Music always brings Joy to our residents and we have always loved using our record player for some our favourite oldies especially Elvis Presley but we decided to add to our music collection and our new technology friend 'Alexa' arrived this week. Our residents have been singing along with their favourite Bands and Musicians and even asking Alexa to play some of their requests. Our Alexa is a great addition not only for music but for Audiobooks, podcasts and relaxation sounds.

Clarendon Court are all ready to welcome our local community for carols, minced pies, mulled wine or hot chocolate in support of the Stapeley Christmas Lights Walking Trail. Chilly night so we'll all be wrapped up warm.

On Tuesday residents enjoyed a craft afternoon making decorations to display within the home.

On a crisp November day, we were really fortunate to welcome The Moving On Choir to River View.

While the choir sang beautifully, the people living with us and their guests joined along in the singing, which was a really heart warming experience for us all.

Warmly wrapped up with layers of coats and blankets, we all welcomed and appreciated the cakes, mulled wine and hot chocolate that was served afterwards.

We are all looking forward to the Christmas Carols event now more than ever.

Buckingham House is ready for the Festivities to start. Everyone who lives with us are extremely busy creating beautiful Christmas Tree Decorations to place on our Christmas Trees.

The residents of Clarendon Court have been busily decorating their own baubles to hang on our outdoor tree. Nearly ready now to join in with the Stapeley Christmas Lights Walking Trail.

We had a great reminiscing talk today. The residents were shown some photos of appliances from the past and were asked to identify them. Some were easier than others and after some deliberation they managed to answer them all correctly. How many can you guess correctly?

Everyone in Amber Court is very excited for Christmas day, that’s why we made a beautiful wreath which was decorated by our lovely residents and staff. Look how lovely it is!

Clarendon Court are busily preparing for an outdoor Carol Concert to support the launch of the Stapeley Christmas Lights Walking Trail in support of local charities. We look forward to welcoming friends and families to join us for carols, mulled wine and mince pies on November the 25th at 6p.m.

Christmas is getting closer and so during choir practice, we thought it would be a good idea to start practising Christmas Songs. The residents picked their favourites and we all sang, danced and clapped together. This was so much fun all round!
