In our home we had many activities to remember and honour the memory of those who served, are currently serving and those we have lost.

'Lest We Forget'.

We had a lovely time crafting for Remembrance Day. We painted pictures and created poppies using paper plates, red and black paint and cupcake cases and once it had all dried we turned it into bunting for our lounge. We listened to some amazing stories from our residents family history which they were so proud to tell.

We had a lovely trip last week with our residents. We took advantage of the weather and made our way to our local park making a stop for a cup of tea and yummy cake at our local deli.

Man of the match Kody Bentley. Another amazing performance from Pogmoor under 11's captain and the whole team, winning 4-2.  Midfielder Ali also need a special mention, he was like a machine. They are now through to the semi-finals of the Cup next Sunday. Keep it up boys. Water Royd wishes you the best of luck for the next round.

Today we are celebrating our head chef (Douglas)'s 50th birthday. Happy  Birthday from Residents & Staff at Ashfield Court.

This week has been really exciting our residents have been really busy. They have enjoyed a good pamper getting facials, manicures and have enlightened their day by listening to the power of music. Our lovely residents got physical in get fit exercise, where we did head to toe exercises. We also switched the activity up a little and used pom poms to make it more fun for our residents. This week we played bingo, "does your mother know that we played bingo", as our residents like to say. We played for a line and then the full house and had 2 games.

Bowerfield House worked hard on getting the home ready for Remembrance Sunday. We decorated the house inside and out, painted pebbles red and black and made a piece of art for the garden.

The pebbles were placed in the shape of a poppy and we decorated the reception and lounges. Poppy's have been on sale at Bowerfield House where staff, residents and their families were able to buy one.

We had musicians and a singer to celebrate our Remembrance Day.

To recognise Remembrance Day, the people living at Woodlands created beautiful poppy decorations which were displayed in the lounge.

To celebrate World Kindness Day on Saturday 13th November the Woodlands decorated quotes about kindness.  These were displayed around the care home to remind everyone to be kind.

We wanted to recognise Remembrance at Brunel House and we hosted a 1940s day.

It was a lovely day from start to finish with both staff and residents participating by dressing up for the occasion. There was a musical playlist, the café was decorated with replicas items which enabled us to reminisce, as well as a themed menu for the day.

The celebrations went on throughout the day. Thank you to all the staff team that supported and gave their help, it is very much appreciated by us all.

Staff at River View Care Home took a moment to quietly remember and pay tribute to all of those who have served in the armed services.

For this years Armistice Day everyone at Birch Heath Lodge participated in two minutes silence to pay respect for all those who served in the armed forces.

It was a touching moment to see everyone come together and show their admiration and support.

Personal experiences and memories were shared over a cup of tea.
