Our residents took advantage of the lovely weather and enjoyed some outside activities. Bunny ears always causes a stir and the laughter can be heard all through the home. 

Gail from Abbey View Nursing Home got her lovely long hair chopped and donated it to The Little Princess Trust. 

To all the Amber Court Team, You are such an important part of peoples lives at such a special time when smiles, kindness and care mean the world. Thank you for looking after my dad and also me. Delma, Lily and Alice you were stars during everything. Thank you to everyone else who made my dad smile, laugh or had a nice chat with you. It means so much.

Treat everyone with politeness and kindness, not because they are nice, but because you are.

Well done to one of our residents here at Appletree Court, who sent a condolence card to the Queen she said how sorry she was for the loss of her husband Prince Philip and her thoughts and prayers go out to her family, she also said he nearly made it to a 100 which is a great achievement. To our surprise the Queen sent a reply back which made the resident very happy!

Bowerfield House and our sister home The Belvedere linked up to do a come dine with me event. Our theme was royalty so we wore cut out face masks and got the Union Jack flags out. We also wrote the Queen a birthday card as its her official birthday next week, Happy Birthday Your Majesty. Bowerfield House residents Pat, Jenny and Geoffrey prepped all food and I drove down to The Belvedere to drop the food off where the activity coordinator Katie cooked it.

Residents helped make colourful Mardi Gras shakers from empty Pringles tubes, cardboard rolls and paper towel tubes. They were decorated with free wallpaper samples, coloured feathers, flowers, butterflies and beads. They were then filled with dried rice. Betty helped to make giant colourful tissue papers flowers for display at the party. 

The backdrop was created by activities coordinator Marianne, residents helped to put up the balloons and decorations. The cake was made by one of our carers in the company colours. Marianne decorated it with a Mardi Gras Mask, feathers, flowers, butterflies and baubles. 

This afternoon our residents enjoyed a game of bingo. 

Margaret helped to paint and decorate Mardi Gras Masks for the party.

We have been enjoying time spent outside today at Troutbeck. The chess set is set up in the beautiful courtyard ready for the next players to see if they can win.
