This afternoon we had a fruit tasting activity, not all of our residents are able to enjoy solid fruits, however we had a delicious alternative with this mixed fruit syllabub. 

Today we enjoyed happy hour with our friends of the home, with music, wine and some favourite snacks. We had a little dance too, just what we needed for a Friday afternoon. 

Today at Manorhey we enjoyed a performance from one of our favourite entertainers. She had everyone dancing away the whole way through. She definitely brought a smile to our faces. 

Joan, Rosemary and Dorothy, our fab girls Sarah and Gina, the Bluebird entertainment sang for us to celebrate VE Day. The residents really enjoyed singing along with the English favourite songs. 

We had a lovely surprise today at Belmont House, our local charity Resurrected Bites dropped by with some beautiful flowers for our resident - such lovely colours, we will be doing some beautiful arrangements with the help of our residents for their rooms. Thank you so much from residents and staff at Belmont House.

The creativity and artistic talents of the people who live at Cedar Court continues to amaze us all. This person who created this beautiful piece lives with dementia. It's all part of the ongoing work at Cedar Court to support people living with dementia to express themselves through their love of art. 

Erika has recently qualified as a Care Practitioner, to celebrate we bought her a card and a present and presented it to her today. Erika is looking forward to continuing her career with Maria Mallaband and we are delighted she has achieved her goal. 

The residents enjoyed last Friday, a garden party to celebrate St George's Day. The garden was decorated with buntings and England flags and Samantha Jones, one of our regular singers, performed for the residents a selection of English greatest hits. Cold drinks and snacks were served meanwhile the residents enjoyed singing their favourite snacks.  

We are over the moon about our Easter competition win! Hope Green residents and staff not only had a great time over the Easter weekend celebrations but now also get the chance to celebrate again with a lovely prize of a Sharing Hamper and a certificate. We'll now be on the search for a frame for our certificate and choosing a special place to display it for everyone to see. Well done Hope Green. 

We held an international jazz day on Friday and played some great jazz music and indulged in producing art, whether it was jazz related or just paint from the heart in the ambiance of the music. One of our residents excelled and really enjoyed producing a piece that any artist would be proud of. Well done all those who took part.
