Bowerfield House made awareness of the nutrition hydration week, we enjoyed the cool beverages and fresh fruit on the hydration station that are on display every day and topped up regular through out the day, we talked about how important it was to keep fluids up on a hot day .

Our activities theme for the month of June here at Bowerfield Court is 'Travels Around The UK'. We have started off our armchair travels in Scotland where we have enjoyed looking at a wide variety of images including Edinburgh Castle, the Highland Games, Orkney Settlements, the amazing rock formations on the Isle of Skye, the Standing Stones of Callanish, the Robert the Bruce statue and William Wallace monument and also the different tartans of Scottish clans. Residents also shared their own stories of holidaying in the Highlands.

For Nutrition and Hydration Week we made fruit kebabs with a few added extras. These went down really well with both residents and staff being both refreshing and a little naughty with the drizzle of chocolate and marshmallow. 

We couldn't believe the transformation of Our Albert the Veg Man. We are really grateful to our Administrator Kirsty's mum for the work she's put in to transform him. I'm sure everyone agrees that he looks fantastic, I know we all do, he now has pride of place in our garden next to the Strawberry patch. 

HRH Queen's Birthday celebrations were well underway at Hope Green with a keen interest in Trooping The Colour. We loved the marching, the music and the whole display, which prompted us to look at past Royal celebrations. As we enjoy a good singalong we got our Union Jack flags to wave whilst we sang the National Anthem and other favourites which included Land Of Hope and Glory. There was a lot of fun and laughter too as some residents made their own crowns to wear for the celebrations, choosing their own jewels very carefully for such a special event. They looked great!

It's Hot Hot Hot - the arrival of hot weather at Hope Green brought some lovely surprises of ice lolly deliveries and iced lemonade. Always conscious of keeping hydrated, we were enjoying some refreshing treats together whilst chatting about our favourite types of summer holidays. We even created our own display to celebrate the arrival of the summer sunshine and enjoyed the shade of the garden, watching the birds enjoying their feeding station which we had refilled with plenty of water too. 

We celebrated the Queen's official birthday, we had a wonderful afternoon. We had some facts about the Queen which the residents loved to read about and some lovely pictures of the Queen. I also had a face mask of the Queen which went down great. 

Congratulations to Alexandra Mora who has recently completed the Care Practitioner programme.

Alexandra is looking forward to continuing her career at Kents Hill and gain further clinical skills. To celebrate her achievement, she was presented with this lovely hamper from our Head Office training and development team.

Well done Alexandra from all of the staff and residents at Kents Hill

Bowerfield House had a lovely morning designing our wall art of a football pitch with all the countries flags placed around the football pitch, it's displayed lovely in our lounge. We talked about all the different countries all around the world (which is our theme this month) and about football and who we think will win, we all agreed England to win, so come on boys, you can do it! 

At Alexandra Court we celebrated the Queen's official birthday and National Gin and Tonic Day. Residents Gwen and Dorothy joined in and enjoyed the afternoon.
