We have celebrated Mothers/Mams/Mums with lots of conversations, some brought laughter and others tears, but it was so lovely to be able to provoke such good memories of our mums, those special ladies who made our childhood great. This was displayed in the lodge, with quotes from our lovely residents, things such as "I had what I'd call a real Mam" or she always smelt of talc were some of the memories. Other memories were a little more emotional as one of our residents never remembers her own mother, as she passed when she was young, but has so many special memories with her dad.

Some of our ladies joined a virtual coffee morning and thoroughly enjoyed seeing and listening/speaking to other people outside of our home. What a lovely way to connect with the community! Thank you to Wendy from St Mary's Parish Church, Disley for hosting a really enjoyable event.  

Mother's Day was a very special day at Allingham House , the residents could speak with their families by phones and videocalls meanwhile received cards and presents from them. 

Mothering Sunday at Manorhey was lovely, we enjoyed an afternoon tea with cakes, sandwiches and scones with cream and jam and tea served in china. All mums here and including Grandmas received beautiful cards, gifts and flowers which really did make their day special. 

Mother's Day was an absolute delight for our 'Mums' here at Wyndham Hall, flowers and cards galore and our residents loved every minute of the day. 

Bowerfield House held a Mother's Day raffle between staff, residents and relatives to bring some cheers this Mother's Day. Sarah won our first prize and Megan won the second prize. 

The Wharf team have introduced 'Jelly Drops' into our home much to our residents delight.  They have gone down an absolute treat, they've definitely got the thumbs up.  Jelly Drops are a unique hydration product developed to boost daily fluid intake. Recent studies have highlighted the positive impact on those who struggle to maintain their fluid intake, particularly those who are living with Dementia. Jelly Drops are a box of brightly coloured fun snacks, boosting hydration, one drop at a time!.

Celebrating The Wharf Care Home resident Doreen Gordon reaching the incredible milestone of her 100th birthday!. A remarkable lady, talented pianist and a keen rugby supporter.  Mrs Gordon retains a strong appetite for life and particularly enjoys The Wharfs exercise and singing classes.  Balloon tennis can get very competitive if you're on team Mrs G!.

Here at Hope Green we love to celebrate everyone's birthday. We like to ask everyone to choose what they would like to do for their big day. We enjoy a lot of one on one time together watching documentaries, eating cake and drinking lots of tea which is shared virtually with the residents family. 

Happy times at Hope Green as our residents have regular Skype calls with their loved ones. This ladies was extra special as it was Valentine's Day.
