We were all deeply saddened at the home to hear of the loss of Her Majesty the Queen and wanted to do something to pay our respects.  We have been painting autumn leaves in red, white and blue so that we can make a wreath to lay in respect of our late queen on Monday.

Everyone at the home wanted an opportunity to celebrate the recent CQC inspection where the home acquired a good score.
The home was decorated with an Hawaiian theme, staff and residents enjoyed a party with a BBQ, Music and games.  It was a lovely afternoon for all.
 

We love an opportunity in the home to celebrate a national food or drink day and today is Chocolate milkshake day so we must have chocolate milkshake... so yummy. Everyone really enjoyed them.

Keeping up to date with the latest in the news and current affairs is really important to people living with us.  Everyone was keen to make a guess on who would be our new Prime Minister.  We all got together to watch the announcement.

It was National Hot Dog day on Saturday so our residents very much enjoyed a hot dog supper.  The people living with us got to choose their perfect hot dog topping too, onions, mustard, tomato ketchup or a mixture of all three.
 

Residents have enjoyed making Victorian peg dolls. There wasn't a sound during this activity; they were all totally engaged. They were so pleased with the results and so proud of their dolls.  A lot of the residents remember making peg dolls when they were little with their mums and grandmas. 
 

The feedback from the people living with us and their friends and family members is important, and we wanted to give them opportunity to create their own autumn/winter menu. There was a selection of ideas from our head chef, Daniel to get residents and family members inspired to talk about what they do and don’t like.  He created a mixture of flavours and ideas to share with the group who attended who all really enjoyed the food on offer.

We are thrilled to be able to show the community our recent CQC Good score from our recent inspection on our new banner outside of the home.

Water painting went down a treat this week, everyone gave it a go and was quite taken aback what beautiful pictures were created without having to even use paint. It was such a therapeutic activity that was enjoyed by all.

We are pleased to announce that Minister Tim Edworthy will be holding church services in our home on the 1st Sunday of each month starting in September. He will be joined by friends of the community and provides our residents the opportunity to attend service in their own home, which will hold hymns, prayers and refreshments. Thank you to Tim and his wonderful Team and we look forward to seeing you next weekend
