We made Halloween lanterns and the residents loved the noses lighting up!

The residents love our Halloween wall. They enjoy looking at and talking about the Halloween images from around the world.

Many of our residents here at Cavendish Court have missed the little joys in life during the past several months, where even the option to go for a drink at the local pub had become a distant memory. The team at Cavendish therefore decided to bring the pub to them, the residents enjoyed a couple of Shandy's and G&T's whilst socialising with others, playing darts, golf and even re-watching the 1966 World Cup final. 

We have been continuing our Bowerfield Olympics theme and there have been more competitions throughout the week. We had a cake decorating competition, a ball throwing competition, a ring toss competition and much more! Team Red is currently winning against team blue by 1 point. We will see who comes out on top at our party this Friday when we have staff involved in the fun and games as well. 

Our residents at Heeley Bank, as always, really enjoyed the flower arranging session. They created beautiful bouquets which we have displayed on the dining room tables. 

At Heeley Bank our residents and staff baked their heart out and had a lovely time at the Macmillan coffee morning. 

At Heeley Bank our residents made their own home made pizzas which everyone really enjoyed. 

This week we have been playing games, the winners were given silly hats to wear all day. Here are some of the winners and their lucky prizes. 

The district nurses came to Howgate today to give our residents their annual Flu vaccinations, they said it was a lovely home and thanked the staff for all their help. 

Residents at The Westbourne continue to enjoy the theme of Italy with an array of Italian food to sample. The chef served a taste of Italy in true style in the dining room and was happy to lend his Italian chef hat to diners for the day. A great celebration of Italian food. 

Throughout the month we have had Olympic activities. Our home has been split into 2 teams, a red team and a blue team. All staff on shift tomorrow for the party have been told which team they will be competing on and are going to be dressed up in their team colours. Throughout the month residents have been competing in various competitions to earn points for their team. Some examples of the competition include bowling, games, darts, cake decorating, ball throwing, ring toss, trivia and bingo.
