Activities at The Cedars Bourne Care Home

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.

The Cedars Care Home, in Bourne was full of animal mischief on Wednesday when Michelle’s Petting Party came to visit the residents and their young guests from Busy Bees Nursery and Pre-school.  Residents at The Cedars Care Home wanted to send the Busy Bees 2023 leavers off in style to thank them for their weekly visits throughout the year. Therefore, they decided to host a petting party on their last visit of term. The children were thrilled to see rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, dogs, a chicken and a bearded dragon; and were excited to share this experience with the friends that they have made here at The Cedars.

Residents across our homes had a fantastic time during a special live virtual event in celebration on National Ice Cream Day. Wall’s team took us on a great journey through history, sharing fascinating details about the brand since its launch in 1922. We learned about major innovations such as the introduction of Mr Whippy, Cornetto, Viennetta, Twister, and Carte d'Or.

Residents were treated to a singalong to Cornetto classic ads, an interactive quiz about fun Wall’s facts and best-of-all, an ice-cream tasting session. It was a delightful experience for everyone, especially our ice-cream lovers.

Local harpist John Dalton performed a selection of classic hits including Instrumental Spanish Flamenco, traditional songs such as Jerusulem and popular songs such as We’ll Meet Again and Rock Around The Clock.

Across of homes residents had a fantastic time during a special live virtual event, led by Jennifer and Emily from Dogs Trust, the UK's largest dog welfare charity. Jennifer and Emily took us on a journey to discover the rich history of Dogs Trust and their facilities.

Using captivating video and photo footage, our residents were able to explore rehoming centres and learn more about the highest level of welfare offered there. It was a delightful experience for everyone, especially our dog lovers.
