Life at Badgeworth Court Care Home
Celebrating Doris Day
Today we celebrated what would have been Doris Day's birthday. To honour one of the most popular American actresses, we spent time learning interesting facts about her early life and career, and we watched one of her films. Our residents selected a movie from a number of options: Please don't eat the Daisies, Young man with a horn, Young at Heart and Calamity Jane. They selected Calamity Jane starring Doris Day and Howard Keel, with lots of high-stepping dances and hummable scores written by Academy Award-winning songwriter Sanny Faib.
We were also lucky to have our volunteers with us to play Que sera sera which led to a lovely sing along.
Tai-Chi Class
Badgeworth Court residents really enjoyed a Tai-Chi class in our Memory Lane community. The session was run by our Activities Coordinator who had sounds of nature playing in the background. Residents went on to enjoy the sun in the gardens either by taking a walk or sitting with a drink. With the clocks changing and warmer weather here we are so enjoying being able to go outside more.
Happy Mother's Day
Happy Mother's Day from Badgeworth Court. Mother’s Day is a time to celebrate our mums and all the motherly figures in our lives. This year, we wanted to make this extra special for the mums in our home.
Our fabulous Chef prepared a lovely lunch in the dining room, enjoyed by all. This this afternoon there was a traditional afternoon tea accompanied by a piano concert provided from our extremely dedicated students from Pate’s Grammar School who even took special song requests from our residents. Joana and the students also delivered flowers to our residents in their bedrooms. What a wonderful day.
Celebrating Dame Vera Lynn's Birthday
Last Sunday would have been Dame Vera Lynn's 105th birthday. To mark the occasion, we welcomed back Carole from “Cats Pyjamas” who performed Vera Lynn’s songs. Residents thanked Carole for such beautiful singing; there were smiles, clapping, dancing, singing and lots of memories shared.
Relaxing Sunday
It was a relaxing Sunday at Badgeworth Court. Our residents enjoyed a lovely walk in our gardens. There was then a lovely visit from Pate's Grammar School, spending individual time with our residents. Thank you to volunteer students John and Dowon for their time.
Happy St Patrick's Day!
Badgeworth Court Care Centre celebrated St. Patrick's Day in style. The home was decorated with shamrocks and green balloons with everyone dressing in green to mark the day. The activities team put on some Irish chair dancing, including chair steps for all abilities all with fun Irish music in the background. It was a great morning followed by Irish dishes for lunch, along with some Guinness tasting!
