Residents and staff from Belmont House enjoyed a lovely afternoon walk around Belmont Park. 

For the next destination in our International Food Day Journey, the Romanian national flag was flying high at Ashmead. Delicious national food was prepared and enjoyed. The event was preceded by a Relatives Meeting and all who attended were invited to join their loved ones for the event. Several Romanian members of staff from within the home assisted the kitchen staff in preparing the food. A true team effort from all  made for a most enjoyable day.

The Wharf Care Home proudly supporting the Forget-Me-Not Garden 21st - 29th August at Brinton Park.  The lovely people at KEMP Hospice based in The Wyre Forest put together incredible collection of uniquely handcrafted Forget-Me-Not Flowers which were available for members of the public to secure a flower in memory of a loved one. Volunteers from The Wharf got stuck in putting the installation together and were thrilled to be able to support such a wonderful event.

There was so much laughter yesterday morning at Hope Green as residents and staff gathered together to decorate cupcakes and even some waffles too! Buttercream, chocolate buttons and sprinkles were an absolute success on a dull autumn morning and perfect with our morning tea and coffee at 11am. It was wonderful to see everyone choosing carefully and even showing their individual creative flair. It's always good to spend time together, we used our fine motor skills to decorate and then eat our wonderful creations.

"Hi James,

I just wanted to say a massive thank you from myself and V for the support, comfort and love shown to my Mum. We have been on some rollercoasters with Allingham but I have to say that currently I have the highest regard for all your staff and facilities.

I was blown away by the amount of staff that visited Mum this week, with genuine affection and care for her. I know my Mum could be a handful and apologise to anyone that received a back hand from her, she did have a cheeky and naughty streak through her but was the kindest lady anyone could meet.

Bowerfield House had a fantastic week, we celebrated Hot Dog Day and Carols 77th birthday. Me and Ron also enjoyed a trip down to the pub, he enjoyed his pint and a lovely chat. Everyone loved their Hot Dogs, we talked about all the different topping you can put on a hot dog, we enjoyed ours with onions and ketchup.

Keen to enjoy the lovely September sunshine we decided to hold a balloon race in the garden.  There was a lot of laughter as we cheered the competitors on. As always, our chef and their team produced a fantastic buffet.
