Residents enjoyed a traditional haggis lunch, tables decorated with Saltire flags and plenty of toe-tapping live music throughout the afternoon. There was lots of singing, clapping and smiling, making it a relaxed and joyful daytime celebration for everyone!

What a truly magical day at Iverley View! 

We were over the moon to welcome Santa himself to Iverley View, and what an unforgettable visit it was!
The children had lots of fun decorating gingerbread men and writing letters to Santa.
We also enjoyed live music, and a special Secret Santa exchange and staff gifts, spreading kindness, appreciation, and festive spirit among our amazing team 
Thank you to everyone who helped make this day so special, it truly was a fun packed, joyful day full of Christmas cheer!

Today we are celebrating a very special milestone for a very special man. Tony, you are such a treasured part of life here at Iverley View Care Home, and we feel incredibly lucky to celebrate your 80th birthday with you.

Many residents find joy in forming new bonds, supporting one another, and sharing memories from their lives. These relationships help reduce feelings of loneliness, boost confidence, and create a warm, supportive community where everyone feels valued.

Christmas time gave us an opportunity to add a splash of Fun to Christmas tree decoration.
It was a great team effort by residents, staff, volunteers, families and Crafting for the community who all came together to make decorations for our first ever sensory tree in Iverley View.
Many people with dementia have some kind of sensory impairment, such as sight loss, hearing loss, or both. Tactile fabrics and memory evoking smells can create opportunities for positive experiences and memories. 
By making the decorations from fabrics, wool and clay our residents practised skills they have used in their past, enjoyed team work engaging with others, and sense of achievement to hang their decorations on the tree together.
We love sharing moments like this with our residents.

90 years young and what a beautiful celebration for our wonderful Sallie! 

Sallie celebrated her incredible 90th birthday surrounded by her loving family, friends and our amazing team, all coming together to make her day truly special. The room was filled with laughter, stories, smiles and so much love.

A huge thank you to our talented Chef Matt for baking a delicious birthday cake especially for Sallie, it certainly didn’t last long! 

It was a joy to see everyone together to honour such a special milestone. Happy 90th birthday Sallie, you are simply fabulous! 

Love from all the team at Iverley View xxx

National Pizza Day!
Our residents got hands-on creating their very own pizzas, spreading the sauce, choosing toppings, and adding plenty of cheese along the way.
A lovely activity encouraging choice, independence, and a bit of foodie fun — and of course, the best part was enjoying the finished pizzas together.

Our pamper day was a lovely opportunity for residents to relax and enjoy having their nails painted, with plenty of smiles, chats and feel-good moments shared throughout the day, promoting relaxation, confidence and wellbeing!  We love helping everyone feel special and well cared for.

Elvis was in the building to shake, rattle and switch on the lights! 

We had an unforgettable, amazing afternoon at Iverley View as our very own Elvis joined us to officially light up the home for Christmas! 

Residents, families and staff were all ‘shook up’ by his amazing performance, it was brilliant!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the fun, music, great food, and magical lights!

Long live the King….. and long live the Christmas cheer! 

Elvis has now left the building!!!! What a great turn out, bring Elvis back!!
