Life at Badgeworth Court Care Home
Mindsong Music Afternoon
It was a lovely surprise for our residents to see their Mindsong friends again and sing along to our favourite tunes.
We also had a visit from our Volunteers from Pate's Grammar School.
As part of our regular programme of events Mindsong will visiting to perform on Fridays in our Main Lounge. We are so grateful for the volunteers who give their time for our residents.
Pamper Time
With our own luxury salon at Badgeworth Court, residents really enjoy their time in there and we keep our hairdresser very busy! The salaon is also regularly used for manicures.
Sharing the Love with the Community
At Badgeworth Court Care Centre we are sharing the love and friendship with all our residents, families, friends and the team.
Today we made some special deliveries; coloured hearts from Pate's Grammar School and crochet hearts from takeheartxo. Everyone was delighted to receive such personal and thoughtful gifts from the local students and community. There were also sweet treats of chocolate hearts. We would like to thank our community so much for their kindness. Every community within the home has their own tree of hearts so the love and kindness continues.
Buddy Holly Day
Today our home was transformed into a 50s diner to mark Buddy Holly Day.
In 1959, Buddy Holly died tragically in a plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa, aged just 22 along with fellow musicians, Ritchie Valens and J.P. Richardson. He was a pioneering singer-songwriter, hailed as one of the greats of 1950’s American rock & roll, despite his short career.
Many of our residents are big Buddy Holly fans and still love his music. We had a fantastic day listening to his hits, finding out more about his life and enjoyed a bit of dancing too!
We all had a brilliant time reminiscing about our dance hall days too!
RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch
As part of the RSPB Big Garden Bird Watch residents at Badgeworth Court have been making our birds some delicious treats! It was rather messy but also great fun making feeders for our local visitors to enjoy. We placed the feeders all around the gardens and it has been really enjoyable to watch birds big and small come and enjoy the food, they are now expecting regular top ups!
Winter Walks
At Badgeworth Court Care Centre we enjoy spending time in the outdoors and whenever we can we take residents out for a winter walk. The grounds and gardens are always changing and we all love seeing the wildlife.
