Thank you to a residents daughter who brought us a thank you card and Betty's Biscuits. We really appreciate the kind gesture. 

For National Teddy Bear Day, as a home we decided to donate three brand new teddy bears to a local children's hospital. Before we could do this, we needed to give these wonderful bears a name!

It’s often the simple things in life that can create the most fun, especially when it also reminds us of happy memories from our childhood. This was the definitely the case at Knights Court when our activities team brought in some bubbles to entertain everyone living with us and we had a great afternoon engaging in this nostalgic and whimsical activity.
 

At Appletree Court, we’re always looking for new ideas to give people living with us small, personalised treats for their birthday

We found some empty boxes and decided to decorate them and fill them with a selection of favourite chocolates and biscuits.  As these little treat boxes have proved so popular with everyone, our residents are now making their own boxes to give as special gifts to their family and friends.

Our apple trees have really bloomed this year and so we decided to make Apple Cake and Apple Crumble

Today we celebrated ancillary day with our team at Ashfield Court . A lovely cake and fun afternoon for staff and our residents, plus a gift from MMCG.

We had a huge celebration here at Clarendon Court, our resident Florence Hynes was 100 years old. Florence had a celebration outside on the patio with family and friends with lots of cake and a buffet. A very special day for a very special lady.

Our Cowboy Party at Allingham House was a brilliant day for both staff and residents. The barbecue was great and the kitchen staff were amazing!! Staff and residents enjoyed, burgers, sausages and salad, drinks were also provided. Our team also came in fancy dress just to make it a bit more special, yeeha!

The residents were delighted to do the lavender harvesting in the garden, while they were sharing happy memories and reminiscing. They enjoyed the smell, the colour, and the the tactile of the plants, a completely sensory stimulation experience!

In our art class we have residents who really excel, Joseph wanted to continue the jungle theme and came up with this elephant and tiger, which we all agree, he did an excellent job. Now thinking of his next subject, watch this space.
