Life at Caldy Manor Care Home
Jubilee Tree Planting
Residents are excited about the Platinum Jubilee and we have begun to prepare our gardens. Our Jubilee Tree was planted by Andrea Stabback-Petty, our Resident Ambassador. We have planted pots for our patio in red, white and blue. We have lots of Jubilee celebrations planned over the long weekend.
International Firefighters Day
Residents and staff at Caldy Manor care home in Caldy, honoured their local firefighters by visiting their local fire crew at Saughall Massie Fire Stationto deliver delicious snacks to keep them going and to thank the firefighters stationed there for their selfless service keeping the community safe.
Coinciding with Saint Florian’s Day, International Firefighters’ Day is celebrated around the world. Saint Florian, who was said to be one of the first commanding firefighters of a Roman battalion, saved many lives and is the patron saint of firefighters. The event was created in 1999 after five firefighters died tragically in a wildfire in Australia to highlight the sacrifices made by fire crews around the world who all unite in the fight against one common enemy – fire.
Conversations by the Pond
We had a lovely time joining Henry Slator for an exciting virtual event to discuss his book ‘Conversations at the Pond’.
Henry had an unusual writing journey, which many of our residents found inspiring, he underwent chemotherapy in early 2020, which allowed him to rediscover his light-hearted outlook on life by imagining conversations with creatures in and around his large garden pond and adding buckets of fun.
The entertaining Conversations at the Pond, with its mass of colourful illustrations, took our residents along his journey, they felt inspired, cheered and loved hearing all about Henry’s experiences.
Easter egg hunt
Rosemary Burns, resident, enjoyed watching her grandchildren take part in our Easter Egg Hunt in the gardens at Caldy Manor. We had a wonderful afternoon together.
Residents hop to it!
Staff and residents at Barchester’s Caldy Manor care home have been having fantastic fun welcoming the Easter Bunny to Caldy Manor for a visit. Residents received a bag of chocolate goodies and sweets to keep them going over Easter Week. The Easter Bunny, accompanied by Alice danced and performed songs for our cheering residents and staff.
General Manager, Hannah Roberts, said: ‘Activities staff and volunteers have worked hard to raise extra funds for our residents to enjoy treats at Easter time’ Enda Vincent, a resident said: “I loved meeting the Easter Bunny and getting my chocolate treats’.
Ladies Day
The ladies at our home had a great excuse to put on their elegant clothes and hats in recognition of the Ladies Day at the Grand National, held annually at Aintree Racecourse.
The day is held alongside horse racing, and is famous not only for the action on the course, but the fashion and entertainment of it.
