All the residents had lots of fun celebrating Red Nose Day, it was a busy day. There was pompom making from the crafty amongst us whilst other baked cakes. There was something for everyone with plenty of Red Nose themed activities through the day. 

Here at Belvoir Vale Care Homes, we had a beautiful sunny Thursday and took advantage of the sunshine by taking our reading group outside. We enjoyed listening to one of our residents reading out loud for us all to hear. There was much group discussion afterwards over a cup of coffee. We could even hear the ducks and ducklings who seemed to be replying to our residents reading from over the hedge.

Our residents enjoying being outside in the beautiful weather with the duo Ian and Al singing some of our favourite songs for us. We all enjoyed getting out in the fresh air, celebrating the lovely weather with a sherry and donuts.  

With the weather warming and daffodils blooming, spring is definitely on its way. At Buckingham House we have a number of residents who are very adept at creating fresh flower centre pieces for the restaurant and who could resist daffodils? Such joyful flowers, guaranteed to put a smile on everyone's faces.   

Today we had an unexpected visit from Red Arrows flying over Buckingham House. They are always an amazing sight and never fail to generate excitement. We were all delighted and this prompted lots of chats and reminiscing about the past long after they had roared overhead.  

Our Under the Sea theme week was extended by a couple of extra days as we had to postpone our singer last week. However, we finished on a high note with beautiful sunshine for our singer Paul Martin. Some residents were very happy to have their faces painted, others were happy to sport fishy stickers. Sadly 3 members of the staff were eaten by the shark.  

After a game of bingo, Arnold celebrates as he won a bag of marshmallows, which he then kindly asked to be shared with all the residents. I think, hot chocolate and marshmallows in the making. 

At Cedar Court our residents are getting ready to wear their Easter Bonnets. They did such an excellent job we thought we should share it with you all. All the bonnets are on display in our reception until Easter, it makes us feel joyful just looking at them. Spring is in the air!

Happy Easter from all at Cedar Court Care Home.  

This week leading up to Easter the Knights Court Activities team got out all things eggy, fluffy, furry & orange for our Easter Arts and Crafts workshop!

Our residents were inspired and produced some amazing, creative Easter artwork which they would like to gift to family members this Easter. Here are some of the creations they made during our Easter Arts & Crafts workshop

Our cinema room has been completely transformed into a magical under the sea kingdom, with various schools of fish, jellyfish, seahorses, sunken treasure guarded by Pirate Pete and a very friendly, if not very startled looking octopus.
