Bowerfield House and Bowerfield Court had a fantastic day out at Chester Zoo. The coach set of at 10am and returned home at 5.15pm. We enjoyed a fun full day at Chester Zoo, we walked round the zoo looking at all the animals, our favourites were the tigers, lions and elephants. Jenny and Joan had their faces painted as beautiful butterflies.

Congratulations to our Lead Activity Co-ordinator Raj Sheth who has reached the finals at this year’s MMCG Care Awards in the Most Innovative Activities Programme category.

Raj being nominated and successfully reaching the finals is a wonderful way to highlight her continued dedication and commitment to her role. Good luck Raj and here’s hoping you bag the award.

Team Knights Court all the way!

This weekend, the people living with us at Wyndham Hall celebrated Oktoberfest by making Alpine hats and listening and dancing to some traditional Oktoberfest music.

Our residents then had a taster session, trying some German pretzels and non-alcoholic beer.

On September 7th 1940, many remember the beginning of the Blitz during the Second World War.

On this day today, we sat together and shared stories of our own and of those we had heard from family and friends. We remembered those who were prominent during those times and reminisced on the experiences we had growing up and watching these events occur.

Residents and staff from Belmont House enjoyed a lovely afternoon walk around Belmont Park. 

For the next destination in our International Food Day Journey, the Romanian national flag was flying high at Ashmead. Delicious national food was prepared and enjoyed. The event was preceded by a Relatives Meeting and all who attended were invited to join their loved ones for the event. Several Romanian members of staff from within the home assisted the kitchen staff in preparing the food. A true team effort from all  made for a most enjoyable day.

The Wharf Care Home proudly supporting the Forget-Me-Not Garden 21st - 29th August at Brinton Park.  The lovely people at KEMP Hospice based in The Wyre Forest put together incredible collection of uniquely handcrafted Forget-Me-Not Flowers which were available for members of the public to secure a flower in memory of a loved one. Volunteers from The Wharf got stuck in putting the installation together and were thrilled to be able to support such a wonderful event.
