One of our residents grand -daughter’s got married and she didn't want her Nanna to miss seeing her in her gorgeous wedding dress so organised a pit stop at the home.  Emma was thrilled to see Katie in her wedding dress it was lovely.

Happy birthday to the three M's of Rosedale.  Michelle, Mercy and Maya who celebrated their birthdays together in September.  We hope you had a wonderful day ladies.

September was a month we did a lot of home baking, the weather has started to change a little making getting out into our private grounds a little more difficult so instead we made butterfly cakes, buns and bread sticks over the course of the month which we thoroughly enjoyed.

We think we did a great job of the cakes.  

We were delighted to receive a visit from Banana Moon nursery in September.  One of the staff from the nursery came to Rosedale with some gift and cards whcih  the mini moonies and nursery children had made for us.  They went down a storm when we brought them into the home and shared them around all of the units.  Thank you so much.

Monread Lodge Care Home have been giving out goodie bags to our very hard-working Paramedics.

They were very well received and much appreciated.  

River View Care Home in Tilehurst recently hosted a "Come Dine with Me" themed day to celebrate equality and diversity. The special world tasting menu included dishes from Mexico, the Caribbean, Poland and Lebanon cooked by our in-house Head Chef Antonio Carvalho. 

Everyone living in the home really enjoyed tasting the food and were delighted to be served by staff members who were dressed in outfits and colours representing their heritage. The teamwork and enthusiasm shown by staff really contributed to a fantastic day enjoyed by all.
