Activities at Pentland View Care Home

Staff and residents across our homes were treated to an interactive virtual Christmas-inspired table decorating masterclass, courtesy of talented master florist, Kathryn Delve.  

Kathryn is an independent florist based in Somerset, she specialises in creating unique wedding and event flowers.  She takes much of her inspiration for her displays from the beautiful scenery that surrounds her home and the changing seasons and colours.

During the workshop, residents were invited to join Kathryn to make beautiful Christmas-themed table decorations. 
 

Cycling Without Age Scotland, Thurso Chapter is up and running! As such, they have been in touch when the weather cooperates and have taken residents out for rides on their trishaw! We have also had family out with residents recently. It’s a lovely way to see the town and enjoy the nice days when they come! Our record breaking cyclist, Willie, sure did enjoy his time out and was telling them all about how he peddled without gears! Here we have Rena and Willie enjoying their trip out and along the beach.

After 30 years at Pentland View, our manager, Morag, recently retired. To mark the occasion we threw a tipsy tea party to celebrate all that she has done for Pentland View over the years. Residents, staff and guests enjoyed cocktails and a trolley full of delicious nibbles and baking. A good time was had by all. We sincerely hope that Morag enjoys her well- deserved retirement!

Residents are always delighted to see the people and animals from the animal park turn up for a visit! This month we enjoyed cuddles with a tiny 5 week old guinea pig named Ginge, as well as with his larger counterparts. There were also tortoises, bunnies and a fan favourite Sid the Snake! Residents, staff and visitors all enjoyed their time with the lovely menagerie.

We recently celebrated the retirement of the homes long serving General Manager, Morag who has been a integral member of the homes team for the last 30-years and will be missed by the team, residents, families and friends. 

We hosted a ‘tipsy tea’ party and we wish her well as she enjoys some well deserved rest and relaxation in her retirement! Lots of love and best wishes from the residents and staff and your well deserved retirement.

Molly recently celebrated her 90th birthday in style! After getting all glammed up she headed to the lounge to open her presents and celebrate with her fellow residents. Afterwards she very much enjoyed a slice of her lovely birthday cake! To top off  day of celebrating all things Molly, she enjoyed the visit from the Caithness animal Farm and even held a snake!!
