Last week our residents enjoyed a country and western themed afternoon complete with music, props and instruments.

Staff and residents at Windmill Care Centre, Slough enjoyed a fantastic afternoon acknowledging all of the hard work and dedication shown by the whole team these past 12 months, as part of their celebrations for the annual MMCG Care Awards. Now in their 7th year, the awards have been created to acknowledge and pay tribute to individual colleagues and teams nationwide across all of the MMCG and Countrywide care group, who have demonstrated excellence within their field.

Last week our residents got involved in cake decorating, they all really enjoyed decorating their own buns. 

Last week we had a great afternoon, we had a golf tournament with the residents. Dorothy and Mona did really well, we had our maintenance, John, help and give us some tips and lesson.

We have had a new project here at Hope Green as we were spending time personalising our walkers. It prompted lots of conversation and excitement too as we encouraged each other to choose items that they like, are important to them, or represent them in some way. We've already noticed that it's really helping everyone to easily identify their own walker and encouraging everyone to use them too. Proven to reduce the risk of falls it has to be a 'win win' project.

Residents and staff from Belmont House enjoyed a lovely afternoon walk around Belmont Park. 

The Wharf Care Home proudly supporting the Forget-Me-Not Garden 21st - 29th August at Brinton Park.  The lovely people at KEMP Hospice based in The Wyre Forest put together incredible collection of uniquely handcrafted Forget-Me-Not Flowers which were available for members of the public to secure a flower in memory of a loved one. Volunteers from The Wharf got stuck in putting the installation together and were thrilled to be able to support such a wonderful event.

Jean was our winner of the colouring competition today, she was thrilled to be chosen and loved the chocolates she won. She then carried on to win the most games of domino's, she couldn't believe her luck!

Dorothy, Gwen and Owen all joined in with the colouring and they all did some amazing pictures. It was thoroughly enjoyed and they thought it was a very therapeutic afternoon, we finished it of with there favourite tipple, a glass of sherry.
