We celebrated Diwali at the home in November and our wonderful cook Kuljit made us homemade samosa’s to enjoy with our meal.  The residents thoroughly enjoyed the food and the history of Diwali.

Today was NAPA Parfait day. Parfait is a type of food that is eaten as a dessert. Parfaits are typically made of several layers of a few basic ingredients, like yogurt, fruit, and granola. We chose apple and yogurt with a biscuit crunch for our Parfait.

We had as much fun creating them as we did eating them.

We enjoyed our Oomph get fit class cricket style in November, we turned the lounge into our very own cricket pitch. We had our very own batters, fielding team and bowlers. Thanks to NAPA we had a very good cricket quiz. All good fun, here at the Moors care centre!

The staff at The Moors Care Centre brought bits from home, their husbands medals and army boots to create a Remembrance display for visitors and residents to the home.

The dementia bus came to Minster Grange in November, staff relatives and visiting professionals enjoyed the experience. The feedback has been phenomenal and we are currently working on how we can implement new learnings into our home.

Christmas is coming to Minster Grange. Our residents and staff are so excited to be getting into the festive spirit. We have trees on each unit at the home and the residents have enjoyed helping to put them up in the lounges.

As part of resident dining experience we asked our residents what they would like to have as part of their dining experience and they chose a Christmas theme.

Our wonderful residents have spent all afternoon decorating the table, they have chosen what decorations they would like and then gave our activity lady Nadine a list of items they would like purchased to make the table centre pieces.

They designed and decorated the table themselves with support from the team at Manor Park and we think they have done an amazing job.

Here at Manor Park Care Home we are doing a reverse advent calendar in December. Everyday of advent items can be added to the box and then on Christmas this will be given to a local homeless charity at Trinity Methodist Church.

Corinthian House Remembers....  Our fallen soldiers on the battlefield, the men who returned to their loved ones and the women folk left at home or working in the factories.  Corinthian House always celebrates Remembrance Day, and this year was no different. 

Our residents enjoyed archery lessons in November. We had a lovely morning learning a new skill and many laughs as the arrows just didn't go as planned and pinged around the room miles away from the target.
