We did Bowerfield Olympics. We had a red and a blue team, residents and staff went against each other in a number of activities. Everyone had so much fun. We enjoyed a buffet party, and celebrated a number of birthdays including a staff member turning 21. 

The Residents enjoyed taking part in making autumn wreaths and decorations for the Home. 

We chatted about the colours of autumn, read poems about the season and traditions from around the world. 

Abingdon Court are celebrating after being rated Good in all areas during a recent CQC inspection.  As well as thanking the staff for their hard work we want to thank the residents, their friends and families and the local community who continue to support us.

People living at Croft House Care Home have had a busy month making poppy and pumpkin wreaths. They look fantastic and are displayed around the home. 

We started this with some of our residents at Croft House as just a creative session for the family visits to raise a bit of money for the Royal British Legion. It has taken off so well and we are close to raising £70 so far and still got orders coming, we all feel so proud. 

The residents at Allingham House enjoyed last week, doing different artistic activities where they let their imagination run free. They were creating new decoration for Halloween, using different materials like crayons or watercolour paints, the illustrations have been displayed in the reception area.

Here at Oakland's, we have also been busy finishing our Autumn wreaths and making poppies from felt to display for Remembrance Day. The residents have also been colouring in poppies for this display.  Some of the wreaths are already up on the wall of the dining room and being admired by all whilst eating their meals.

This month at Oakland's we have continued with our memory boxes. Each resident has a memory box with their photo on and they can fill the box with different things that make them happy, from their memories. This may be pictures of their favourite sweets, books or comics. Coloured in pictures of their favourite toys or places to visit when they were young.

Minster Grange enjoyed a Hollywood-themed party this week. Every partygoer was transformed into a movie star of their choice and enjoyed the red-carpet treatment with a glass (or two) of “bubbly”.
