Activities at Fountains Care Home

This Easter, our community was filled with laughter, memories, and a whole lot of chocolate as the Easter Bunny made a special visit to our residents. With a basket full of colourful eggs and a heart full of joy, the Bunny hopped from room to room, bringing smiles to every face.

Residents giggled like children as they shared stories of Easters past—memories of egg hunts, handmade bonnets, and the excitement of their own kids and great-grandchildren discovering treasures hidden in the garden. The air was filled with warmth and nostalgia as they reminisced and joined in the fun. The Easter Bunny’s visit reminded us all that joy has no age limit, and sometimes, a little “happiness” is all you need to make a day truly special.

The atmosphere at Fountains Care Home was truly electric as residents fully embraced the vibrant energy brought in by our special Hollywood dancer and live performances. The home was alive with music, laughter, and movement as residents joyfully joined in, donning bright, colourful accessories that added to the festive spirit of the day.

It was heart-warming to see so many smiles and sparkling eyes as residents clapped, sang along, and even got up for a little dance. The uplifting music and glamorous routines brought back cherished memories and created new ones that will be treasured by all.

A huge thank you goes out to our incredible staff, who went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt included and supported. Their encouragement and enthusiasm helped residents feel confident and excited to participate, and their dancing alongside the residents made the event even more special. Days like these remind us just how powerful music, movement, and community can be in bringing joy and connection to our Fountains family.

A huge shoutout to our incredible team, families, and residents who came together to make this event a success. We had a fantastic time raising money for the Barchester Foundation.

At Fountains, Mother's Day was filled with love and joy! With flowers in the air and families gathered around, you could truly feel the warmth and affection. Residents and their loved ones were amazed by the beautiful decor and delighted in our homemade treats while enjoying a special Mother's Day brunch together. A Fantastic celebration that everyone will cherish!

At Fountains Care Home, we were thrilled to host a special live performance by the talented dancers from Harle Quin Dance Academy. The children showcased a variety of dance styles, leaving our residents in awe of their incredible skill and energy.

The performance not only entertained but also sparked joy and nostalgia. Afterward, the young dancers graciously handed out flowers and took the time to interact with our residents. Many shared beautiful memories of their younger days, reminiscing about times when they too would dance. The feedback and praise exchanged between the generations created a heart-warming atmosphere, full of smiles and shared connections.

It was a truly magical day, and we’re so grateful to Harley Quin Dance Academy for bringing such talent and joy to Fountains!
