🌺 Beautiful Blooms 🌺

Well well well ….
 
Our fantastic gardener Chris has been incredibly busy over the last few weeks renovating our welcome sign and ‘little Heath’ at the top of our driveway!
 
He has discovered the most beautiful wall hidden behind an abundance of weeds. It is looking fabulous to day the least ⭐️
 
The work continues ahead of our entry into Prestbury in Bloom in July 🩷🫶🏻
 
We would also like to thank our sister home Arbour Court Care Home - Barchester Healthcare ‘s head of maintenance John for hand crafting this wonderful trailer for us. It’s all about teamwork here at #barchesterhealthcare, and we are excited to see how our floral display continues to bloom.

Wimborne's Pit Stop Carers cafe running in Westtown Inn pub

The popular and well established Pit Stop Support carers cafe has enjoyed a new venue at the friendly and welcoming Westtown Pub.

Wimborne opens its doors as a 'Swelter Shelter'

Wimborne, Hayling's leading care home has opened its doors to the community during the recent hot and dry spell.

Becoming a 'cool port in a heat storm' or somewhere to simply rehydrate has been very well received.

Keeping Cool in the Garden

Our residents are keeping cool during the hot weather at Newington Court. 
 
Enjoying lots of fruity ice lollies and refreshing drinks to keep us all hydrated!

Lydfords on the Radio

Lydfords recently was featured on CareSound Radio's Tuesday Care Home Request Show.
 
CareSound Radio broadcasts to hospitals and care homes across Perth in Scotland and for the first time they featured a care home elsewhere in the country.
 
Our residents & staff chose their favourite songs which included Cliff Richard with Summer Holiday and Eva Cassidy with Somewhere over the Rainbow.
 

Cocktails and Mocktails

Today, we held our Open Day, and residents enjoyed a wonderful time with cocktails and Mocktails with a Hawaiian theme. Complete with colourful garlands and fun glasses and the photo booth, the event bought plenty of laughter and smiles, and enjoyed by everyone.
 
It was lovely to welcome visitors to our home, giving them the opportunity to meet our manager and staff, while also taking a look around and experiencing the warm and friendly atmosphere that makes our home so special.
 
After an enjoyable afternoon it was time for residents to unwind and relax during our movie matinee, complete with a selection of delicious treats. The day continued with our Ladies and Gentleman's evening, where some residents enjoyed friendly games of dominoes, and shared their favourite tipples, and settling in ready to watch the England match. A great end to a a busy and enjoyable day.

This morning at Mount House and Severn View Care Home - Barchester Healthcare, our residents enjoyed watching the England V Mexico match. As the game was played during the early hours, everyone was fast asleep, so staff and residents who already knew the result did a fantastic job of keeping the result a secret.
 
And what a game it was! Residents and staff watched with great excitement, cheering throughout the match and enjoying every moment. There were plenty of smiles, celebrations, and a wonderful atmosphere as England secured the win.
 
Well done, England!🏆⚽️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
