In preparation for our Halloween Party and to celebrate National Pumpkin Day, our talented staffs and residents started doing the giant pumpkin carving. Amber Court’s Resident did the sketching, then the staff doing the carving after. It is a team effort after all. Everyone had fun and amazing time.

Residents and staff had a great time decorating our window in preparation for our Halloween party that we had on Friday. Residents really enjoyed our spooky celebrations.

Always a welcome addition to the day, our residents love Cheese and Biscuits.

When we announced that we will be having a Halloween party in Amber Court, our residents and staff were very excited for it. We started preparing for the event through organizing a small activity with the residents and staff by carving pumpkins and making decorations. To be more festive for Halloween, we started to decorate the home as scary as possible. We decided it would be more fun to use one of the decorations as a representation of one of our staff, our maintenance, George.

Our residents made homemade lemonade last week. We squeezed fresh lemons and mixed the juice with water ice and sugar. We all really enjoyed this and they felt hydrated and refreshed.

We had lots of memories whilst sampling food and drink from the Agean . It was a lovely afternoon enjoyed by all. 

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.
