We love celebrating birthdays but when it is a milestone birthday, we like to go that extra mile by celebrating in style!

Easter bonnets, karaoke and fun on Easter Day. All residents received either an Easter egg or an Easter gift and an Easter greetings card. 

We are very proud of our staff at Howgate House Care Home, for achieving a bronze status having their Covid-19 vaccinations. They are looking to achieve Silver status imminently.

We had a game of skittles today. The residents used great strength and aim to knock the skittles. They soon became a little competitive and had good sportsmanship. They played for nearly an hour and really enjoyed it. Some people had a turn and others enjoyed just watching and taking in the atmosphere. 

At Bowerfield House Ron and Dianne enjoyed a game of football on the table which was lots of fun and Ron was happy he won. We will have lots more fun and laughs with all our residents and bring out our competitive sides. 

Theresa was overjoyed at the numerous cards, flowers and gifts she received from family and friends which made her birthday so special.  The beautiful ombre birthday cake made by our very talented Head Chef Sam was just the icing on the cake, so to speak, as the celebrations lasted all day. 

We celebrated 80 years of service today with our 5 domestic staff here at Willowbank who collectively have worked nearly 80 years between them. We enjoyed afternoon tea in the garden hosted by our home manager Angela Galloway and deputy Hillary. 

We might not be getting out and about or having as many visitors as usual but it's still busy at Princess Lodge. Pam continues to enjoy her weekly manicure whilst friends like to get together to socialise over a jigsaw. 

We started Easter preparations early to ensure we were able to make all of our own Easter cards. It was a busy time but spurred on by tea and cake, Cynthia and Pamela did a fantastic job.

What a beautiful week we have had at Bowerfield House, it was so nice to get outside for some much needed fresh air, it's the best medicine around. We enjoyed an ice lolly, beverage's and chatting to each other as a group. We had a few games of bowels and we all enjoyed each other's company. We had plenty of giggles and smiles all around.
