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. 

The weather tried to ruin the plans for the Brunel House Carnival & Circus but undeterred we just moved inside and had the most amazing day.

A special thank you to all the staff team for their support it could not have been possible without you

Even though we are not able to get out and about as much as we used to for the moment, we are still taking the opportunity for fresh air when we can.

Our most recent visit was to enjoy the view at Westbury White Horse, of course we wrapped up warm and took all of the necessary precautions.  We were rewarded with with stunning view.

At a recent resident's meeting, a number of residents suggested trying "Foods from Around the World".

Everyone enjoyed it immensely and we are planning out next event. Foods sampled were from diverse countries such as Portugal, Japan, Hungary, Mexico, Italian, Indian.

Perhaps out next step is to try wines from around the world.

Now the dark nights and autumn days are coming in we've started enjoying board games a lot more at the home.  Monopoly and Bingo are two of the firm favourites in September but we have also enjoyed lots of home baking, an entertainer outside of the home as well as reminiscing about Sunderland and the historical places in our fabulous city.
