Life at Caldy Manor Care Home
Burns celebrations at Caldy Manor
Caldy Manor care home in Caldy prepared a traditional Burns Night Supper to the tune of bagpipes and the fun continued well into the night.
Staff and residents at the home were involved in a number of activities for example a Scottish quiz, listening to some traditional Scottish music in addition to some Robert Burns poems and watching a documentary on Scottish history to celebrate Burns night together.
General Manager, Hannah, at Caldy Manor, thought it was a perfect occasion to celebrate an evening steeped in age-old tradition as well as getting in a spot of some Scotch whisky tasting and reading a selection of Burns’ poems.
Paper Flower Arranging
To celebrate international flower day the residents had a go at some flower arranging. We started off by using glue to stick tissue paper onto a template of a flower and the residents enjoyed using loads of different colours and scrunching the tissue paper. Then we made flower bouquets and placed them into jars and displayed them on the tables in the dining room so the residents to enjoy looking at their creations.
Getting Creative
The residents tested their artistic skills by painting on canvases using acrylic paints. We had an example photo which the residents used as a template but all ended up with very different and unique designs using their preferred colours and brush stroke techniques. We then stuck on cut out of birds and all in all the residents were very proud of their work. We then displayed their pieces in the home for everyone to see.
Elvis day
We enjoyed a lovely fulfilled afternoon celebrating Elivs’ 89th birthday. The residents thoroughly enjoyed dressing up, singing and dancing to all their favourite Elvis songs. This was followed by a quiz all about Elvis and the residents were filled with joy and had smiles on their faces all day!
Pamper day
We all love being pampered, so what better time to do it than Christmas. We had gingerbread moisturiser and bubble soak to keep us in the festive spirit. Our pamper days include foot spa, foot massage, nails trimmed and painted and finished off with a lovely massage. This is a really nice time to have that individual time with residents and staff and really engage with each other.
Elf day
Today we enjoyed all our naughty elves coming to have some fun with the residents. The staff thoroughly enjoyed dressing up which our resident’s really enjoy seeing this side to the staff. We hid some elves around the home which the staff really enjoyed taking part in specially when the winner won a bottle of wine!
