Our latest fundraising event was held at Strawberry Fields Car boot where Activities Coordinators, Jodie and Manda, were selling staff donations to local bargain hunters. We had a great result from our sale in the summer, so we were hoping the weather would stay bright and dry this time around. The overall money raised totalled £107 which we were very pleased about, and the money will be added to our resident fund, just in time for Christmas! A big thank you to everyone who donated.

We love having seasonal displays in Reception at The Moors and we are delighted to present our Harvest Festival display for Autumn.  Our receptionist Tricia excels at creating these wonderful displays for the residents, staff and relatives to enjoy in the coffee shop.  We hope you enjoy them as much as Tricia does creating them for you.

We celebrated Bill's 100th Birthday at the home in October, with lots of fizz and laughter. Bill was delighted to receive a very special letter from the Queen.  We hope you had the most wonderful birthday with us at The Moors.

There has been plenty of activity at Oaklands this month.  We have had a Paper pumpkin making with a Royal Family quiz.  Pumpkin painting and making pumpkin faces with stickers.  Jack-O-Lantern pumpkin carving with a group singalong.

All getting ready for Halloween.  The residents were so excited for the main event when we had a Halloween party.

We have had lots of new senior managers start at the home recently and we wanted to introduce them to you all.

Halloween has arrived at Manor Park and each unit have been challenged to decorated their own lounge. They have done such an incredible job.  It was so hard to judge who the winners would be as each unit had created an environment which was decided by their own residents but the winner for this year was Mulberry unit.  To view more images of the competition visit our Facebook page at ManorParkCWCH.

Just a little thank you to all the team at Manor Park for being so amazing at what they do. Today is cake Friday for all the staff and residents and our residents loved picking their favourite cake to enjoy with their carers on shift that day.

We had a wonderful Friday afternoon in October with a live singing entertainment us from the garden. We enjoyed having a singalong and dance and had a great time.  So pleased he was able to visit before the cold days set in.

As the lawns were cut for winter we popped out to do some gardening with the residents planting some colourful flowers to see us through the winter months at the home.  The residents had a wonderful time deciding which plants were being potted where and we can’t wait for you to see them when you visit.

We were all set for our Halloween party at the home on Sunday 31st October and bought some witches hats for our residents to dress up in and be part of the fun and games we had planned.  Our wonderful kitchen team created a buffet for us and we enjoyed lots of party games and spooky Halloween music.
