Activities at Station Court Care Home

During the national period of mourning, we’ve spent time reminiscing and celebrating the memory and reign of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.  Our hearts were heavy following the very sad news but together we took some time to reflect in her extraordinary life.

We held our own mourning service with our volunteer Paulette, from the Holy Sepulchre church, we reminisced of brighter times and residents made beautiful flower arrangements with her favourite flower ‘lily of the valley’ and heather to represent Balmoral and lovely cakes for our afternoon tea in our queens honour

We know the importance of supporting our local community and now hold monthly dementia cafes, specifically for those living with dementia or caring for a loved one. We were thrilled so many joined us this month for good company, delicious cakes and a chat to our dementia champions in the home, along with special guest Lynda Goodlet to begin peoples journey on creating bespoke memory books funded by the national lottery. A fabulous afternoon was had by all.

Residents had a glorious day visiting South Beach.  They thoroughly enjoyed tucking into delicious Fish and Chips with views of the seafront at the Dave Stephenson Centre and learnt of Blyth’s sea history from Stephen with the Mind Active Team. Before having a stroll along the promenade enjoying an ice cream and taking in the sun, sea and sand.

Wow what a brilliant day everyone had at our Hawaiian themed summer Fete!   It was brilliant to see so many family and friends joining us in our garden for various stalls, games, fun, food and live entertainment from the brilliant Musical Memories.

Celebrations have been in full swing at Station Court Care Home as one of its residents reaches her 101ST in style.

Jen Bell, was joined by family, staff and friends as she celebrated her landmark birthday. A special garden party was held in Station Court’s garden and everyone enjoyed singing and dancing to live entertainment from swing vocalist Michael Stevens. Everyone raised a glass of prosecco toasting her milestone birthday and birthday cake was enjoyed by all. 

Our homes had a brilliant time with curator Sarah Deters as she took us on a virtual ‘Music Through the Ages’ tour of St Cecilia’s Hall: Concert Room and Music Museum.

Our residents were thrilled to discover weird and wonderful musical instruments, hear their unusual sounds, and find out how instruments have changed over the last 500 years.

The virtual live event explored the world-renown collection of musical instruments on display at St Cecilia’s Hall, Scotland’s oldest concert hall.
