Our residents enjoyed a game of scrabble. We have some very good players, the highest score on our last game was 144. We also enjoy arts and crafts, displaying our works along the corridors. Presently we are doing a display called 'Heidi', we are reading this book together weekly in the lounge. 

Dominoes is a suitable game the elderly and adults with learning disabilities can play and thoroughly enjoy. Dominoes can also be used for simple matching and sorting activities for people with dementia and Alzheimer’s and is a great way to boost ones working memory. It can also provide smooth tactile input and are visually stimulating. 

Gwen won the most games on Monday, she really enjoyed playing. Dorothy won today for the most won games. All winners are recorded and at the end of the month prizes are given out, all residents love this. 

We had a great St Patrick's Day here at Clarendon Court, highlight was a special Irish karaoke, some good voices amongst us. 

A very busy Good Friday party, lots of different activities on hand from bunny racing to eggstafactor singing to making Easter bonnets. What a great Easter we had this year. 

Work has begun on the herb and vegetable patch for Princess Lodge. It's still early days but there is plenty of potting and planting happening. Tomatoes, courgettes, and cucumber are the first selection of vegetables to be planted with more to come. 

This week we had a go at making muffins! To make it a little easier we used these 'ready to go' mixes in a bottle and just added the butter, egg and milk. Our lovely chef then baked them for us. Unfortunately the end results didn't last long enough to get pictures of... 

The residents enjoyed their Easter eggs and all their table decorations, over the weekend they had entertainment on the TV from our lovely singer Kerry. 

A big thank you from the team at Hope Green for the lovely Easter treats to say thank you for looking after their loved ones. These treats were thoroughly enjoyed by the team whilst on shift over the Easter weekend! 

We had a big Easter Egg hunt around the garden, it was a beautiful day and it held out which we were thrilled about. All the eggs were found and enjoyed in the sun, it was a successful hunt.
