Valentines Day is almost upon us and our residents have been busy making memories and hearts! 

Inspired by Sir Captain Tom Moore, memory boards have been lovingly made by residents and staff at Wyndham Hall, God Bless and Good Night Captain Tom.

Residents made their own Chinese hats and the Dragon came to call. Followed up with a Chinese banquet of Spring Rolls and Sweet and Sour Chicken. 

Residents and Staff at Kents Hill Care Home are very grateful to the local Tesco at Kingston; Milton Keynes for their deliveries.  Helen; the community champion delivers 3 boxes of goodies on a weekly basis to Kents Hill for everyone to enjoy, bringing a smile to many faces as she arrives.  THANK YOU KINGSTON TESCO! 

This activity is about Valentine’s day, sunshine and being creative. Each resident has been given hearts to decorate in their own way. They created colours and sunshine with these hearts and where so happy when they saw them on the windows and how beautiful they looked when the sun shone through them. They really enjoyed seeing the end result and it was lovely to see their faces when the sunshine came through the window. 

We made hand paper flowers and hearts to decorate our visiting pod, it's bright and cheery and the residents love the finished result. 

We had some beautiful flowers gifted from a relatives family, we decided to arrange them into some small wooden crates and they have brightened our home beautifully during the cold winter months. 

We had a visit from a young boy and his mum who are local to Clarendon Court, he asked his mum if he could write to us and send some biscuits for them to give them a big smile on their faces. It is a lovely gesture and certainly brought lots of smiles. 

The last week the residents joined to the celebration of The National Storytelling Week. We organised different activities, starting on Tuesday with arts and crafts when the residents enjoyed colouring the famous 'Once upon a time in a far, far away...' The residents created very nice illustrations, some of them asked if we can display them in their rooms as they were very proud of them. 

The Westbourne is celebrating with theme of 'Love' this February and began with hippy fancy dress, colourful decorations and a morning of our favourite songs from The Beatles. 'All You Need Is Love' was a definite favourite song to get everyone up and dancing!
