There is no end to the talents of our residents at Cedar Court, they take on every challenge set them!  They were very keen to take part in the Cranleigh competition for the best 'Guy' to be thrown on the local bonfire. Our residents who are living with dementia created the beautiful artwork with paper spinning wheels, which they all thoroughly enjoyed.  The 'Guys' were created by some of the people living at Cedar Court, assisted by Kathryn our activities assistant. A big thank you goes out to Kathryn’s parents for making the Paper Mache heads.

Not a holiday that those who live here are used to celebrating, but our Halloween celebrations turned out to be such a fun filled day.

Parkview House was on fire for Halloween, with a singing sensation entertainer giving off Phantom of the Opera vibes, fantastic decorations and our staff arrived in some great fancy dress costumes for our residents party

Not only did our residents enjoy preparing for Halloween with pumpkin painting, but our staff did to!

We set up our pumpkin painting station for the staff to show off their artistic skills ,they had a lot to live up to after seeing all the fantastic colourful decorations produced by the people living with us, but everyone was suitably impressed by all of these creations🎃👻

Our Halloween celebrations really were fantastic thanks to the creativity of the people living with us and all of these beautiful masks that were created 🎃👻

At Highfield many of the people living with us enjoy participating in art and craft activities and this week joined into pumpkin crafting including painting, carving along with flower arranging in the pumpkins 🎃

At Buckingham House the people who live with us enjoys our daily morning exercise sessions. Nothing better than some gentle stretching and seated exercises to get the day off to a great start .

This daily exercise class is so popular that our staff also join in.

Lace Hill Manor has been designed with superior care at the heart, supported with five-star facilities ensuring people can benefit from exceptional personalised nursing, residential and dementia care. As a home, we want to provide not only the very best physical environment for those living with us, but an opportunity for them to live life to the fullest and celebrate their individuality.

The residents loved listening to music with a cuppa and being pampered from nails to make up in there very own beauty salon here at the Moors Care Centre.  We have lots of activities on during the week but sometimes we just enjoy some 1-1 time together having our nails done or a pamper for the ladies.

We celebrated a belated Macmillan Coffee morning in September to raise vital funds for this amazing charity and all they do to support the community.  The day of the Macmillan coffee morning coincided with our annual care awards so we decided to host this a week later so our wonderful residents had two parties which they loved.

On Friday 19th October we were delighted to be presented with second prize from Great Aycliffe town council for best community garden. We were absolutely over the moon to receive this award. We would like to say a huge thank you to Ken for all his hard work he has put into our beautiful garden we really do appreciate it, all his hard work has paid off.
