As part as the national nutrition and hydration week 2021, we at Manorhey enjoyed some healthy smoothies, made with our favourite fresh fruit. Residents got involved by chopping the fruit as part of the preparation for the smoothies. The residents felt lovely and refreshed and enjoyed the different variations of fruit.

We have been given some new CDs by a friend of Troutbeck Care Home and will enjoy listening to these later today. With eight CDs to choose from there should be something for everyone to enjoy. 

Residents at Dussindale Park had a busy afternoon creating some beautiful flower arrangements. These stunning arrangements were they displayed around the home. 

We have so many seeds now and can't wait to get sowing these flowers and vegetables over the next few weeks. We have been enjoying the sunshine over the past few weeks and hope this continues throughout summer. 

Congratulations to Amber Court - May Regional Carnival competition category winner for the most creative event. Home Manager, Delma Dela Cruz, said staff and residents had a wonderful day and we are thrilled to have won a lovely sweet and biscuits hamper. Residents and staff and looking forward to tucking into the hamper. 

Residents at The Hawthorns have had lots of fun in the sun this week. We had refreshing drinks created by our ladies and individual paddling pools set up for everyone to cool down whilst relaxing. 

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. 

Today at Manorhey we celebrated National Cupcake Day by making our very own cupcakes. We baked them in the morning and then enjoyed them in the afternoon with a cup of tea once we had decorated them. We can definitely say they went down a treat.

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
