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.

There was some lovely work produced in our mindful colouring session. Residents listened to relaxing mindful music whilst producing their pieces. These sessions aim to improve focus and concentration and reduce stress. We finished off our session with a herbal tea.

A women's work is never done, but we had lots of fun at Bowerfield House sorting and pairing all these socks up. With Vera and Pauline on the job it didn't take long to pair up every one’s socks. They are all nicely put away in everyone's bedroom ready for another day.

The residents had a delicious Chinese dish for lunch. Either Sweet and Sour Chicken with rice or Vegetable stir fry. They enjoyed the decorations and the fun fortune cookies. We also found out which animal each resident is is regards to the Chinese calendar.
