White Rose Lodge continues to maintain close relationships and links with the community. We celebrated V.E. Day with a gift from a friend of the home. Paul comes to the home to produce music through the use of instruments with the assistance of our residents. Paul dropped off some chocolate celebrations to be shared amongst the residents with some V.E Day activity packs and wished everyone well and spoke of looking forward to seeing them all again for their weekly samba musical workshops.

This month residents at The Moors have been enjoying the sunshine outside and making the most of the good weather.

The local carpenter made special raised planters for the home and flowers and plants were donated by the community. Residents enjoyed planting all the lovely plants having lots of fun and laughter in the sun with a ice cream or two. 

The residences have been fighting fit at the Moors , with a music and movement classes, one to one and small groups they have enjoyed taking part in all the actions and fun and joy of the music and singing using pom poms ,scarfs  and bean bags and musical instruments enjoyment had by all the residents and staff.

To celebrate VE Day residents dressed in colours similar to the British flag and wore hats, they did games out in the garden and later had some lovely scones as a real English treat. Staff also did a minutes silence to remember those who fought for our country.

During lockdown Arts & Crafts have been a good way to keep residents busy at Parkview. They use their imagination to create wonderful pieces of art including the flower ballet girl, Easter arts and our latest dressed up paper cut outs.

Our residents at Hope Green enjoyed an afternoon making a jigsaw. With a little ice cream break included. 

Thank you to Cheshire East Council for the chocolate treats enjoyed by staff and residents at Hope Green Care Home.
