Chartwell Manor had a great time celebrating Mother's day. Friends and family were invited for cream tea and then everyone danced the afternoon away. Thank you to the wonderful entertainer who sang songs of all kinds which everyone sang along to.

Claremont Manor hosted their wonderful open day. It was filled with a number of fun activities and taster sessions to give the local community an understanding of what they have to offer and the incredible care that will be available once open.

Thanks to all who attended. 

Willowdene had a great arts and crafts session making Easter Bonnets. This is something they do every year, holding a competition for best hat, with prizes for the winners. 

Good luck to everyone creating Easter Bonnets! 

Water Royd care home celebrated Valentine's Day in style... they enjoyed a singalong and had strawberry and marshmallow skewers (covered in chocolate, of course!). Everyone was then treated to a Valentine's gift, and had the opportunity to take part in a Valentine's photoshoot.  The images turned out great. After, they finished off the day with a nice cup of tea and reminisced on past Valentine's Days.

Glennie House celebrated pancake day with a special visit from 'Get Stacked Pancake Van'. Everyone enjoyed their tasty treat, followed by an afternoon of singing and dancing with live entertainment from singer Charlie and his guitar. 

Chartwell Manor celebrated Chinese New Year with their chef Jinfu. He spoke to the people living with us about Chinese traditions, and taught everyone how to use chopsticks. This was followed by a quiz, games, and lots of fun with family and friends. 

Celebrating cultures is a huge part of Abingdon Court and this month they focused on the Chinese New Year! 🎉

One of our Nurses Mei shared the importance of her culture to those that live with us! She made delicious Chinese dumplings for all to try which went down a treat. The kitchen staff also got involved and created a beautifully authentic menu which tantalised everyone's taste buds. Whilst the Lifestyle team pulled out all the stops with a quiz, fact finder, music and dances to really make those that live with us feel they were in China!

Earsdon Grange had a great time celebrating Burns Night. They read poems, did a quiz and did some Burns Night arts and crafts. 

For tea, the people living at Earsdon Grange had haggis, tatties and leaks, and a dram of whiskey. 

Scottish music played in the background whilst enjoying the night, which finished with a nice cuppa and some shortbread. 

The Wharf has been celebrating Dignity Action Day. The people living at The Wharf, along with members of staff have been wearing red in honour of this special day, and they have all worked together to create a 'Digni-tree' on each floor.  The tree consists of positive comments written by the people living with us, staff and friends and family. 

Dignity in Care advocates compassionate and respectful care for all and is so important!

Chartwell Manor had a lovely coffee morning with friends, family and members of staff. They enjoyed lots of sweet treats, followed by a quiz and some singing. A great morning, filled with lots of fun.
