Life at Longueville Court Care Home
Celebrating Cupcake Week with Sailability
Residents made cupcakes for the volunteers at our local Sailablity to celebrate Cupcake week. They were very much appreciated
Summer Fete
Longueville Court's Summer Fete was so successful that a story about it was published in our local paper. People from all over the community stopped by to enjoy food, games and entertainment during an uncharacteristically sunny day in Britain.
Water Wheel Challenge
Three residents entered into the Water Wheel Challenge at our local country park. The challenge consisted of a sail around a course on the lake, followed by a bike ride. There were 44 other competitors from a variety of homes who entered into the challenge, who all received a certificate and medal at the end. The weather was good to us as the sun was shining throughout the event. All three residents thoroughly enjoyed the exhilarating day out and cant wait for next year's challenge.
