Life at Badgeworth Court Care Home
International Yoga Day
Badgeworth Court Care Centre celebrated International Yoga Day. Joana ran a yoga session with gentle exercise movements and relaxing music, it was something different and very much enjoyed by all.
We then took a group of residents out for our walking club, discovering the nature all around us, lovely to see lots of busy bees.
Busy Day!
Badgeworth Court had a lovely visit from the Cheltenham Animal Shelter who went around the whole home. They bought in a lovely dog who made us all smile.
We also celebrated World Music Day in style! Sasha one of our student volunteers from Pate’s Grammar School played the flute in our garden while residents enjoyed their afternoon tea and fresh lemonade. With the glorious weather a group of residents helped out with watering all the flowers and taking part in the walking club.
Fabulous 95th Birthday
Happy 95th Birthday Len! To celebrate a group of Badgeworth Court residents went for a delicious and relaxing pub lunch The Cheese Rollers in Cheltenham. What a marvellous celebration for Len to be surrounded by friends and family, a very happy day that continued in the afternoon as residents relaxed in the gardens to the melodies of Mind Song singing our favourite Tunes.
It didn’t end there, Mr Whippy Cheltenham visited us with a van with lovely ice creams.
Thank you for all the team who supported today and made it so special what a great start to the weekend!
Spanish Themed Music and Tapas
Badgeworth Court Care Centre residents enjoyed celebrating National Beer Day with a Spanish theme including tapas and Spanish music! Steve played a fabulous selection of Spanish Songs. What great upbeat tunes we could all tap along to. Thank you to our hospitality team for the authentic food and selection of beers.
Badgeworth Court Celebrate the Queen's Official Birthday
Badgeworth Court celebrated the Queen’s Official Birthday in style! It was a delight to have local children visit to make crowns with our residents. Afternoon tea was enjoyed in the gardens accompanied by a musical performance from Timeless Tunes.
Mary, a resident at Badgeworth Court Care Centre, said: “The Queen is an amazing lady who has done so much for this country so it was a wonderful way to remember her and pay our respects. What a great start to the weekend.”
