Bowerfield House had a great day celebrating National Nurses’ Day, we are very lucky to have some amazing nurse working at Bowerfield House. We celebrated by the residents signing a nurses card for our nurses thanking them for all the hard work they do. We also did them a little afternoon tea party which went down a treat, we decorated our house with banners and balloons, and we gave all the nurses a badge and certificate .

Each nurse received a gift from MMCG, a portable phone charge which was gratefully received .

Celebrating our wonderful nurses on International Nurses Day with Nozeco, themed cakes and a little goody bag of gratitude to say how much they are appreciated.

This month Birch Heath Lodge celebrated National Nurses Day. The afternoon held a performance from Mark Whitby, who sang and entertained us with some of our favourite songs. Afterwards we held a presentation to show our thanks and gratitude to all of our hardworking and committed Nurses at the home.

Toasting our Queen after we have planted our commemorative tree, a cherry blossom, chosen by our Resident's committee. Accompanied by Helen our Deputy Manager and of course the Queen herself (well nearly!).

It's always great to celebrate together at Hope Green and earlier this month it was a member of staff passing a driving test! It's wonderful how friendships are formed between our staff and residents. It's important that we care about each other and we enjoy milestones regardless of our ages. This celebration was made complete by gathering flowers from our beautiful gardens and presenting them whilst sharing stories of driving to favourite places, even sunny drives to the coast for fish and chips 

The one thing myself and my colleagues have learned is how to get a giggle out of our residents. Low and behold crazy hair day never fails. From having wigs pinched to Bows borrowed our lovely lot always get involved. What a silly, wacky, day had by all

We enjoyed a wonderful visit from Kiddley Divy recently who entertained us all with songs from our favourite musicals. Everyone was able to join in with the fun, which along with singing included chair based dancing

We have been looking at photos of animals and holiday destinations the residents love reminiscing about holidays they have been on.

We all so love a sing a long

VE Day celebrations included a great sing-a-long with flag waving and of course lots of dancing together.

Residents and staff chatted about the importance of the day with some residents sharing special memories of street parties, Vera Lynn and Winston Churchill. There was a vibrant and uplifting atmosphere throughout the home with visitors commenting on the various red white and blue displays and decorations.

The lovely and talented Samantha Jones joined us and entertained with songs from the 40's. We all enjoyed singing along, flag waving and some of our residents volunteered to set the mood and take us back in time.
