This is a picture of our monthly donation from Margaret Bradie community champion at Asda Falkirk. Margaret has been making monthly donations to the home for over 7 months now. Every month is different. This month we have asked for sketch pads and pencils for our new art class. We have long standing connections with Asda but they have been amazing through this pandemic. Sweets and toiletries are always welcome at Thorntree. 

Residents really enjoyed our pizza making session today. Our residents made the pizza dough from scratch and chose their individual favourite toppings to complete the pizzas. Lots of chats and smiles. 

The theme for February is 'Peace and Love' as we celebrate the hippy era. A fun atmosphere, as staff join in celebrating peace and love! Enjoyed by all our residents!

We have expanded our regular treat trolley to include more exotic fruits. Residents have a variety of options so they are in control of what the choose dependant on how they feel on the day and may be tempted to try something new.

The activities team kick started 2021 with the return of the virtual armchair cruise. An amazing all in one activity. Our most recent travel was to Greece where the activities team went that extra mile and dressed the part to provide the residents with the ultimate experience. The residents absolutely loved the decorations, food, dancing, music and outfits along with ancient Greek crowns they were gifted with.

Valentines Day is almost upon us and our residents have been busy making memories and hearts! 

Inspired by Sir Captain Tom Moore, memory boards have been lovingly made by residents and staff at Wyndham Hall, God Bless and Good Night Captain Tom.

Residents made their own Chinese hats and the Dragon came to call. Followed up with a Chinese banquet of Spring Rolls and Sweet and Sour Chicken. 

Residents and Staff at Kents Hill Care Home are very grateful to the local Tesco at Kingston; Milton Keynes for their deliveries.  Helen; the community champion delivers 3 boxes of goodies on a weekly basis to Kents Hill for everyone to enjoy, bringing a smile to many faces as she arrives.  THANK YOU KINGSTON TESCO! 

This activity is about Valentine’s day, sunshine and being creative. Each resident has been given hearts to decorate in their own way. They created colours and sunshine with these hearts and where so happy when they saw them on the windows and how beautiful they looked when the sun shone through them. They really enjoyed seeing the end result and it was lovely to see their faces when the sunshine came through the window.
