Residents at The Westbourne celebrated their theme for November with A Tour Of Ireland which included watching riverdance performers, singing and even some dancing by the staff. It was great to see some of the men joining in with the celebrations, chatting together and tapping their feet to the music. 

Our wonderful Donna McDermot, CP at Bowerfield Court, is cutting her hair to raise money for The Christie and residents at both Bowerfield Court and Bowerfield House. She will be sending her hair to a charity that makes wigs for those going through chemotherapy. The cut will take place on 15th December, where one of the residents will make the first snip. Donna is going from hair that reaches the top of her bottom to having a short bob! We have a JustGiving page set up for donations, please contact us if you'd like to donate.

For International Men's Day today we very much recognised and celebrated the men of our home. They thoroughly enjoyed pints of beer, pork pies coupled with branston pickle and games of scrabble. 

This week, we were kindly gifted a bunch of beautiful flowers and chocolates, along with a thank you letter from Stockport Council as a reward for all the hard work the staff have done in this difficult time. Thank you Stockport Council! And a big thank you to all our hard working staff in all our homes working extra hard through this lockdown. You're all amazing! 

We had a lovely surprise today, a beautiful sweetie hamper was delivered from one of our lovely families to say thank you to our team at Troutbeck. A massive thank you for thinking of us. Staff and residents will really enjoy digging into this smashing sweetie selection - Team Troutbeck. 

All staff donned a moustache for Movember to show their support and raise awareness for men's health issues. Quite a few laughs were raised too!

A busy week at Bowerfield House. We celebrated Children In Need with a fun packed day - staff and residents took part in a PJ dress down day. There was lots of fun and smiles.

Happy Birthday to Jean who celebrated her birthday with the Bowerfield House team. Jean had a lovely cake!

Our reminiscence sessions have been very popular so far this month. We also embraced Remembrance with thoughtful reflection in the two minutes silence. 

Here at Clarendon Court on Thursday 16th we had our pizza day where residents had fun assembling pizza's with the help of our staff, lots of laughs along the way and then after they were cooked, later for tea it was pizza's all around with a lovely glass of vino. 

For World Kindness Day we created a kindness wall. Alongside the kindness quotes, staff were encouraged to write their own kind words on heart shaped paper and share them with their colleagues by adding them to the wall. We all agreed that a few kind words can go a long way. 

We really got into the spirt of Halloween at Riverview, even Godzilla got an invite this year.
