Peter from Lace Hill Manor has had a love for gliders since he was 15, so recently we organised to take him out to Bicester Motorglide. 

With the help of Lee from Motorglide, Peter had a lovely afternoon. He could name the gliders and tell us all about them, and he took his photo album and went through it with Lee and Paul, they were happy to listen to Peters story’s about how many flight hours he has done and the height he used to get to.

Situated in the pretty village of Biddenham in Bedfordshire, just 2 miles from the bustling market town of Bedford, Bentley Grange is a brand-new purpose-built luxury care home with 60 spacious en-suite rooms.

Our aim is to provide exceptional and personalised residential, dementia and nursing care in a high-quality and tranquil setting.

🌈Pride Month is an entire month dedicated to the uplifting of LGBTQ+ voices, celebration of their culture and rights and here at Abingdon Court we wanted to show our support! 🫶

 

Since the start of the year, we have been conducting well-being sessions with TTF Well-Being for our residents.  Sessions include a variety of activities from chair yoga, fitness, meditation and breathwork which have all been a remarkable success.

“At Highfield Care Home, our residents’ well-being is at the forefront of our minds,” said Aaron Barham, the care home’s manager.  “Our partnership with TTF Well-Being allows us to provide our residents with unique and beneficial well-being sessions that have been extremely well-received.”

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

We had a buffet and had a drink of Baileys and Buck Fizz to celebrate the day. The people living with us had a good sing song and said that they had a lovely time. They asked if we could do this every week! 

The people living with us were also given a present to celebrate The Coronation. 

To celebrate The King's Coronation over the weekend, we had a three day event. 

We had a buffet on the Saturday, a big party all day on the Sunday and a Royal party on the Monday. We had live music, a raffle, a BBQ and lots of cake. We also had our own Gold Carriage to take photos in. As well, our Woodland Mascot came to visit and we raised some money for charity.

Exercise increases your overall health and your sense of well-being, which puts more pep in your step every day. But exercise also has some direct stress-busting benefits. It pumps up your endorphins, making us happier and healthier!

Check us out in our weekly ✨More... Movement✨ sessions where we play our favourite tunes to get our bodies moving 💪

It's more than just movement 🎉

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 🎉👑

Rich shades of gold, burgundy, and royal blue are all popular choices for royal events, and can be used in everything from the drapes and tablecloths to the floral arrangements and centrepieces - we are even creating nail art inspired by the occasion!
