Here at Abbey View we really like to get into the Halloween spirit. 

Look how we turned these into a little mummy doll. Joan, one of our residents, really enjoyed doing this with her fellow residents and staff.

The people living at The Hawthorns decorated small pumpkins with a selection of flowers for a beautiful centre piece. They thoroughly enjoyed picking the flowers and placing them in the selected place. It was a lovely morning with everyone encouraging each other’s work, giggling and smiling.

We have been decorating around the home and Deepdene is very lucky to have staff team members with many skills like Adrian helping to put these beautiful vases on the flowers shop.

As Halloween approaches we started to make some Halloween fun crafts, like these beautiful little bats and pumpkins filled with sweets for our residents to enjoy.

We had a lovely afternoon In Deepdene, enjoying an afternoon of a Halloween themed sing along with Helen .

The people loving at Woodlands have been busy creating various items to decorate our lounge for the harvest season and Halloween.  They have enjoyed using different techniques and textures and the results are fantastic.

Tea and Cake day went down a treat! We enjoyed some lovely cakes with a cup of tea in our best china tea service. There was also some mindful colouring and a tea quiz to find out how much we know about the origin of tea itself.

There was some fantastic artistic flair exhibited at The Hawthorns. People living at the home used watercolours and painted objects from their rooms, while others used charcoal to sketch buildings and structures. Superb work all round!!

To raise awareness for Breast Cancer Awareness Month recently, the residents decorated some beautiful cupcakes and made unique pink ribbon badges.
