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

Cedar court residents enjoyed the outdoor entertainment on Thursday 10th June, a lovely afternoon with songs by our very talented entertainer Nathan, all the songs from the 50's and 60's, he was a huge hit!

Cedar Court have been approached by the Royal Surrey Hospital to knit blankets and wrist muffs for dementia patients. Our residents at Cedar Court were proud to take part and are busy knitting blankets and wrist muffs. Great work and an enjoyment by all. 

Who doesn’t love ice cream & ice lollies eh? after all, it’s one of the world’s favourite desserts! With the Summer in full bloom, we at Knights Court raided the freezer and got out some delicious ice lollies and choc ice creams as a treat for our residents. Did you know eating lollies & ice cream has health benefits? 

Our creative residents excelled again during a recent craft session, ceramic painting. The results were stunning and we are proud to showcase their work. A great time was had by all. 

This is Kim Jenkins from Barnes Court. Kim started the programme right before the pandemic. Despite the obstacles due to her dedication she has managed to complete the Care Practitioner programme. 

The residents and I spent the morning making our summer fruit salad which we all later enjoyed eating in the garden listening to some lovely music. We used a variety of fruits which we peeled, cut and grated into the salad. The aroma of the fruits encouraged other residents to come over and join in our activity.
