Happy International Nurses Day to all of our nurses within Abingdon Court and around the world! 💙

 

We enjoyed celebrating with a party full of singing, dancing and plenty of cake. It's a perfect way to come together!

The people living with us enjoyed a fantastic tea party to celebrate The King's Coronation. 

As Madonna once said, music makes the people come together - we prove that statement true here at Abingdon Court 🎤

The King's coronation is a momentous occasion that calls for the utmost attention to detail when it comes to decoration and preparation. This event marks the beginning of a new era in the kingdom, and it is important to create an atmosphere that is both regal and celebratory 🎉👑

The Hawthorns held a brilliant indoor street party for the people living with us.

Everyone enjoyed a traditional English Buffet with a beautiful cake that our chefs made.

We would like to invite you to our very first Dementia Café!

Here at Woodland we have been making our very own photo booth for the Kings Coronation. We wanted to make a Golden Carriage for everybody to take photos in. 

It turned out really well, we charged £1 a photo and all the money raised went to charity.

We started a gardening club on 24th April, our gardener Paul was very excited about this.

The people living with us planted over 40 sunflower seeds, we hope they all germinate so we can plant them in our lovely garden.

We really enjoyed the entertainment from Kyle the singer, and the children entertained us with their fantastic dancing. Everyone had a great day.

We spent the day making beautiful Easter bonnets 👒, scrumptious nest cakes🪺, and arranging fresh spring flowers🐰🌷🌸

The Hawthorns recently invited some children from the local community to come and help the people that live with us prepare for their Easter celebrations.

Everyone got involved in creating some Easter decorations to be put around the home.

Every week in our poetry club, those living with us collectively write a poem. This is based on an idea or theme of the poems which we read aloud together. We thought these poem needed a home, so we’ve created this album to store them week by week. Check out what we have so far!
