Activities at Boroughbridge Manor Care Home

Sue said: “It was an absolute pleasure to be able to share the story of the Walls brand with the Barchester residents and hear all their reminiscences about the different ice creams and flavours they have enjoyed over the years.  Mid July is definitely the right time to celebrate Ice Cream Day!”

Bex Vernon, Resident Experience Executive for Barchester Healthcare, commented: “We are excited to work with our amazing partners like Unilever to bring a wide range of fantastic experiences into our homes for all to enjoy.  It was great to see the residents all enjoying the talk and the delicious ice creams on a lovely sunny day, they were so well received.

Residents across our homes had a fantastic time during a special live virtual event in celebration on National Ice Cream Day. Wall’s team took us on a great journey through history, sharing fascinating details about the brand since its launch in 1922. We learned about major innovations such as the introduction of Mr Whippy, Cornetto, Viennetta, Twister, and Carte d'Or.

Residents were treated to a singalong to Cornetto classic ads, an interactive quiz about fun Wall’s facts and best-of-all, an ice-cream tasting session. It was a delightful experience for everyone, especially our ice-cream lovers.

Residents and staff at Boroughbridge Manor Care Home in Boroughbridge were at the ready for the start of Wimbledon on July 3rd with a friendly inter home tennis competition to start the week off!  For the finale everyone enjoyed delicious strawberries and cream and a glass of Pimm’s to celebrate Wimbledon’s final.

Residents across our homes had a fantastic time during a special live virtual event, led by Jennifer and Emily from Dogs Trust, the UK's largest dog welfare charity. Jennifer and Emily took us on a journey to discover the rich history of Dogs Trust and their facilities.

Using captivating video and photo footage, our residents were able to explore rehoming centres and learn more about the highest level of welfare offered there. It was a delightful experience for everyone, especially our dog lovers.

Celebrations have been in full swing at Boroughbridge Manor Care Home as one of its residents reached 103 in style.

Hetty was joined by staff, relatives, friends and other residents to celebrate reaching such a milestone age. A champagne reception was held at the home and guests enjoyed a special afternoon tea, which consisted of a selection of sandwiches, delicious cakes and pastries created by the home’s chef Tony.

Across our services we had a lovely time joining Rhiannon Watkinson from the RAF Museum London for an interactive talk exploring the exciting and innovative aviation history of Hendon.

Our residents were able to learn about the first flights from the fields at Hendon, the creation of the London Aerodrome and Battle of Britain pilots who flew from RAF Hendon.

The talk also included photographic and film material from the Museum’s archive. Residents across our homes had a fantastic time and we truly enjoyed the virtual experience.
