Staff and residents at Parkview House took part in the Alzheimer’s Society Memory Walk to raise money for the chairty.

We have had an afternoon of pumpkin painting, using a variety of different mediums. The residents found the pumpkins very interesting and didn't stop at just one because they enjoyed so much. We also sang along to the music as we created beautiful art work.

On escorting to the salon our residents are made to feel comfortable whilst having there hair done and listening to relaxing music. Each residents is given the opportunity to choose how they would like there styled. It gives each resident the freedom of choice and a time to chat and enjoy being pampered. 

Even though it wasnt the same without any visitors, we had a great coffee morning. We ate cake and had coffee, had a good chat and played some games (which to me, is what a coffee morning is all about right?) We are really looking forward to having normal events again one day, but for now we will adapt and still go ahead with them, just in a slightly different way. We will continue to try and keep as close to normality as possible for the sake of the residents, but we look forward to sending everyone updates! 

Preparation all done for this week meeting of the Woodland Warblers, our resident armchair singing group

Residents worked hard to create more weight options for our chair based exercise sessions, nope you an never ever have too much glitter

Healthy competition, as our residents enjoy a game of hoops and cones, strengthening eye to hand co-ordination, and an eagerness to win!

Residents enjoyed our Macmillan Coffee morning and party games at our animal themed party. Some of our residents took turns at  pin the chicken on the farm. Lots of laughter



Our  residents are very proud to showcase their very own handmade bunting at the animal themed party.

We love our sweet shop area at Belmont House where we have lots of the memento's from the past which the residents can enjoy whilst visiting the shop.  We think it makes such a lovely display at the home for our residents who suffer from Dementia

In September residents at Willow Bank were treated to an outdoor performance by Sam and Natalie from the arts Together for Care Homes project. We were fortunate to have excellent weather and the residents enjoyed sitting out in the sun and listening to the performance.
