We just love getting our 'Oomph' on each and every week to support the enhancement of mental, physical and emotional wellbeing through innovative exercise and activity solutions.  We strive to enable those living with us to live life to the full. We have one life, so let's give it some Oomph!.

Here at Troutbeck we held a big celebration for Halloween and we were delighted with our Halloween display.

We had fun embellishing our pumpkins, we decided to make them sparkly and glamorous. Norma enjoyed jazzing up the pumpkins, she is always a great sport and enjoys getting involved at any opportunity.

Teamwork makes the dreams work, that will be the perfect definition to describe the amazing pumpkin shaped biscuits that the residents baked as part as one of the many activities that they enjoyed to celebrate Halloween. The biscuits were served later on with tea and coffee, all the residents agreed that they were delicious.

We had so much fun this Halloween, from pumpkin carving and decorating to creating a group spooky collage and most of all our monster mash party. Our residents had a little Halloween frightful feast and danced the afternoon away to "Ghost busters " Thriller and many more.

Our window display for Remembrance Day.

We also have poppies available at reception for residents, relatives and staff to donate to.

What can be better than your morning paper being delivered by your friends with a smile? One of our residents loves to help out and rises early every day so the newspaper round is a perfect role for her and she is delighted to get involved. A knock on the door with a smile is a perfect start to any morning and much appreciated by our residents.

Our residents here at Ashfield Court really enjoyed a traditional afternoon tea, there were lots of conversations, cake and bubbles.

We had great fun making bonfire biscuits at Cavendish Court. We decorated our biscuits like fireworks using icing sugar and sprinkles, we had great fun getting messy and enjoyed eating our handiwork with a cup of tea mmmm delicious!

Our residents really enjoyed watching the garden fireworks on Bonfire Night at Carmel Lodge. We had a lovely night enjoyed by all residents and staff.
