As well as trying lots of tasty Italian Food we also used a selection of fresh ingredients to top our pizza which we enjoyed for dinner that evening. Bellissima! 

A huge thank you to our carers and our entire team from the bottom of our hearts. You are all amazing, we couldn't be without you all. 

What a beautiful day to get outside and have a bit of fun, so what if we had to create our own breeze. We had a great time playing games and we even managed to just sit for 5 minutes to enjoy the sun on the way back. 

We celebrated National Carer's Week by putting on an ice cream tasting day to say thank you to all our care staff. Residents and staff enjoyed several different flavours of ice cream together with cornets, lollies, wafers, sauces and sprinkles. 

Recently it was National Biscuit Day. Now don't be upset we never shared with you, we decided to save them all of us, we managed a lovely tea and biscuits session in the days honour. 

When the music flows, you've just got to bust a move. Dancing is the best form of exercise ever!

We have been hosting dinner parties at Ashmead. It's a very relaxing setting with music in the background. The people who live at Ashmead enjoy having lunch together and choosing their own menu beforehand but most of all they enjoy chatting and sharing memories and stories together. As we are not able to visit the restaurants at the moment we decided to bring the restaurants to Ashmead. 

An enjoyable day was had by all at Ashmead Care Centre when an Indian Cuisine BBQ with a Military twist was arranged for the residents. Residents and staff enjoyed the special BBQ prepared by the Head Chef and his team. The activities team decorated the garden for the party and wore clothing to suit the occasion. As well as music, singing from the residents could be heard throughout the community. 

Bowerfield House celebrated Carers Week by giving our fantastic team of carers a certificate and a homemade keyring made by myself with a heart mental heath jigsaw logo and a Alzheimer's logo. This is a gift of appreciation from myself and the management team Kirsty and Charlie, we would like to say a big thankyou for the amazing job they do.

Carers week is an annual campaign to raise awareness of carers and how hard they work.

We had a visit from Jim, our favourite ice cream man. Residents and staff enjoyed their ice creams which they had after eating fish and chips in paper trays to celebrate National Fish and Chip Day.
