Celebrating life at Barchester

What a lovely morning we had coming together in support of Macmillan Cancer Support!  Our residents, families and team enjoyed a wonderful selection of delicious cakes and hot drinks, all while being entertained by the fabulous Jen, who treated us to some amazing live music! She was absolutely brilliant and had everyone enjoying the atmosphere. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the morning so special. Every cuppa, slice of cake and donation helps support such an important cause!          

The residents at Lindum House all joined together and enjoyed a tradition that they’ve all done for years – watched the Last Night of the Proms.

We waved our flags, sang along to well known songs and shared stories of even being there for one of the Live Events a few years ago.

Favourite songs included ‘Land of Hope and Glory’, ‘The National Anthem’, ‘Auld Lang Syne’ and laughing along to ‘Donald, Where’s Your Troosers’.    

Our Thursday Trips took us to Hornsea to blow away the cobwebs – we were lucky with the weather, the sun kept his hat on – even though there was a slight sea breeze!

After a stroll by the beach, we enjoyed fish and chips for lunch.

We are now asking residents where the next trips should be to.     

Her family arranged for an Elvis Impersonator to come and sing at her birthday party at Lindum House Care Home – inviting the other Residents to join also.

Taking an opportunity for all her family to gather round and share  in this Milestone birthday.

Lilian’s children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren all came to be at her party – hosted in the Dining Room at Lindum House.   

We had a very special visitor when Barbs was reunited with her much-loved dog, Roxy. The pair enjoyed some precious time together sitting peacefully in the garden, enjoying each other’s company and the sunshine.

The joy on their faces said it all. Roxy was clearly delighted to see Barbs, and it was lovely to watch the special bond they share.
Moments like this are incredibly meaningful and remind us how important it is for our residents to maintain the relationships and connections that matter most to them.

There were plenty of cuddles, smiles and moments of happiness as Barbs and Roxy enjoyed their time together. It was a truly an amazing visit and a wonderful reminder of how special the bond between a person and their beloved pet can be.   

Edinburgh Fringe Festival came to Archview Lodge! We had absolutely blast watching the Hula Babes and  fantastic flamenco performance with lots of music, dancing and smiles. A lovely afternoon of entertainment brought right to our home!  

Great day out to the National Museum of Flight with Mike, Jacky and Andrew! They enjoyed exploring the museum, seeing the amazing aircraft and learning a little more about the history of flying. Lots to see and plenty of lovely memories made along the way!

Lovely physio trip to Drummond Grange with Helena, Elma and Irene. They enjoyed getting involved with some gentle exercises and activities, keeping active while having a lovely time together.       

At 6pm, we gathered for a beautiful Evening High Tea, served in elegant bone China, with a delightful platter of fresh fruit complementing the birthday cake.

As the lights were dimmed and colourful spotlights illuminated the room, the atmosphere became warm, intimate and wonderfully celebratory. The evening was enhanced by live jazz from Alex, who brought timeless favourites to life and created the perfect musical backdrop for such a special occasion.

Surrounded by family, friends and peers, we came together to mark Audrey’s remarkable 95th birthday  an evening filled with laughter, music, cherished memories and the joy of celebrating an extraordinary milestone.

It was a truly memorable evening, filled with music, colour, elegance and love, celebrating 95 wonderful years of Audrey’s life.
