We celebrated the Queen's birthday in style at the home with a royal quiz and afternoon tea. We enjoyed homemade cakes made by our chef and fresh cream cakes all which were yummy. We can't wait for the Queen's second birthday, Trooping the Colour in June. 

We had a lovely day at the home celebrating VE Day and reminiscing about the stories we had heard and remembered ourselves during the Second World War. We had afternoon tea to celebrate the day and decorated the home and enjoyed music and quizzes. 

A huge thank you to Margaret the community champion at Asda in Falkirk for this lovely hamper to us for the residents. We really do appreciate all Margaret has done for us during this difficult year. 

We were delighted when two of our team completed their Care Practitioners course especially during the challenges the pandemic sent us. Well done to Andrew and Richard who have already signed up the further progress their careers in care on the Nurse Associate course.

Today our new Magic Teapot room invited a few residents to enjoy High Tea. Everyone arrived to the music playing on the old fashioned record player. The fabulous cakes and beautiful China wowed everyone. The room was filled with laughter, smiles and chatter. The tea flowed and the afternoon was a great success. Just as the ladies departed the magic tea pot dished out wee chocolates, the ladies can't wait to return to another afternoon at The Magic Tea Pot. Kind thanks go to Stacey, Pauline and all the kitchen staff for all the fabulous baking. 

We had a fabulous afternoon singing and dancing to the Musical Memories who entertained us from outside the home in May. There was lots of singing and dancing and everyone had a thoroughly wonderful time. 

We received a very kind donation from Poundland in Catterick for staff and residents when we were shopping in May. We can't thank you enough for thinking of us and for all your support during the pandemic. We will be sure to enjoy all our treats with a cuppa in the home. 

We had a lovely morning planting some seeds for our raised bed project here at Rosedale. We bought some flowers and vegetable seeds and potted them into little pots to be transferred into the flower beds once they start to grown. We can't wait to show you them when you visit. 

We had a lovely morning on May the 5th hosting "Time For A Cuppa". Our staff and residents held a fundraiser for Dementia UK, to ensure more families effected by dementia can receive the help and support from Admiral Nurses. We have personally felt the effects of the pandemic ourselves, and we would like to show our support to others that are suffering too. We had lots of gorgeous cake donated to the home and the residents thoroughly enjoyed the coffee morning. 

We were delighted when Musical Memories joined us for a 50's show in the garden in April. It was a lovely day and some of our residents enjoyed a dance in the court yard as Michaela sang to us. We had such a wonderful afternoon and can't wait to do it again.
