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.

The Christmas cake competition has begun!

Right across our 3 floors, residents have been battling it out to bake the best festive cake.

Everyone has been very competitive and took it in turns to soak the cake with spirits. Decoration of the cake will start at the end of November and the winning floor will be announced on the 1st of December.

The residents enjoyed the celebrations of Chocolate Day with a Chocolate Tasting. It was the perfect opportunity to enjoy their favourite chocolates with a cup of tea or coffee and reminiscing with other residents and staff about the memories that the different flavours bring them back. Definitely the Sweetest way of Reminiscing.

Amber Court team had a great idea to turn our Oscar Awards Statue into scary mummy. We used tissue rolls to cover and draw some bloods in it. Look how amazing and scary it is. Our residents and staff in Amber Court can’t wait for our Halloween Party!

An afternoon of apple cider and apple pie in celebration of World Apple Day here at Ashfield!
