Trish Gordon was kindly gifted this hamper by Head Office for recently passing her Care Practitioner qualification. Well done Trish. 

To all staff at Bowerfield Court, thank you for the wonderful care. 

I've been touched by all the kind words about T you have conveyed to me. It's clear your really knew and loved the sweet and gentle soul T was. I just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful care my brother received whilst living at Bowerfield Court. He really felt at home and loved getting to know you all and hearing about your families. 

May is Stroke Awareness Month and everyone at Bowerfield Court is helping to raise both money and awareness. We have made purple ribbons for both residents and staff to wear, along with displaying large ribbons in our lobby and on each floor of our home. Ribbons are available for free for any visitor to our home and are to be found in our lobby along side bags of sweets that are for sale. All money raised will be donated to the Stroke Association at the end of the month. 

Today we enjoyed happy hour with our friends of the home, with music, wine and some favourite snacks. We had a little dance too, just what we needed for a Friday afternoon. 

Today at Manorhey we enjoyed a performance from one of our favourite entertainers. She had everyone dancing away the whole way through. She definitely brought a smile to our faces. 

We had a lovely surprise today at Belmont House, our local charity Resurrected Bites dropped by with some beautiful flowers for our resident - such lovely colours, we will be doing some beautiful arrangements with the help of our residents for their rooms. Thank you so much from residents and staff at Belmont House.

The creativity and artistic talents of the people who live at Cedar Court continues to amaze us all. This person who created this beautiful piece lives with dementia. It's all part of the ongoing work at Cedar Court to support people living with dementia to express themselves through their love of art. 

We spent the morning arranging flowers to put around our home. We chose sunflowers and some lovely purple, pink and white flowers to brighten up our day. A very lovely and relaxing activity to do especially whilst listening to Jazz music. 

Erika has recently qualified as a Care Practitioner, to celebrate we bought her a card and a present and presented it to her today. Erika is looking forward to continuing her career with Maria Mallaband and we are delighted she has achieved her goal. 

Today we celebrated National Nurses Day with a range of activities. It was lovely to see the joy on the residents' faces after our poetry reading and pride in their own handiwork, whether that was colouring in, puzzle solving or writing and thanking a nurse they know.
