Activities at Meadow Park Care Home

Today we ventured to Blyth football club, to join MIND Active and the community for another wonderful Christmas Party.

We were greeted with a Buck’s Fizz reception, everyone feeling a little merry, piped in by a Northumberland Piper.

Then devoured a three course lunch, home made broth, Christmas Dinner and Cheesecake for pudding, with most of us having seconds! We then enjoyed the rest of the afternoon, with live entertainment, a quiz, and a raffle, with three of us winning a prize 

Our residents look forward to these outings, Mind Active do a wonderful job, their staff and volunteers make our residents feel welcome and ensure we all have a great time.

Residents have been full of busy today, preparing for our forthcoming cake and vake sale event

With a little help from our kitchen staff, residents have enjoyed icing and decorating cupcakes, which will be on sale tomorrow.

The team and residents have supported a very important organisation today Children In Need. The team and residents dressed up in spots and ears raising a total of £60.00 via a football and domino cards. Chef Mark baked some lovely scones and cupcakes with donations greatly received from our lovely families

Residents took to the streets of Bedlington to remember and pay their respects on Remembrance Sunday. We ventured to the local Cenotaph to say prayers and lay wreaths being laid in memory of those that lost their life’s for us. Remembrance Sunday is marked across the country every year and we are really  proud to be able to congregate with the local community again this year to pay our respects

On the 11th hour, of the 11th day of the 11th month, we will remember them. The Armistice, an agreement to end the fighting of the First World War.

Meadow Park Care Home had a treat in store for their resident bookworms on September 13th as residents all joined in to celebrate the wonderful work of Roald Dahl.
