The Wharf Care Home are donators for this year’s Kemp The Wyre Forest Hospice Butterfly Release! 🦋

Over the past two years, their home has consistently donated to the charity to support patients, families, and carers who have experienced life-limiting illness or bereavement, and they are excited to be sponsoring their annual butterfly release once again. 💜

Situated in the pretty village of Biddenham in Bedfordshire, just 2 miles from the bustling market town of Bedford, Bentley Grange is a brand-new purpose-built luxury care home with 60 spacious en-suite rooms.

Our aim is to provide exceptional and personalised residential, dementia and nursing care in a high-quality and tranquil setting.

🌈Pride Month is an entire month dedicated to the uplifting of LGBTQ+ voices, celebration of their culture and rights and here at Abingdon Court we wanted to show our support! 🫶

 

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.

As Madonna once said, music makes the people come together - we prove that statement true here at Abingdon Court 🎤

Whilst we inject music into as much of our daily lives as possible, our week wouldn’t be complete without our ✨Sing Along Fridays✨ where those who live here choose their favourite songs, which we all sing together!

There is never a dull day here at Abingdon Court!

When we're dancing, we're ✨smiling✨

Exercise increases your overall health and your sense of well-being, which puts more pep in your step every day. But exercise also has some direct stress-busting benefits. It pumps up your endorphins, making us happier and healthier!

Check us out in our weekly ✨More... Movement✨ sessions where we play our favourite tunes to get our bodies moving 💪

It's more than just movement 🎉
