River View Care Home are holding their own challenge to cycle from Tilehurst to Santa’s Village in Lapland, all in support of The Alzheimer’s Society ‘Elf Day’ this Thursday 3rd December.

Google tells us that it will take 6 days and 7 hours – a total of 151 hours, so we really need everyone’s to reach our target!

On Elf Day, Theo the 8 foot mascot for ‘The Knights Foundation’, a children’s disabilities charity, will come and collect the Christmas post and say hello to everyone at River View.

Clarendon Court are all ready to welcome our local community for carols, minced pies, mulled wine or hot chocolate in support of the Stapeley Christmas Lights Walking Trail. Chilly night so we'll all be wrapped up warm.

Christmas has arrived at Bowerfield House, we have all enjoyed putting our Christmas decorations up inside and outside our home. They are looking amazing and all staff, residents and their families have commented on how lovely the home looks.

We have made Christmas decorations and all residents received a lovely Christmas card which was a delight to see the reactions on their faces, there were smiles all round!

On a crisp November day, we were really fortunate to welcome The Moving On Choir to River View.

While the choir sang beautifully, the people living with us and their guests joined along in the singing, which was a really heart warming experience for us all.

Warmly wrapped up with layers of coats and blankets, we all welcomed and appreciated the cakes, mulled wine and hot chocolate that was served afterwards.

We are all looking forward to the Christmas Carols event now more than ever.

Everyone in Amber Court is very excited for Christmas day, that’s why we made a beautiful wreath which was decorated by our lovely residents and staff. Look how lovely it is!

Clarendon Court are busily preparing for an outdoor Carol Concert to support the launch of the Stapeley Christmas Lights Walking Trail in support of local charities. We look forward to welcoming friends and families to join us for carols, mulled wine and mince pies on November the 25th at 6p.m.

Halloween at Kings Court was a fantastic day, made even more enjoyable by all the people working at the care home dressing up and really getting into the spirit of things.

The period of Remembrance is a time that holds a high amount of significance for many of those who live here at Abingdon Court. For this reason, we make certain to honour and respect this time. In the build up to Remembrance Sunday, we prepared by making our own poppies whilst talking about what Remembrance Sunday means to us.

We had a lovely catch up recently with a dear friend.  One of our activities team recently moved to Dubai and we called her on Skype.    She loved catching up with everyone at The Hawthorns and we were thrilled to bring her up to date with how we are all doing. She showed us photos of what she's been up to and we were all so happy to have this catch up and check in. Big smiles all round!

We celebrated world nursery rhyme week in style!

The people living and working at Brunel House dressed for the occasion. There was a big party that lasted the whole day with an endless supply of cakes and sweets. The day ended with a themed nursey rhyme quiz. It was just one of those really fun, silly days.
