It's always nice to go out for a drink at the seaside in Donaghadee and watch the horses playing in the water. Cheers from Abbey View!

Lovely surprise to all our Carers here at Abbey View, a wee party with a special cake, ice cream and gifts to show them how much they are appreciated.

As Winter is drawing closer we know that there won’t be as much colour in the garden.  To be prepared we used our  ‘Gardening Fun’ session to paint stones this week to put in the garden and add some colour for us all to enjoy.

As part of the “National Arts in Care Homes’ day, we took advantage of the beautiful early Autumn weather and took out art outside.  One person who lives at Woodland decided to take a walk around the garden for inspiration and then drew what she saw.

Later this month a circus entertainer will visit Woodlands and in preparation for this we have been creating different elements to make a circus tent display. We have used different textures to do this including puffy paint, glitter and tissue paper. 

The Belvedere enjoyed celebrating our Annual Care Awards last month. We filled our lounge with our wonderful residents and staff to watch the ceremony which celebrated all of MMCG's amazing staff within the company. We enjoyed a buffet with lots of cake and non alcoholic fizz which went down a treat especially with our residents. Were all very proud of our fellow colleagues and send a huge congratulations to all that were nominated and who won.

It has been fantastic and a pleasure to have been able to invite two of our regular entertainers to Birch Heath Lodge last month. Music has such a positive impact on everyone at the home and the events always leave us wanting more.

To celebrate World Egg Day, here at Ashfield Court we decided to decorate our eggs. Here are our final results.  

We celebrated World Egg Day last week at Amber Court. Our kitchen prepared various egg dishes for our residents to choose and enjoy for their breakfast. Yummy!

Before our cake shop will open, one of our residents helped us to advertise our cake shop by posting ang giving flyers to our neighbour's houses. Roy enjoyed being out in the good sunny weather.
