Gardening day at Clarendon, today we have planted sunflower seeds in pots, we will then plant them in the garden when they have taken. A very productive day. 

Music and games in the garden. It was a beautiful day, the sun shining bright and a very enjoyable game of card bingo! Kate, Terry and Mary laughed the whole afternoon. Harry in the meantime had a little visitor come to see him whilst he was reading his daily newspaper. This made us all smile. How being out in the garden has lifted all our spirits. 

Good hand eye coordination is a skill not everyone is blessed with, but at Parkview there are plenty of people who do. Very impressive ladies. 

Over the last year, our local Morrisons supermarket has been extremely supportive of Parkview House. This was a chance for us to give a little love back in the form of an Easter basket for the staff. Andre Hebron - Morrisons Community Champion received the basket on behalf of his colleagues. Thank you for all your support.  

Easter at Kents Hill Care Home was celebrated by a visit from the Easter Bunny and of course chocolate for all! 

We had a lovely afternoon in Granby this week playing a variety of board games!

It encourages socialisation between staff and residents, as well as between residents who may not know each other very well.

We had great fun and have lots more new games to try over the next few weeks! 

This week we finished off our personality tree that is now being displayed in the memory Cafe in Rutland! Residents and staff worked together to create this bright and colourful display! Each leaf represents a different person, and while some don't have writing on, they still show off individual personality and creativity! It looks fantastic and I'm so proud of everyone who took part! 

We have great plans for our garden this spring at The Moors! The residents had great fun creating this dream board of what we would like in our garden and then getting stuck in! We've been clearing and re-potting, planting and weeding. It's been lovely to get back outside and get our gardening gloves dirty!

The Moors was overrun by Leprechauns this St Patrick's Day! The residents had great fun dressing up and Leprechaun hunting in the garden - as well as having a laugh at our staff members all dressed up and doing special St Patrick's Day word searches and crosswords. 

With some many incredible mums here at The Moors, Mothers Day was filled with fun, laughter and lots of presents of course! The kitchen made a beautiful mothers day lunch and the staff made sure that all the ladies, be they mothers, aunties or mother figures all had a fantastic day.
