Christmas as we know, is the most festive season of the year and this competition allowed us to make it even more festive and special for our residents, getting involved not just our residents, but the staff and the members of our community.

As we celebrate National Cheese Lovers Day, we in Amber Court organised a wine and cheese tasting. Everyone enjoyed tasting the different types of cheese, crackers, dips, nuts, fruits and non-alcoholic wines. We also had fun socialising with each other while some staff is singing karaoke. What a great experience for everyone!

Last week our lovely residents enjoyed a bingo afternoon. We played for prizes/ for a line and then the full house, our residents were really in their element concentrating on the numbers making sure they didn’t miss one.

They then had a film afternoon and chose within the group what film they would like to watch, drinks and snack were served during the film.

We celebrated the arrival of January with a special New Year's Day tipple to toast in 2022. Here are some of the people living with us enjoying a glass of sherry to celebrate. Team Knights Court wishes everyone a happy and peaceful 2022.

It's International Flowers Day, in line with this we organised flower arrangement sessions for the residents and staff. Since flower arranging helps us to boost the mood and happiness, it also promotes socialization and it helps reduce stress and anxiety for everyone. This was participated by staff and residents. Look how beautiful our finished product is. Great job staff and residents! Will definitely do this again some other time.

Winnie the Pooh has been a childhood favourite for generations.

At Buckingham House we all enjoyed remembering Winnie the Pooh, along with his friends Kanga, Rabbit, Roo, Tigger and Eeyore and all of their wonderful adventures together in the Hundred Acre Wood.

We love any excuse to organise a party and make the residents enjoy themselves and we love to make sure they are having a good time here in our home. The first week of the month we remembered one of the most iconic figures from the 1950's, Elvis Presley, who born this very same month back in 1934. For that reason, we decided to celebrate a 1950's Party. The residents were involved in every single stage of the preparation of the party from the very beginning. They started letting their imagination run free and creating beautiful decorations that we later stuck on the walls.

The busy Christmas season may be a distant memory, but nothing slows down at Deepdene. Our days are busy with morning exercise and singalongs, visits to the hair salon and caring for our beautiful lovebirds.

It was International Flowers Day on 19th January, so we used our artistic flair to arrange this beautiful display.

We are ready for Winnie The Pooh Day. There is a choice of colouring in, a "can you name" quiz and some positive and happy quotes from the bear.
