Residents and staff enjoyed photos in front of the backdrop. In this photo we had 3 bubble machines throwing out bubbles in between the residents. Chef Joey created this fabulous fruit display. 

A local radio society celebrated 100 years and took the time to remember members who have contributed to their work in the past. One of our residents was bowled over when they received a parcel in the post which included badges, key rings, hats and celebratory literature. As you can see from the smiles in the photo it was very much appreciated and great to feel part of the local community.

Residents were over the moon to have some live entertainment back, even though it was a garden concert residents enjoyed themselves immensely by singing, dancing and clapping along. They enjoyed one of their favourite singers sing some of their classic songs, from Dean Martin to Frank Sinatra.

In May at Manorhey we celebrated the 76th anniversary of VE Day. We started our day off by decorating our home with flags and balloons which was followed by a VE Day special concert and then we finished our celebrations with a good old afternoon tea with a selection of sandwiches, cream cakes and sweet and savoury pastries.

There’s nothing like tea and cake to bring people together. Knights Court proudly hosted Cupcake Day on Wednesday 23rd June 2021 for Alzheimer’s Society raising vital funds totalling £150 in the process to support people affected by dementia.

The weather was absolutely beautiful and the turnout exceptional. We had a delicious selection of cupcakes, cake & scrumptious chocolate chip muffins and tea and coffee to wash down all those delectable treats! 

Our garden theme continues at Hope Green and although the weather has gone much cooler outside we're still able to enjoy garden conversations and crafts together indoors whilst watching the birds visit our bird feeders by the window. It was great to get together and discuss our favourite gardens, complete crafts of birds and appreciate the stories of others. We used petals and buttons in our crafting too which was a great success and got our fingers moving and brains engaged in creativity.

Our residents at The Westbourne have been making the most of the good weather enjoying trips out. Including drives in the beautiful countryside.

One Resident went to Costa and enjoyed a cappuccino and a slice of carrot cake.

Another lady enjoyed a trip to the shops to help choose decorations and supplies for our party, it was good to be out.

Here at The Westbourne we celebrated Royal Ascot, firstly we all picked a horse for the 2:30pm race. All our lovely ladies wore hats that were kindly loaned to us by Lorraine at Tempting Hat Hire in Smallwood. We watched the race and cheered the horses on in style with prosecco and cupcakes. A good time was had by all. 

Sylvia is brilliant at puzzles and jigsaws, today she beat the activity staff at a game of floor dominoes three times in a row. 

Hope Green celebrated June together with a gathering of flowers from the garden and good conversations with the gardeners who did a fantastic job. It was wonderful to walk together, pick flowers, identify as many of them as we could, and decorate our dining room tables with lovely posies. What a great way of spending time together. We showed so much creativity and will definitely be doing this again soon.
