Activities at Rose Water Place Care Home

We had an absolute blast — the fabulous Madame kept us all singing, laughing, and letting loose with a few cheeky games of bingo! The energy was high, the smiles were endless, and the room was full of joy. 

Most importantly, together we raised funds for Breast Cancer Kent, supporting the incredible work they do. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us — your generosity and good spirits made the day so special.

What a wonderful day we had on Friday — full of laughter, sunshine, and smiles all around! Residents, families, and staff came together to enjoy a day of fun and games. Magician Andy amazed us all with his incredible tricks, while classic favourites like hook-a-duck, face painting, sports day races, and the lively tombola kept everyone entertained. 

The children especially loved soaking each other in the stocks — and the adults enjoyed watching just as much! Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the day so special. We can’t wait for the next one!

Our residents enjoyed a peaceful morning surrounded by colourful blooms, gentle scents, and plenty of smiles. It was the perfect chance to relax, chat, and take in the beauty of the gardens. And of course, no outing is complete without coffee and cake in the cosy café — a real treat! 

Thank you to Rumwood for such a lovely visit. We’re already looking forward to our next trip back.  

The sun was shining, and a gentle breeze rustled the leaves in the trees while we enjoyed a lovely picnic in Mote Park, a historic park in Maidstone with 13th century buildings.

We walked along the path, watching ducks swim in the pond and children laughing as they played on the swings. The scent of fresh grass and blooming flowers filled the air, and we all enjoyed the sunshine!

We had an absolute blast at our garden Hoe Down Party last week! A huge THANK YOU to C and G Line Dancing for coming out and teaching us some fantastic line dancing moves — the garden was full of fun, laughter, and a whole lot of boot-scootin’!

Our residents looked the part in their cowboy hats and boots, and we all enjoyed some delicious hotdogs under the summer sun.

It was a day to remember, filled with music, movement, and smiles all around. 

What a fabulous afternoon we’ve had at Rosewater Place! Residents gathered to enjoy the excitement of Royal Ascot in true British style — cheering on the races with a refreshing Pimm’s, a delightful cream tea, and of course, strawberries and cream!

There were smiles all round, a few friendly bets on the favourites (strictly for fun!), and lots of laughter as we brought a touch of Ascot glamour to our lounge. Hats off to the wonderful staff who made it all possible — and a big cheers to summer traditions!
