The residents joined the celebrations of Volunteers Week, writing letters and thank you cards to the volunteers that collaborate with us. We wanted to say thank you to them for the amazing work that they do. 

We had a visit from Jim, our favourite ice cream man. Residents and staff enjoyed their ice creams which they had after eating fish and chips in paper trays to celebrate National Fish and Chip Day. 

We have had a large delivery of cakes supplied from the friends of Troutbeck which was a lovely surprise. The residents will really enjoy these this afternoon with their cups of tea.

Thank you for the lovely treats from all at Troutbeck Care Home. 

Dear Rachael,

Please will you convey our thanks to all your staff at Clarendon Court Care Home for the love and care you showed whilst looking after 'G'. We are truly thankful that G was discharged back to Clarendon Court from Leighton Hospital and allowed to die peacefully in the surroundings of people and in an environment he was comfortable with.

Our lovely resident Joan celebrated her 100th birthday with us at Dussindale Park. She was pleased to receive a card from the Queen to open in front of her family! Many happy returns from us all. 

The residents enjoyed soaking up the sun on Wednesday afternoon at Dussindale Park. We planted tomato plants and sprinkled sweet pea seeds in our garden. We can't wait for the wonderful display and delightful smell. 

Residents at Dussindale Park tuned in to their artistic flair with a craft session, painting ceramics. The final results are stunning and displayed with pride in the residents rooms. 

Staff and residents enjoyed a BBQ in the sun this week at Dussindale Park. Our chef prepared delicious burgers and hot dogs, all washed down with a tipple. 

We decided we would have a Chinese themed day. Our wonderful chef came up with a very tasty menu for our residents, which they all really enjoyed. We then made Chinese lanterns to decorate the dining room tables and the residents seemed to find this very enjoyable. Everyone had a lovely day. 

We have been donated a lovely sequin sensory board for our residents here at Clumber Court. We would like to say a big thank you to Lifetime Education for donating it, especially a lady called Natalie for thinking of us. The residents love the feel of it and the bright colours that appear when they move their hand across the board.
