We made hand made angels to decorate our Christmas tree this year at Troutbeck Care Home. We will be sending our angels out to families for Christmas. 

4th Taplow & Hitcham Brownies have been busy creating these lovely hand made Christmas Cards which have really brightened up the walls and brought more festive joy and cheer to Windmill Care Centre, Slough.

A huge thank you to Matron Sue and Sister Maria from Wexham Park Hospital A&E who delivered a personalised gift and card for every one living at Windmill Care Home, Slough today, along with a few little extras to ensure that any new arrivals who may come into join us at all Windmill before Christmas have a gift to open on Christmas Day. 

This month we welcomed Katy to the home as an Activity Coordinator and we wanted her to feel welcome. Therefore we created activities that enabled both Katy to get to know our residents but also for our residents to get to know Katy.

There has been lots of hard work at Acorn House with our 'Knit and Natter' session. We had plenty of cups of teas to keep us going, as the ladies added the finishing touches to our blanket and finally got it sewn together. Now for our next project!

Staff and residents had a huge celebration, one of our residents turned 103! A beautiful cake was made for everyone to enjoy.  

At Acorn House they have been blessed to have had a new visiting pod built. All the materials were donated and a kind local joiner form the Blackburn area built it for free. All they wanted was cups of teas and biscuits! A huge shout out of thanks to the gents from AG joinery!

Such a loving atmosphere in Skell Lodge today, whilst our residents packed food hampers to donate to the Salvation Army. Such a good cause.

The residents at Allingham House enjoyed many Christmas activities last week. We started the week creating beautiful Christmas Cards, that were displayed around the home as part of the Christmas decorations and then we had a session of  baking Christmas biscuits, with different kind of shapes like stars and snowmen. The residents really enjoyed reminiscing about their favourites Christmas recipes and sweets, like mince pies, gingerbread or Christmas pudding.

The residents at Allingham House have got involved in the project ‘Hearts for Schools’ last week. In this project residents from care homes write messages to children from nurseries and schools close to them. In our case, the children from the nursery next door invited us to join them from our garden. The children introduced themselves to the residents and after that we were singing nursery songs together like Twinkle Twinkle Little Star or Insy Winsy Spider. The children and the residents really enjoyed the session.
