One of our very talented activities team started hairdressing on a Saturday during the lockdown whilst our usual hairdresser was unable to visit. The Saturday Salon proved to be so popular it carried on and continues to be a popular and busy event. 

MMCG recently celebrated its inaugural Carers Appreciation Day. At Riverview we took the opportunity to say a huge thank you to everyone for all of the amazing work that they do on a daily basis.

The celebrations were in full swing across the whole home including sharing a huge homemade cake.

When someone chooses to stay at River View, be it permanently or for respite care, the whole team takes it upon themselves to ensure that they are happy, healthy and settled.

We have a great professional team spirit which is seen and felt by our residents each day.

Ashmead has created a library within its Bluebell Lounge for the residents' full use. The activity team will also utilise the library to host book clubs as well as reading and discussion sessions on a regular basis. The people who live at Ashmead can easily keep abreast of media stories and events occurring in the local area. 

At Deepdene we enjoy our regular visits within the local area, the park and then for coffee and a cake is one of the favourites.

The maintenance team at Ashmead recently excelled themselves in the homemade construction of a feature bar, located in our Primrose Unit lounge. 

The bar, made mainly from recycled materials will act as a prime feature during future events.  Those already on the calendar are the Wimbledon Semi Finals on Friday 9th July 21 and The Euro Football Final at Wembley on Sunday 11th July 21  when England face Italy.

A fun day was had by all yesterday, it was the first time we were able to safely invite family to our outdoor celebration. 

To thank our hardworking professional visitors we are offering them a drink to go. Thank you for everything that you do, please grab a tea or coffee. 

It's safe to say that a day dedicated to chocolate was always going to be a hit with both residents and staff here at Bowerfield Court. We held a chocolate tasting competition and our receptionist Whitney was definitely our chief taster guessing all the flavours correctly. These were raspberry, marzipan, mint, orange, honeycomb and strawberry.

We had a wonderful NHS Big Tea Party on Monday in between the showers and managed to raise money to support Airedale General & Community Hospital. Thank you to all who supported our event.

We had the most wonderful time celebrating our wonderful carers for the very first MMCG Carers Appreciation Day. Where would we be without their skills, care and compassion.
