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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Macmillan Coffee Morning! With cake donations from our Manager and Chef we had a lovely natter and raised £57.00 in the process. Well done everyone!

One of our residents grand -daughter’s got married and she didn't want her Nanna to miss seeing her in her gorgeous wedding dress so organised a pit stop at the home.  Emma was thrilled to see Katie in her wedding dress it was lovely.

Happy birthday to the three M's of Rosedale.  Michelle, Mercy and Maya who celebrated their birthdays together in September.  We hope you had a wonderful day ladies.

September was a month we did a lot of home baking, the weather has started to change a little making getting out into our private grounds a little more difficult so instead we made butterfly cakes, buns and bread sticks over the course of the month which we thoroughly enjoyed.

We think we did a great job of the cakes.  

We were delighted to receive a visit from Banana Moon nursery in September.  One of the staff from the nursery came to Rosedale with some gift and cards whcih  the mini moonies and nursery children had made for us.  They went down a storm when we brought them into the home and shared them around all of the units.  Thank you so much.

Monread Lodge Care Home have been giving out goodie bags to our very hard-working Paramedics.

They were very well received and much appreciated.
