We were delighted when Jeanette, our wonderful Housekeeper here at Corinthian House won our first Regional Hero Award.

Jeanette works tirelessly to support residents within Corinthian House. She oversees the housekeeping and laundry team and supports in the kitchen. On Christmas Eve Jeanette supported the night shift by coming into care when a staff member called in sick at short notice. Jeanette is a pleasure to work with and does her job with an admirable amount of love, compassion, and kindness, she is an asset to the Corinthian House and Yorkshire regional team.

We had some fun with the old games at the home this month as well as learning new technology.  We played games of hoopla, tin can alley and then an afternoon of games on the tablet (squash the spider).  The residents thoroughly enjoyed themselves and were so good at squashing the spider.

Rabbie Burns Night at the home is always something our residents enjoy, and this year was no different. We had a piper and an accordion player to entertain our residents and lots of singing and dancing before we sat down to a supper of haggis, neeps and tatties.

We enjoyed a fabulous Burn Supper at the home to celebrate all things Rabbie Burns. We had a delicious meal of haggis, neeps and tatties with a dram of whisky to celebrate. Here is our table, all set for Burns Supper.

Rabbie Burns night in Scotland is always a wonderous night of celebrations at Parksprings. This year we wanted to do something a little extra special and filmed all of our wonderful residents reading the lines of a very famous song. There was amazing singing, poetry and reciting, Tartan and Haggis to bring in Rabbie Burns night in style. Our wonderful Stella from Nordoff Robbins has created a wonderful wee video for us which you can view on our Facebook page at ParkspringsCWCH.

There is lots of work happening at Rosedale at the moment in the Lodge which is undergoing a huge refurbishment project to open April time. Our very handy maintenance man, Steve, has been such a huge help. We were delighted when our Commercial Director, James Burgan, came yesterday to present Steve our maintenance manager with vouchers for a meal out for Steve and his wife as a big thank you.

Thank you to Steve for all of your hard work and thank you James for popping in to see us and all of the work going on in the Lodge.

We celebrated Burns Night at Rose Lodge with the traditional Haggis, neeps and tatties. We enjoyed some Scottish songs during the day, along with Scottish Shortbread and tales of We had a lovely morning joining in the Burns celebrations and our Haggis, neeps and tatties were enjoyed by all.

Chinese New Year celebrations at Garden Hill. We listened to traditional Chinese music while enjoying stir fry with spring rolls and prawn crackers with sweet chili dip. We used a translation app to learn Chinese and discovered our astrology animals. We then enjoyed some arts and crafts sessions to colour in our astrology animals.
