Taylors of Harrogate have kindly donated this wonderful selection of Yorkshire Tea to be one of our raffle prizes for our next Garden Party. Let's hope the weather is as generous. 

Thank you to Emma from Spa Shop on Lowther Street who donated £200 worth of Easter flowers for our ladies who live in the home. They had such a wonderful surprise when our Manager and Lifestyle Coordinatored dropped by with various boxes and bouquets from you. It was a joy to see the smiling faces of the ladies in the home.

There was lots of Easter activity in the home this year. We started with arts and crafts and making our own bonnets and then on Easter Sunday one of the team dressed up as the Easter bunny and delivered our eggs for us. We had a lovely buffet in the afternoon with some party games with singing and dancing.

The Croft bar opened in April and we were delighted when  a friend of the home, Mark, came into the home with a wonderful new sign for the bar he had created.  Mark said “it was for a great cause and he wanted to help”. Thank you so much Mark.

Joy and Jade have been putting their Oomph exercises into practice today with our residents on Oak. They played 60’s and 70’s music starting off gently before finishing with a bit of Tina Turner.

We are delighted to share with you our Decision Tree which our Dementia Ambassador, Meghan at Corinthian House has created.



The decision tree enables our residents, families and friends in the decisions that we make about the home.

Each month there will be a new theme, and we would love to hear from you.



The theme for May is our Summer Menu - what would you like to see on the menu at Corinthian House?

This could be meals, desserts, drinks or snacks that you think your loved one would like.

A massive thank you to these lovely ladies Annette and Natalie from the local Sainsburys supermarket for their donation of eggs for our lovely residents at Belmont in April.  They were delighted to receive the Easter Eggs and appreciated being thought of by the local community.

In April we celebrated the Queen’s 96th birthday at Belmont House. We had a huge party at the home with flags, birthday cake and some music whilst we reminisced about our memories of the Queen, the family weddings and street parties and where the sad goodbye of Prince Phillip. We hope our Queen had a wonderful birthday celebration.

Our chef Christine took some time out to help our lifestyle Coordinator and residents to make a fruit cake, we made enough mixture for cupcakes and a huge sponge. There was lots of involvement from our residents and staff, lots of laughs and flour everywhere. The cake took almost 3 hours to bake, our lifestyle Coordinator couldn't wait to decorate it with our lovely residents. We asked our residents what traditional treats were made at Easter and a Simmel cake was very popular.

He is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, having sold an estimated 150 million records worldwide and many of the people living with us Monread Lodge enjoyed spending time remembering this legendary singer.

Our residents enjoyed finding out lots of interesting new facts about Frank, watching a documentary about his long showbusiness career and of course, listening to his many wonderful classic tunes . To finish off our reminiscing, we sang along to our favourite Sinatra songs.
