Life at Badgeworth Court Care Home
Floral Displays
A group of Badgeworth Court residents have put together some beautiful floral displays for around the home. Getting creative and putting the colours together saw stunning end results and we are all enjoying seeing the displays.
Autumn Sunny Walks Around Badgeworth Court
Badgeworth Court is situated within the most beautiful grounds, which include an orchard and formal borders. Residents enjoy regularly taking walks around the grounds and it has been wonderful to enjoy the autumn sunny days. Exercise is vital to promote healthy physical and mental well-being and the Badgeworth team support residents going outside as much as possible.
Ukuleles Echo Around the Courtyard
On a glorious morning Badgeworth Court the residents enjoyed being entertained by the Cheltenham Ukulele band. The beautiful sounds echoed throughout our lovely courtyard. Thank you to Julie and the team for such a wonderful performance.
Badgeworth Court Residents and Team Present Fundraising Cheque to Alzheimer's Society
The Badgeworth Court team and residents were delighted to present the cheque from the proceeds of the summer fair and raffle to the Alzheimer’s Society. General Manager, Rosalynn welcomed Jackie Chellin who is a volunteer Dementia Friends Ambassador for the Alzheimer's Society.
Residents and family members all sat out in the sun enjoying morning coffee and cake as Rosalynn thanked the Badgeworth team and families for supporting the summer fair, with a special mention to our receptionist Michelle, whose tenacity and hard work sourced some wonderful raffle prize donations which made the raffle such a success.
Jackie introduced herself and her role for the Alzheimer's Society. Not only is Jackie part of an advisory team in Cheltenham running information sessions, but she also a fund raiser for the society including running half marathons. Jackie also spoke about the work of the charity which includes research, advancing diagnosis and treatment as well as lobbying parliament to ensure those who need care are getting the right care for them.
The home have raised a fantastic £408.50 for this very important cause and it is a charity close to our hearts we will continue to support.
Tea with a Pony
Badgeworth Court visited Cheltenham racecourse to have ‘tea with a pony’ with the Cotswold Riding for the Disabled. It was such an enjoyable afternoon and for our residents it revisited memories from their childhood. Our resident Mima told us that ‘it was a lovely afternoon I so enjoyed getting to meet the ponies’.
Badgeworth Court would like to say a huge thank you to all the team at Cotswold Riding for Disabled, they made us feel very welcome!
Entertainment on the Sunny Terrace
Badgeworth Court welcomed Anna Tharia, who sang some of our favourite songs from the 50s and 60s. It was lovely to spend time in the garden enjoying the music with tea and cake.
