The residents enjoyed the celebrations of Chocolate Day with a Chocolate Tasting. It was the perfect opportunity to enjoy their favourite chocolates with a cup of tea or coffee and reminiscing with other residents and staff about the memories that the different flavours bring them back. Definitely the Sweetest way of Reminiscing.

Amber Court team had a great idea to turn our Oscar Awards Statue into scary mummy. We used tissue rolls to cover and draw some bloods in it. Look how amazing and scary it is. Our residents and staff in Amber Court can’t wait for our Halloween Party!

Our residents enjoyed a fun-filled Disney day last month. The activities team started off by decorating the home with beautiful bright balloons and decorations. We then did different Disney themed activities, some made Disney head pieces and princess tiaras whilst others coloured Disney colouring pages. Then in the afternoon the activities team dressed up, we enjoyed classic Disney movies with popcorn, cupcakes, sweets and mickey mouse shaped sandwiches. We ended our day by singing Disney soundtracks and dancing away.

Owen joined in with the golf tournament and more games that followed, he was the over all winner of the days games, winning a box of chocolate for his effort.
