On 16th June 2021 Coplands Nursing Home celebrated their Summer fete party with residents, residents families and members of staff. A meeting, lunch with refreshments and entertainment was organised. Staff wore their traditional dress and summer dress. The residents and the resident’s family enjoyed the event.

Colouring is known to offer many benefits such as encouraging relaxation and lowering stress and anxiety levels. It can be done by anyone and it's a hobby you can take anywhere, including the garden. It's even more enjoyable when you are joined by friends. 

During the warmer weather you can't keep us out of the garden. Sunshine and cocktails are the perfect partners as is a game or two of table tennis or card games. 

Today we updated our board, we changed it from spring to summer, we decorated it with beautiful flamingos, palm trees and ice lollies. Lets bring on summer. Residents enjoyed looking at all the pretty bright colours. 

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.
