Life at Longueville Court Care Home
Sponsored Walk!
Today we, Lisa from Hampton Grove and Tracie and Lesley from Werrington Lodge activities, did a sponsored walk around the ham trail in Ferry Meadows to raise money for the Barchester foundation charity.
It was a great morning. The sun was shining, and it was all for a good cause.
Easter Weekend!
Over the Easter weekend we had a lot happening. We had the Easter egg delivered to each resident’s room, and an Easter tea afternoon with Lesley.
Vikki also held a 'find the Easter bunny' competition for the kiddies, which was a huge success. The kids and residents really had a fun afternoon. It really was a wonderful weekend.
St George's Day!
This afternoon we celebrated St George’s Day with a party. We had some very special guests from our sister homes, Werrington Lodge and Hampton Grove.
Our residents really enjoyed meeting their fellow residents from our other homes. It was a wonderful afternoon with dancing, singing and lots of laughs...
The longest yarn
Our residents enjoyed a trip to Peterborough Cathedral for the Longest yarn event. Our residents really enjoyed viewing all the knitted scenes that told the story of the D-Day landings and it being the 80th anniversary.
It was an emotional but nice afternoon.
Red Nose Day!
To celebrate Red Nose Day and also fabulous fruity Friday for nutrition and hydration week we did had a very different style coffee morning, we had everything red, right down to the drinks.
It was very well received by the residents and family members.
