Boots 'n' Strings play for the Residents

We love nothing more than welcoming live entertainers into the home, and yesterday we were absolutely delighted to be graced by the wonderful Boots 'n' Strings.

Their fantastic mix of songs from yesteryear, alongside some more recent favourites, had our residents up on their feet, singing along and showing off their best dance moves.

But the fun didn’t stop there! Afterwards, Boots ‘n’ Strings took the time to visit some of our residents in their rooms and perform for them too. This was very much appreciated and made the afternoon extra special.

It was an energetic, joyful and truly beautiful afternoon, and we’re already looking forward to welcoming Boots ‘n’ Strings back to Bayleaf very soon!

A Wonderful Day Out

Our residents from both Pinetree and Derham care home enjoyed a wonderful joint trip to Summer Hills!

It was lovely to spend time together, enjoy the beautiful surroundings and make some special memories.

Of course, there was time to stop for a little refreshment along the way!
