Heeley Bank started Bonfire Week with a BANG! Making our very own "Penny 4 Guy".  We had such fun building our Guy and took it around the home so that everyone could see the Heeley Bank Guy.

We had a lovely Halloween at Ashfield Court.  We decorated the home and Chef made some spooky cup cakes for us to enjoy.  From us all at Ashfield Court we would like to wish you a very happy Halloween.

This month at The Moors we’ve been enjoying the crisp autumn weather and trying to get out as much as we can before the winter frost sets in. The residents have been sharing interesting thoughts about the changing seasons with Evelyn pointing out the trees that are changing colour and Margaret said that the grass felt springy underneath her feet.

We’ve had lots of big birthdays at The Moors this month! We enjoyed lots of cake and balloons with good music and good company. Shirley, Sheila and Maureen celebrated their birthdays with lots of cards and presents from family, friends and staff, while Bill and John both celebrated their 99th birthdays with big parties full of laughter.

The residents from each floor at Allingham House got involved in a national baking competition organized by McVities Biscuits Company. The residents baked biscuits from scratch and whilst they biscuits were in the oven, we organized a coffee morning where the residents were reminiscing about the kind of cakes and biscuits that they used to bake. The most popular were fruit cakes. Once the biscuits were ready the residents decorated them with different kinds of edible sparkles, which they really enjoyed.

We had very busy week getting everything ready to celebrate Halloween, at Allingham House. Our residents enjoyed carving pumpkins and doing flower arrangements to decorate them. We started celebrating Halloween with Trick or Treat in the morning and carried on with a fancy dress competition where the staff wore their spookiest outfits. All our residents enjoyed and Afternoon Halloween Tea with the kitchen provided sandwiches and fresh scones and our admin staff baked delicious, spooky cupcakes that were served with teas, coffees and fizzy drinks.

Craft day this October for our lovely residents at Croft House Care Home and we made these beauties, they look amazing in the dark.

Turns out, pumpkin carving can be quite hard work! So the residents did the seeds, then let Della do all the hard work before they got creative
