Activities at Archview Lodge Care Home

Aloha from Archview as residents enjoyed a themed Hawaiian party. Residents enjoyed dressing up with grass skirts and dancing along to the ‘hula hula’ dance.  Everyone enjoyed themselves especially the pretty colours of the skirts and garlands, which added a little colour to the autumnal weather. 

There was lots of fun and laughter all around even though residents said “they wished they were on the actual beach sunbathing and drinking cocktails”.  Where will our themed travels take us next?

Birthdays are a firm feature in our life enrichment programme and this month celebrated, Liz, Etta and Nancy’s birthdays.  Our residents had a fabulous day surrounded by their families and friends, residents and staff here at the home before each were presented with a home-made cake especially prepared by chef, Mervyn along with a rousing rendition of happy birthday! 

A big thank you to the Cornish Seal Sanctuary for the fantastic live virtual event today!

Residents across our services loved seeing the seals up close and learning about the incredible work the sanctuary does to protect them and other wildlife in Cornwall as well.

Everyone truly enjoyed the experience.
