Colourful Autumnal Fun Day for Residents
Residents and staff recently came together to celebrate the arrival of autumn with an Autumn Day event. The day was filled with creative activities, heartfelt conversations, and a touch of friendly competition.
The residents kicked off the festivities by unleashing their artistic talents, using various mediums to craft stunning autumn-themed pictures, picture frames, and wreaths. These beautiful creations will now adorn the residents' rooms, serving as a reminder of the joyous occasion. Family members also joined in on the fun by participating in a raffle, with a generous hamper brimming with delectable treats as the coveted prize. The excitement peaked when a lucky resident's family member emerged as the winner, expressing gratitude for the delightful surprise.
As the day unfolded, residents, staff, and their families engaged in conversations about the unique allure of the autumn season. One resident eloquently shared their love for cosying up by a warm fire and marvelling at the rich tapestry of autumnal hues adorning the landscape.
The atmosphere was further enlivened with an Autumn quiz and word scramble, sparking friendly competition and putting everyone's knowledge to the test. General Manager, Joanna Mosses, expressed delight at seeing the community come together to partake in the day's activities, emphasising the importance of nurturing residents' lifelong passions and fostering new experiences within the home.
The Autumn Day event at the home was a testament to the warmth and camaraderie that defines the community, leaving everyone looking forward to more cherished moments in the seasons to come.

What an incredible afternoon it was for all the residents, family members, visitors, and staff at the home as Lesley Ann & Katie Rose brought their lively music and entertainment. The atmosphere was filled with joy as the duo engaged with the residents, serenading them with beautiful renditions of 60's and 70's music.
The room was alive with the sounds of the past, and it was heartwarming to see the residents and visitors enthusiastically singing along, tapping their feet, and clapping their hands to the music.
Joanna Mosses, General Manager, expressed her delight, stating, "It's always heart-warming to see the residents enjoy the entertainment we organise for them. The residents clearly had a wonderful time with Lesley and Katie, and we look forward to having this talented mother-daughter duo here on a regular basis."
