Peace of mind

Moving into a care home can be daunting

Rest assured, our care team are here to make sure that making the move is as easy as possible for you and your loved one. If you still need reassurance, here are some stories from our residents, their families and our care team.

Mollie planted some cress earlier in the month and left some little pots growing on the window sills, she was pleasantly surprised to see just how much it had grown in such a short space of time.

It was National Carrot Cake Day earlier this month and Doreen and I attempted our own home baked carrot cake. We had a look at a few recipes and finally settled with Paul Hollywood's carrot cake.

At Hope Green some of our male residents requested we formed a Mens Group where men could meet to chat about topics they were interested in and look at choosing some games that they would enjoy playing together.

We had a lovely morning making apple and cinnamon scones. Joan mixed all the ingredients together whilst Jane made the oat crunch to go on top. Once everything was ready we sent them to our kitchen to bake. We enjoyed this with a lovely cup of tea for our afternoon tea.

For National Umbrella Day the residents had fun designing their own umbrellas in wonderful bright colours and patterns, very appropriate for the showers we were getting between the beautiful sunshine. They loved seeing their designs come to life as they folded together and a handle added.

All the staff and residents came up for a birthday surprise for our very own Home Manager, Delma Dela Cruz. We made beautiful paper flowers that show her name and decorated the room with lots of balloons. We kept this as a secret to her and surprised her on her very special day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DELMA!
