We have been decorating around the home and Deepdene is very lucky to have staff team members with many skills like Adrian helping to put these beautiful vases on the flowers shop.

Sadly we have had to say goodbye to Angela who retired on the 16th September 2021.  Angela has been a huge part of Belvoir Vale for so many years and we will all miss her although she has kindly agreed to return and visit us each Sunday when the Church service take place.

Angela, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Bowerfield House has had another busy activity week , starting with cupcake decorating , painting, craft and chatting about this months theme Myths, legends and fairy tails and all the different and interesting facts. We are looking forward to seeing our staff adding to the list of myths and facts , we also enjoy our morning routine relaxation music and sensory light, they also enjoyed me blowing bubbles.

Amber Court team had a great idea to turn our Oscar Awards Statue into scary mummy. We used tissue rolls to cover and draw some bloods in it. Look how amazing and scary it is. Our residents and staff in Amber Court can’t wait for our Halloween Party!

Bowerfield House celebrated Black History Month with a yummy Ghanaian Hot Chocolate from Ghana. We heated the milk and put brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, honey and grated dark 85% cocoa chocolate, mixed it all together and pour into a cup with a squirt of cream .

All the residents really enjoyed it and we will definitely be making it again. We talked about Black History with all the residents

Congratulations to Victoria Swindells on gaining her care practitioner qualification.

Vicky has loved the training and is looking to apply for the nurse associate training.

We are so happy to see Vicky succeed.

Our residents enjoyed a fun-filled Disney day last month. The activities team started off by decorating the home with beautiful bright balloons and decorations. We then did different Disney themed activities, some made Disney head pieces and princess tiaras whilst others coloured Disney colouring pages. Then in the afternoon the activities team dressed up, we enjoyed classic Disney movies with popcorn, cupcakes, sweets and mickey mouse shaped sandwiches. We ended our day by singing Disney soundtracks and dancing away.

Feeling blue??

Well not in that way...

Residents and staff at Manorhey celebrated jeans or Genes day. Staff swapped their uniforms to jeans for a small donation and then service users and staff enjoyed a 'blue' themed afternoon with many treats such as blue lemonade, blueberry muffins. blue chocolate dipped strawberries and many more blue treats...

One of our resident's relative sent us a lovely flowers and wrote a thank you card for everyone. This means a lot to us! We are very happy to serve and care.

It was an uplifting atmosphere at Hope Green Care Awards Party as we danced to 'Reach For The Stars' music and gathered together to watch the National Awards Ceremony live streamed. Staff were awarded certificates and Oscars for their individual contributions too which was a real celebration of our unique team and their amazing work. Residents had visits to the salon for a hairdressing treat and appreciated the beautifully decorated lounge filled with balloon arches and stars and of course the popcorn! Well done Hope Green!
