Congratulations to our newest Care Practitioner Grace Hough. Achieving this goal through covid has been a challenge but she was not to be beaten.

Well-deserved and on MMCG carer appreciation day too. Double celebration at The Westbourne!

This year June has been chosen as the month to highlight the capital importance of food and drink in maintaining health and wellbeing in health and social care. For that reason, we have created hydration stations where the residents can enjoy a whole range of fresh juices, fruit, sandwiches and salad.

A big thank you to Alison and Clare, Community Champions at Morrisons Skipton for the large box of flowers donated for our flower arranging class. Troutbeck will look blooming wonderful when we have our bouquets on display.

Today we enjoyed MMCG's inaugural Carers Appreciation Day here at Bowerfield Court. We are all immensely proud and extremely grateful to all of our carers for the amazing work that they do on a daily basis. Each of our carers were presented with a 'Thank You' certificate coupled with a gift from Head Office. Banners and balloons were put up around the home and Sarah our chef made some fabulous cupcakes for everyone to share.

Our Westbourne residents watched the England and Germany football match on Tuesday evening. There was loads of excitement and flag waving by both ladies and gentlemen, topped of with a splendid buffet supper with a lovely refreshing glass of Sahndy and of course England score a goal.

This week we celebrated National Candy Month 2021 by opening our sweet shop for our residents. We got a few favourite sweets from our childhood days, which were really appreciated and bought back lots of memories. The sweets were enjoyed by all and we certainly can say our residents have a sweet tooth.

Everyone here at The Belvedere Care Home celebrated National Cupcake Day for which we raised funds for The Alzheimer's Society. We had some beautiful cakes donated by our care team which were enjoyed with a lovely cup of tea. We combined this with a mini bake off and I'm happy to say our overall winner was our Deputy Manager Lynn Butterworth with her delicious Bakewell Cake.

With the help of our lovely colleagues we managed to raise £42.50. Thanks for the amazing support and all your hard work.

Well done to one of our residents who won our fabulous Father's Day hamper. All money raised has been placed directly into the residents' fund with our plans being to spend it on a day trip out. Happy Father's Day to all Dads!

Residents and staff enjoyed photos in front of the backdrop. In this photo we had 3 bubble machines throwing out bubbles in between the residents. Chef Joey created this fabulous fruit display. 

Residents were over the moon to have some live entertainment back, even though it was a garden concert residents enjoyed themselves immensely by singing, dancing and clapping along. They enjoyed one of their favourite singers sing some of their classic songs, from Dean Martin to Frank Sinatra.
