Life at Badgeworth Court Care Home
Wear It Pink Day
The residents and team members enjoyed the pink afternoon tea in our reception. It was a lovely afternoon with beautiful pink decorations, cupcakes, lemonade strawberries, sing along and sharing memories with our residents. It was great to see the residents enjoying the pink afternoon for such a great cause.
Also, on the previous day they decorated the cupcakes and prepare sweet bags for a sale on the pink afternoon. However we would like to do a bit more and we will continue to support this cause.
So, on Friday 23rd October we will invite the residents and team members to “Wear it Pink”.
Hospitality Champion
Debbie Murcott was crowned as the national winner in the Hospitality Champion category at the 2020 Barchester Care Awards, held virtually on 8th October.
The awards celebrate staff and volunteers who go the extra mile for the benefit of residents and patients living in Barchester care homes and independent hospitals.
More than 2,800 nominations were received from homes, residents, staff and relatives across the UK this year, which is nearly 1000 more than was received last year. Nominations were sent in by Barchester staff, but many more were also from residents and their families who have praised the fantastic care provided to their loved ones.
All entries have been of a very high standard, and Debbie is thrilled to have been declared as the national winner!
Adapted Tai-Chi
Our adapted Tai-Chi is another form of exercise that been modified to allow our residents who participate to perform all the required exercises from a seated position without risking their safety. It also helps with strength, balance and flexibility.
The residents enjoyed the adapted Tai-Chi in the garden and enjoyed the last summer days of the English weather.
The residents are looking forward to the next session.
Beach Day
The Beach Day took place on the 31st August. Our residents and team members enjoyed the last day of the summer weather. It had something for everyone and brought back their happy memories, such as family holidays and playing on the beach as children.
It was a lovely afternoon and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!
