Making these were great fun and we created a lot of mess. So cheap and simple to do. We purchased magnetic strips from a local craft shop. These make lovely gifts which we will be gifting to family and friends.

Congratulations to our Super Nurse – Alina, who was presented with a gift card and some of her favourite flowers in recognition of her nomination as a finalist in the category of Nurse of the Year at this year’s MMCG Care Awards.  Well done Alina, we are all so proud of you and the recognition of your continued care, commitment and dedication to everyone living with us at Kents Hill.

What a lovely relaxing afternoon our residents had creating such wonderful pictures.

It may be raining outside, but the sun is always shining in Buckingham House.

We decided to try something a little different for our arts and craft day. We took to the gardens and began searching for some pebbles and small rocks to decorate. We had so many inspired designs and the residents have decided to sell their creations at our upcoming winter fete.

We enjoyed an afternoon of pizza making in preparation for our take away and film night.

There were a huge selection of toppings and we discovered some budding chefs amongst us! Its fair to say they were all delicious.

Recently we were head over heels, as we witnessed something really quite special here at the grounds of Abingdon Court.



The continuity of lifestyle needs of those who live here is of the utmost importance to us. So, when faced with the devastating obstacle that a gentleman who lives here might not be able to attend the wedding of his daughter, we knew that an alternate arrangement had to be made.

Cavendish Court held their very own awards ceremony celebrating the staff and residents, they also had a lovely buffet which everyone enjoyed.

An afternoon of apple cider and apple pie in celebration of world apple day!

Residents enjoyed a sensory 'light' show Tuesday morning. All of our residents participated changing the colours. 

We couldn’t believe the beautiful weather on the day of our fantastic coffee morning to support and raise funds for Macmillan.  We invited family and friends to join us in the gardens. For sale were the fabulous tie-dye T-shirts, pressed flower art work and decorated photo frames all created by the people living at the Hawthorns. Everyone enjoyed the tea and cakes and a brilliant performance from our favourite singer. We raised an amazing £276!!!  Thank you to everyone who supported us and Macmillan.
