In response to our residents wishes, our care home embarked on a remarkable journey to the seaside. With the full support of our dedicated team, we made it happen! 🌟

Despite the travel time of over an hour, the joy and happiness on our residents' faces made every minute worth it. This seaside adventure not only brought smiles but also had a significant impact on their overall wellbeing. 🏖️❤️

Peter from Lace Hill Manor has had a love for gliders since he was 15, so recently we organised to take him out to Bicester Motorglide. 

With the help of Lee from Motorglide, Peter had a lovely afternoon. He could name the gliders and tell us all about them, and he took his photo album and went through it with Lee and Paul, they were happy to listen to Peters story’s about how many flight hours he has done and the height he used to get to.

The Abingdon Athletes were eager to compete at our Just Bowl tournament!

We were welcomed by one of our sister homes Lace Hill Manor Care Home, who provided us with an American style feast along with fantastic hospitality!

We competed against several MMCG homes who also came with a competitive spirit.

As the day progressed beautiful friendships were formed as we all began cheering on the opposition. Although the Abingdon Athletes came in last place our mood was that of winners 🏅 and we cannot wait to compete again! 😁

Since the start of the year, we have been conducting well-being sessions with TTF Well-Being for our residents.  Sessions include a variety of activities from chair yoga, fitness, meditation and breathwork which have all been a remarkable success.

“At Highfield Care Home, our residents’ well-being is at the forefront of our minds,” said Aaron Barham, the care home’s manager.  “Our partnership with TTF Well-Being allows us to provide our residents with unique and beneficial well-being sessions that have been extremely well-received.”

Woodland care home had their very own pop up shop in the comfort of their own home this week.

Birdies Boutique came in and set up shop for the people living with us. Everyone thought it was lovely and they all bought some clothes, from pyjamas to trousers, tops , jumpers and socks, they all said it was lovely to spend some money.

The people living with us enjoyed a fantastic tea party to celebrate The King's Coronation. 

We had a buffet and had a drink of Baileys and Buck Fizz to celebrate the day. The people living with us had a good sing song and said that they had a lovely time. They asked if we could do this every week! 

The people living with us were also given a present to celebrate The Coronation. 

To celebrate The King's Coronation over the weekend, we had a three day event. 

We had a buffet on the Saturday, a big party all day on the Sunday and a Royal party on the Monday. We had live music, a raffle, a BBQ and lots of cake. We also had our own Gold Carriage to take photos in. As well, our Woodland Mascot came to visit and we raised some money for charity.
