Shrove Tuesday was a huge laugh here at The Moors! We ate delicious pancakes for lunch and the brilliant chefs even made us some extras to have a bit of fun with! We had pancake 'races', competitions for the highest flip and the best catch just to name a few - even the staff got involved!

As this week was national spa week we invited our residents to come and enjoy spa treatments of their choice, some of the pamper treatments included wash and blow drys, manicures, hand and facial massages which each resident chose by preference. What made it even more special was indulged in a glass or two of prosecco and strawberries, we can certainly say today was thoroughly enjoyed and very much appreciated by all here at Manorhey. 

Today we have enjoyed mental stimulation word challenge game. We thought of a word and then had to create as many words as we could from the chosen word, this certainly got us thinking and working our brains to the max. Along side this challenge, as you can imagine there were definitely some laughs our best score of the day was a whopping 16 words. 

What a beautiful morning in Manorhey garden, looking for our furry friends the squirrels for their daily morning visit. Spring is almost definitely on its way. 

The residents enjoyed the last week having special activities to celebrate Chinese New Year, they were decorating the home with dragon bunting and also created beautiful illustrations that have been displayed around the home.

We know how important it is to keep in touch with the different community groups. The residents enjoyed singing songs with the children from the nursery next door in the garden.

We at Highfield enjoyed Valentine’s Day with lovely music, karaoke, dance, and a little tea party with variety of Valentine cupcakes. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day and can’t wait for our next celebrations.

Thank you to all the staff at The Westbourne for their hard work and a hearty welcome to our new team members. A special hello from myself, Kathryn Dee and Lisa Kerr as the new Home and Deputy Manager. 

Along with the cake, staff had a selection of chocolates, crisps, hand gels and hand creams as a treat for going above and beyond.

The day of love we enjoyed a love filled day with music from none other than Elvis Presley and one of our regular entertainers Sam Jones via a YouTube stream. Reminiscing some of our favourite love ballads, not forgetting a treat of our Valentine's cupcakes. 

Today at Bowerfield House we recognised Ash Wednesday, the first day of lent. As we were unable to attend Mass in person we watched in live online instead. Thank you to a local Church that kindly allowed us to have some ashes from their service today so that our residents could do their own ash cross on their foreheads themselves. 

Today at Manorhey we have thoroughly enjoyed an afternoon tea gathering with a spread of mini sandwiches, cakes and pastries and tea in china ware. Residents enjoyed the Alice In Wonderland theme.
