Deans Garden Centre Visit

Enjoying the sun! Our lovely Residents enjoyed an outing to the Dean's garden centre, looking at all the lovely flowers and enjoying a spot of tea in the sun. We really enjoy our trips out in the mini bus. 

Pamper Session

Whilst waiting for their hair appointments at our in house beauty salon our residents enjoyed a pamper session getting manicures from Activities Co-ordinator Makayla. 

Guitar Performance

We had the lovely Richard Morecroft bringing music and fun to our residents singing along to well known and well loved song from The Beetles, Johnny cash, Elvis Presley and finishing with Neil Diamonds' very well known song Sweet Caroline!

Ice Cream Sundae Competition! 🍨

Our talented residents have been getting creative in the kitchen and have made some fantastic ice cream sundaes to be entered into the Barchester Ice Cream Sundae Competition!
 
From colourful toppings to imaginative designs, everyone had great fun creating their delicious masterpieces. We are incredibly proud of their efforts and can't wait to see how they get on in the competition.
 
A huge well done to all our residents who took part – we think they're all winners! 🍦✨

💇‍♀️✨ A Day of Pampering and Smiles ✨💇‍♀️

Our lovely ladies enjoyed a wonderful trip to the hairdresser this week, where they were treated to a little pampering and some well-deserved relaxation.

There's nothing quite like a fresh hairstyle to boost confidence and put a smile on your face! The ladies returned feeling refreshed, fabulous, and ready to show off their new looks.

At Adlington Manor, we love supporting our residents to enjoy the things that make them feel their best and maintain the routines they have always enjoyed.

💕 Which hairstyle would make you feel fabulous?

Day trip to the Cotswolds

Today we enjoyed a lovely minibus trip to the picturesque village of The Slaughters, where we took in the stunning scenery.
Afterwards, we made a welcome stop at Starbucks in Burford for coffee, cake, and plenty of chat and laughter.

Southerndown Summer Festival!

A huge thank you to everyone who came along and helped make the day such a wonderful success. It was lovely to see so many residents, families, friends and visitors enjoying the festival together, creating memories and sharing lots of smiles

A special visit

We were delighted to welcome a very special visitor to Bayleaf yesterday as we hosted Barchester Healthcare’s Chief Operating Officer, Natasha Lazovic.
 
It was Natasha’s first visit to Bayleaf since we opened, making it the perfect opportunity for our General Manager, Katie, to showcase everything that makes our home so special.
 
Joined by our Senior Regional Director, Margery, Natasha spent time chatting with our wonderful residents and their families before enjoying a delicious afternoon tea, lovingly prepared by our talented Head Chef, Stephane.
 
It was a fantastic afternoon and a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the warm, welcoming community we’ve created at Bayleaf. A big thank you to Natasha for taking the time to visit us – we hope to welcome you back again soon!
