Allingham House celebrated Red Nose Day with a Fundraising Coffee Morning. Staff from different departments collaborated baking delicious cupcakes, biscuits and chocolate brownies. Later on, Activities Staff sold them to raise money for Comic Relief. I would like to give a big thank you to all Allingham House's staff for their collaboration. 

Our sensory room here at Bowerfield Court offers a wide variety of sensory stimulation for our residents. The multi coloured lights are visually appealing and, coupled with the aroma of essential oils and music, help to create a relaxed and calm environment. Pamper sessions are also available. These include hand and arm massages, foot spas and manicures. The residents favourite refreshments are on hand too to help achieve an all round sensory and meaningful experience.   

This week at Highfield we decided to mix our celebration for Red Nose Day with baking! Most of our residents got involved and loved baking in preparation for Red Nose Day. We made a beautiful sponge cake which was delicious! Everyone had a lot of fun either baking or just enjoying the celebrations.

Several members of staff at Ashmead Care Centre took time from their busy schedule to remember those lost during recent times to the Covid 19 virus. Friends and families were thought of, including those left without their loved ones whilst Reflection Day gave everybody the opportunity to have a two-minute silence of thought.

We celebrated Mothers Day with lots of flowers, chocolates and afternoon tea here at Troutbeck.  

We celebrated St Patrick's Day with Irish Cream Liquor, Guinness and lots of Irish music. 

Mary celebrated her 100th birthday, she had a lovely day with a long awaited visit from her sister. 

One of our residents has a journal of her life and we talked about the places she has visited and the experiences she has had. She said that she has had a wonderful and exciting life when she was a young girl. She loved to dress up and enjoyed eating out with friend and traveling.

Last week was St Patrick Day and we here at Highfield enjoyed delicious Irish traditional snacks and stew, accompanied by some traditional Irish music. Everyone had a wonderful day followed by a green themed quiz in afternoon!

Residents at Bowerfield House have been enjoying lots of activities. Some of the residents favourites were flower arranging, pizza making and we celebrated Mother's Day and St Patrick's Day in style with our Irish queen Helena. It was a great week with lots of fun and laughter.
