Activities at Meadowbeck Care Home

Our residents from around the home gathered together to join Maggie for our musical moments session, once again another fabulous afternoon with lots of singing and dancing using fun sensory props whilst shaking their tail feathers with a lot of shimmying going on.

Everyone enjoyed singing along as Maggie played musical instruments, and we had a Dawn French quiz with the theme music from vicar of Dibley.

We had a wonderful afternoon and lovely to see so much laughter and smiles fill the room.

We hosted our cheese & wine evening where everyone gathered together taking the opportunity to socialise and make new friends.

Everyone got to try a selection of tasty cheeses accompanied with a selection of wines to suit each individual’s preferences, alcohol free sparkling beverages were on offer for those that prefer.

The wensleydale with cranberries and creamy brie were the most popular choice of the evening, whilst a couple of our ladies like a blue cheese.

The evening was a great success with lots of laughter, and it was lovely to hear the cheerful chatter.

Why not come along and join us for our next one.

Residents and team members were delighted when we welcomed Joe, from joesowls encounters and mobile zoo in to the home with his two Alpacas Mr Bubbles and Colin.

Mr Bubbles and Colin went around the home where our residents and team members were only too happy to make a fuss of them and chatting with Joe to learn all about them, they were ever so friendly, it was lovely to see the delight they brought to our residents (and staff).

We had such a wonderful day at our summer fair which was held in our garden with the sun shining, residents gathered together from around the home joined by their families and friends in the community, where everyone enjoyed entertainment from the wonderful Maggie Baker and fun games provided.

It was great to see all the children playing having fun with the garden games provided, with our residents and the children making  sure they got their family and staff members in the stocks!

Our ladies joined Tina in the lounge for the evening for a little pamper and relaxation time where they experienced a relaxing hand soak, using sensory beads with a soothing hand massage to follow.

The ladies chatted together with a glass of wine as they decided from a selection of nail polishes, taking in the scents of the essential oils diffuser and light, as relaxing music played softly in the background.  The ladies commented saying what a relaxed feel to the evening and smelt like been at a spa.

What a wonderful evening!

Residents across our services had a fantastic time joining Mandy Morrow for a virtual walking tour to learn about the ‘Herstory’ of Mayfair. The Mayfair of Nightingales may be long gone but it still holds a 20th century charm. Birthplace to the late Queen Elizabeth II, home to one of WWII's most decorated female war heroes and a tale of a wealthy Aristocrat and one of France's favourite designers.

We were delighted to take a walk down memory lane and discover stories from one of London's most iconic areas.  The experience was truly enjoyed by all.
