Over the last few weeks the people at our home have used paints, stickers, glitter and tissue paper to create the most beautiful, colourful flowers. They have cut them out and put them together to form a big flower for the Queens Platinum Jubilee.
This activity was enjoyed by everyone at the home, including people who couldn't get to the activities room to join us.  We brought flowers to the rooms of people who wanted to participate to ensure that everyone was included.

We are in full swing with our preparation for the Queens upcoming Jubilee.  There is much excitement amongst the people living with us.  We are currently working on a big display using flowers painted by the people at the home.  Looking forward to showing you all the final display.

We celebrated International Nurses Day in our lounge with people living with us and staff. Our fantastic nurses each got a certificate, bottle of wine and other gifts. Our amazing kitchen team created some Blue and White cup cakes, which tasted lovely.  Huge thank you to everyone who made the day so special.

The nurses at Kingsbury Court were surprised with a small party today to celebrate them and to say a huge thank you for all they do. It was so lovely to have been able to keep the secret from them until the day itself and treat them as they all do such a fantastic job for us.

Supporting peoples independence is something that we like to achieve at our home and it is different from person to person but no matter what the task, they all come with their own sense of accomplishment. 
We have one person living with us at the moment who wanted to be apart of the team and help us where she can.  We were only too delighted to have her help, and now she even has her own uniform that she loves. 

We wanted to do something special to celebrate the amazing nurses that we have at Buckingham House care home.  We all met outside for some refreshments and the home manager gave each of our nurses a gift to thank them for all the incredible work that they do.

In honour of Florence Nightingale, we had a small gathering and celebration for our nurses at Cedar Court this afternoon. As a Registered General Nurse and also being our Regional Director, we also had our special guest, Petra join us for the same.  Our nurses provide such great care for the people who live with us it was nice to have an opportunity to show them we they are valued. Thank to everyone who made this say special.

International Nurses Day, such an important day when we celebrate all the amazing work all nurses do day in day out. 
We are so lucky to have exceptionally dedicated nurses working with us and today we would like to recognise them and thank them for all they do! 

We had a the most wonderful day trip to Tropical Birdland in Desford, Leicestershire.  Only a short drive from out home we all thoroughly enjoyed the walk around.  It was such a great experience getting to look at all the different species of birds, feeding them and even holding them for those who wished. To finish off when enjoyed a hot cuppa from the cafe and a delicious picnic our fantastic hospitality team had prepared for us.

We wanted to support The Queen’s Green Canopy (QGC) which is a unique tree planting initiative created to mark Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022 which invites people from across the United Kingdom to “Plant a Tree for the Jubilee”.
The people living with us wanted to be apart of the process so we made that happen for her which was amazing to see.
