We have had such a blast today celebrating the Queens Jubilee in style! We cleared the car park to make way for a huge gazebo, where we enjoyed entertainment from Sing Along with Ellie and Tickled Pink Productions. This was enjoyed with food from the BBQ, cake, and plenty of Pimms!

It’s been lovely having family and friends join us, making new friends, and creating memories with their loved ones on this special day 💞

Our Lifestyle Coordinators had a fantastic time engaging with the community at the Abingdon Meadow Festival at Rye Farm over the Jubilee weekend!

In the build up to the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, we have had many discussions around the monarchy and what it means to those that live here. Many expressed that they had never met the Queen, but would have loved to if given the chance, which got us thinking…

This week is picnic week so we opted for a Spanish tapas afternoon in the wonderful sunshine. We listened to Spanish guitar and worked on our tans while we enjoyed some yummy tapas favourites. The chatter flowed as we told stories of sun filled Spanish holidays, it was a lovely afternoon enjoyed by all.

Manorhey Care Home would like to take this great opportunity to recognise and thank our wonderful carers. We celebrated Carers Day with our carers and staff members.

Thanks you for everything you do. We love you all.

Everyone living at Wyndham Hall joined together to show their appreciation for the amazing work that our carers do on a daily basis, as they celebrated this year’s MMCG Carers Appreciation Day.

With the help of our Lifestyle Team, they had created a wonderful Thank You card that had been signed by every person living in the home, which they presented to our carers who were deeply touched by this lovely gesture.

The benefits of pets as therapy and animal visits in care homes are well known, so here at Pinewood we decided to support our local sanctuary - Finni's Ark and had a visit from Jethro and Sweets, their adorable little ponies.

When the sun is shining, our favourite place to be is in the garden here at Kings Court, enjoying our large beautiful garden.

Add a little bit of relaxing music, some cold ice cream and it really is the perfect afternoon in Swindon.

We had a very special visitor came to celebrate with us. One of our staff decided to surprise our residents and visitors. She dressed like the Queen, put a Queen mask, wore quirky fascinators' hat and she even bring one of Queen’s dogs with her (Stuffed toy). She really looks like the Queen, no doubt. Residents are happy and even cried because the Queen is here to celebrate with them. We played the United Kingdom’s national anthem and all the residents sang with it. What a lovely time to see them happy and amazed. 

What a wonderful time we had at Allingham House celebrating Queen's Elizabeth Platinum Jubilee.
