Alan popped in recently to have a sing along and make our lovely residents giggle! We love when Alan comes as he always puts a smile on our faces! It was also Hawaiian day at Astor so we all dressed up in bright outfits.

After months of planting, watering regularly and keeping an eye on the garden, Windmill has won this year's Slough in Bloom Competition. We thank James, our maintenance, with the help of some of our residents who love gardening for making this possible. Our garden has become a place where all of our residents like to spend their time, and all of us have made some fond memories together.

We survived! Here are just a handful of pictures taken of the Dussindale team at the top of the 3 peaks, along with our driver as without him it would not of been possible. 

I just want to say thank you to those who have sponsored the team and the 2 chosen charities. Alzheimer society and Jenny Lind hospital. 

We have smashed our target set collectively and for that we are really grateful. 

It is not too late to sponsor if you wish, we will close the link at the end of next week:

Bowerfield Court and Bowerfield House would like to thank everyone who made part of this amazing event, our residents who made crafts and helped to decorate our home, relatives, and staff for all the donations for our tombolas and raffles, as well as the community! We raised a total of £667.64 which will go towards our outings and trips.

The Sun had his hat on here at Abingdon Court as we welcomed Laurence The Music Man.

 

Laurence had us all dancing whether it was on our feet, in our chairs or waving our flags in the air. His song choices were full of memories as we sang along to our favourites. 🕺

 

For those living with Dementia engaging in music helps develop and maintain relationships with others and improves wellbeing. It can also help in expressing feelings as well as acting as a prompt for reminiscing.

 

The Coronation was a very big day for all of us at Ashmead, both staff and residents alike. We wanted to express our excitement and well wishes to King Charles and Queen Camilla so staff and residents got very creative and made a card to send to their majesties. The card was filled with wishes along with a letter from all of us at Ashmead wishing their majesties all the very best. It was a very pleasant surprise for us all when we received a response from their majesties appreciating the card we sent.

Coplands Nursing Home attended the London Borough of Brent Care Awards with our RD Ali Joolia. We are proud to say that across all 12 categories Coplands had staff nominated

However, we did have a winner, Maya Gurung, our receptionist with lots of votes and we want to congratulate her. Our Home Manager Babita wanted to thank all Coplands staff for their hard work and dedication, " their hard work continues to inspire me". 

Well done Coplands!

We celebrated Ancillary Day at Chartwell Manor. The team received gifts and certificates to say a big thanks for all their hard work and support.

Kings Court had a fantastic summer BBQ. The garden was buzzing with families, entertainers, food, drinks and laughter! Thank you to all who came and showed their support. The weather was beautiful as well.

The home would like to thank all the local businesses and family members who sponsored the raffle and tombola prizes, for helping to make the BBQ day a huge success. Your support means a lot and we are so thankful for contribution.

We had a Hawaiian themed party at the home. The people living with us enjoyed a delicious BBQ lunch, a raffle and Roger came to entertain us all. We had so much fun and had a brilliant day overall.
