Activities at The Cedars Bourne Care Home

In order to support residents’ relatives and friends, and the local community, Barchester’s Cedars Care Home in Bourne held a special dementia themed event as part of their regular weekly community coffee morning.

On Wednesday the dementia coffee morning hosted residents from other care homes, as well as visitors from the community, to provide support for friends and family living with dementia, or for those who think a loved one may have dementia.  It provided a chance to find out about coping strategies, how to get a diagnosis and what support is available from like-minded people.  We enjoyed a cuppa, a slice of cake and a chance to relax and unwind together.

Excitement was in the air at The Cedars Care Home in Bourne, where residents and staff have been busy making Coronation-themed decorations and baking up a storm of red, white and blue cakes and pastries with the help of head chef Richard Parrott in preparation for the King’s Coronation on May 6.

Across our services Residents had a wonderful time participating in an interactive virtual talk with Pippa Catterall, Professor of History and Policy at the University of Westminster, where we delved into the rich history of coronations.

During the talk, we explored fascinating topics such as the coronation chair, the crown, and other significant aspects related to King Charles' upcoming coronation. Our residents were thrilled to have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the memoirs of past coronations from 1937 and 1953, as well as learning about the coronation oath and what to expect from the ceremony, including the music, guests, and pageantry.
