Burns Night was celebrated at Cavendish Court with poetry, whisky and clootie pudding. A wonderful afternoon enjoyed by all. 

We had a lovely afternoon at Cavendish Court recreating The Price is Right. Residents were invited to come on down and guess the price. The residents had a great discussion around the rise in prices and the cost of living nowadays. Good fun had by all and our amazing assistant Jordan was a great hit. 

Chocolate celebration, lots of conversation which is the nicest and our favourite brands.
