Life at Magnolia Court Care Home

National Dog Day!

Our residents and staff had a fantastic time learning more about different dog breeds and their characteristics, discussing and reminiscing about their own pets. We all had a great time watching him run around and play with the ball. Of course, he got lots of hugs too!

National Beer day. Cheers!

National Beer Day!

We had a fun-filled day as we raised a glass and tasted top ales in celebration of National Beer Day on 15th of June.

Our residents enjoyed a mini beer festival in the garden and got involved in a variety of interesting activities.

Some of our residents spent time learning about brewing and the history of beer, others preferred to join the beer tasting session in the garden and to try some British beers.

It was a wonderful day, enjoyed by all.

Pet therapy at Magnolia Court.

Pet Therapy.

Pet Therapy is one of our most treasured Activities here at Magnolia Court Care home and we are lucky to have cuddles with a different type of Animal each time. This week we had the delight of three kittens named Ringo, Paul and George.

Everyone loves to get involved and it’s no surprise as Animal Therapy is proven to reduce anxiety, provide comfort and mental stimulation.

We can’t wait for Performing Pets to visit us again!

 

Happy Carers Week!

Happy Carers Week!

Magnolia Court would like to take this great opportunity to recognise and thank our wonderful carers.

We are proud of each and every one of our care team for the outstanding care that they provide to our residents every single day. They always go above and beyond their role and for this we are truly grateful.

As part of the week, our carers received numerous donations and gifts from local organisations and businesses and lovely thank you cards from our community members, relatives and friends. Octavian, General Manager organised a party to celebrate and say thank you.

 

Jubilee Celebrations!

Jubilee Celebrations!

What a wonderful bank holiday we had. Excitement was running high all week for the Queens Jubilee and the day did not disappoint.

Residents got together to watch the famous trooping of the colour and and some showed their competitive side with Jubilee inspired board games.

Residents and our lovely relatives enjoy a good sing-a-long and what a perfect opportunity it was to enjoy all the war time classics with live music by our student Volunteers Chloe & Diti.

The Chelsea Flower Show at Magnolia Court!

Residents enjoyed celebrating the Chelsea Flower Show. Our residents had a lovely time making their own floral arrangements and discussing the many vibrant colours of the flowers. Some residents preferred to watch the Chelsea Flower Show and chat over a cup of tea and some delicious homemade cake.
