We had a fabulous afternoon singing and dancing to the Musical Memories who entertained us from outside the home in May. There was lots of singing and dancing and everyone had a thoroughly wonderful time. 

We received a very kind donation from Poundland in Catterick for staff and residents when we were shopping in May. We can't thank you enough for thinking of us and for all your support during the pandemic. We will be sure to enjoy all our treats with a cuppa in the home. 

We had a lovely morning planting some seeds for our raised bed project here at Rosedale. We bought some flowers and vegetable seeds and potted them into little pots to be transferred into the flower beds once they start to grown. We can't wait to show you them when you visit. 

Summer is fast approaching and we love having our fantastic gardens here at Garden Hill Care Home. We had a few lovely days in May so took the opportunity to get out in the sun and enjoy tea and cake. 

We had a lovely morning on May the 5th hosting "Time For A Cuppa". Our staff and residents held a fundraiser for Dementia UK, to ensure more families effected by dementia can receive the help and support from Admiral Nurses. We have personally felt the effects of the pandemic ourselves, and we would like to show our support to others that are suffering too. We had lots of gorgeous cake donated to the home and the residents thoroughly enjoyed the coffee morning. 

For VE Day in The Lodge, we have been making a display to commemorate all of the soldiers coming home to their families. Today we have had a coffee morning while we reminisced on photo's of street parties, Winston Churchill, newspaper clippings and soldiers being merry. We sang some songs from that era including songs from Vera Lynn and George Formby amongst many others and enjoyed a quiz.

The residents at The Westbourne celebrated VE Day listening and singing along told old time war songs such as we'll meet again and white cliffs of Dover. Everyone had flags to wave. Some residents had flags or stripes painted on their faces to mark the occasion. Our chef baked us a cake and we decorated it with raspberries and blueberries. Everyone enjoyed a buffet tea to celebrate. A good day had by all. 

A big Happy International Nurses Day from us all at Croft House. To celebrate our nurses at Croft house the Home Manager, Martin, made the most delicious cake and in the colours of the Romanian Flag as all three of our nurses are from Romania. 

White Rose Lodge would like to say a huge thank you to Reverend Maxine and The Priory for their lovely donation of handmade goods and cream eggs for our residents here. The residents are very thankful and love hearing from Reverend Maxine. The generous gifts have been loved by all, thank you. 

Everyone at White Rose Lodge would like to say a huge thank you to Tesco for their generous donation of hand sanitiser. It will be a great help for us in preventing the spread of coronavirus and keeping Covid at bay.
