February is a season of love, especially on 14th of February. We celebrated this day by having a lovely full course dinner prepared by our kitchen chef and also a nice table setup made by our staff and residents. We invited some of our resident’s spouses to have a diner date with their love ones. Jimmy, one of our residents, and Christine (Jimmy’s wife) have been happily married for 47 years. Also, we had Christine(resident) and Stuart (Christine’s husband) they’ve been together for 64 lovely years. This is a memorable day for them specially on their situations.

We celebrated Valentines Day with a delicious selection of cakes for afternoon tea, served in our best China Cups here at Troutbeck.

We had fun making decorations and trimming up our bar area, we made a Tree of love and asked staff and residents to write a message to hang on the tree. We read about St Valentine, read Poetry and sang our favourite love songs. The day was enjoyed by all our residents and staff.

Here at Troutbeck our residents and staff participated in writing some words of advice for Valentine's Day along with some messages for those within the home.

Yesterday we potted a scented rose bush, our residents are really excited to see this grow.

Here at The Hawthorns our residents made valentines cards, this activity was thoroughly enjoyed by those who took part.

Staff at Windmill Court were overwhelmed by a special Staff Appreciate Day organised by the people living with us here in St Minver. Each staff member was presented with a card which had a packet of sweet peas attached, along with a lovely thank you note .

Our residents also attached lots of different works to describe the staff which included; understanding, kind, caring, patient, thoughtful, safe , cheerful and fun. Michael Fox wrote a wonderful speech and delivered this at the presentation on behalf of all of the residents living with us.

For Chinese New staff and residents made their own Chinese zodiac badges to celebrate the year of the Tiger. We laughed and had fun discussing the different traits and if they suited any of our personalities. 

After being closed for such a long period our residents this week enjoyed a concert by one of our regular performers Sam Jones. Sam sang favourite jams requested from residents as they boogied along. We can surely say the residents have thoroughly enjoyed this magical musical moment.

Love was in the air at Manorhey as residents made beautiful cards for their loved ones for Valentines Day. We all got very creative as everyone made their own cards personalised.

We were finally able to welcome in the wonderful Tickled Pink Productions to perform their version of Cinderella. It was an absolute hoot, keeping all who were watching engaged. Filled with classic songs which were sang along to, and full of jokes which left us all belly laughing, is really was full of joy (Oh yes it was!!!).
