London Fashion Week at the Hawthorns
In recognition of London Fashion week recently, some of the people who live at The Hawthorns created their own tie-dye t-shirts. We were all pretty impressed with the results, perhaps there’s room for a Hawthorns fashion line!

World Alzheimer’s Day 2021
The people who live and work at The Hawthorns showed their support for World Alzheimer’s Day 2021 by decorating purple ribbons which are on display in our home.
There was also an afternoon of fun playing a memory game all together.

Care Awards at Ashmead
The MMCG Care Awards "Oscar" Day held at Ashmead on Friday 24th Sept 21 was a day to remember for all residents and staff.

Certificates and flower bouquets were awarded to our finalists whilst everyone present enjoyed wonderfully prepared food, music and the late September sunshine.

Care Awards at Manorhey
Manorhey joined in on the care awards last month. We arranged an Oscar themed party. Along with the residents the staff enjoyed prosecco with strawberries, a spread of hot and cold buffet and an Oscar themed cake which was made by our activities Co-Ordinator. We were nominated for best home and best manager, unfortunately we didn't win either however fingers crossed for next year.
Care Awards At Alexandra Court
We celebrated the care awards in good style with flowing refreshments, alcohol and non-alcoholic followed with a buffet tea. We also combined Macmillan afternoon with a great bake off, a few of the residents judged the cakes and found myself, Tina, the over all winner, with Joanne the runner up. Even though we didn't win any awards, we are all winners working hard to make lives here better for all our residents and working as a team. Well done to everyone who did win a award.
Catch Up With Friends
Our activities coordinator Katie and residents Maureen and Annette, all enjoyed a catch up with me and Ron from Bowerfield House. We met up at Brookside Garden Centre and had some lunch which we all enjoyed and we had a good chat and the food was delicious, followed by a good look around the garden centre at all the lovely things. We loved to see the Christmas stock out on the shelves, me and Ron look forward to meeting up with our lovely friends from Belvedere again very soon.
Care Awards At Amber Court
