Life at Westgate House Care Home
Pudding Club
This month’s pudding club was held yesterday. The activities team held a reminiscence morning with our residents about pudding recipes and baking memories from years gone by. Three recipes where chosen sweet potato pudding, coconut cake and tea loaf pudding. Our chef then expertly made the puddings. We held a taster session for all to join in and vote on their favourite pudding. The winner was the coconut cake!! A big thank you to everyone who took part.
A trip to the pub for lunch
Our residents went out for a pub lunch yesterday. They enjoyed a nice walk, and built up an appetite. We all had a great meal, washed down with a lovely drink. Everyone had a lovely time.
National Cheese lovers day
Our residents celebrated National Cheese Lovers Day by having a cheese and wine tasting event, which went down a treat. They enjoyed the different types of cheese, washed down with the wine. Everyone was happy.
Christmas Raffle
On the 23rd December we announced the winners of our Christmas raffle. We had some lovely Christmas hampers and other goodies up for grabs. A big thank you to everyone who purchased a ticket. We managed to raise £214 towards our resident's fund.
A lovely visit from Citizen UK
We had a lovely visit from Citizen UK and some children from St. Anthony’s primary school. They sang Christmas carols outside our home and shared some mulled wine and mince pies. The residents watched from the windows as it was very cold but they enjoyed the performance. Some staff went out to join in the fun and enjoy the treats.
Jack and the Beanstalk - Christmas Pantomime
As part of our Christmas activities programme, on Friday 9th December we had the Carousel theatre company come along and perform Jack and the Beanstalk pantomime for our residents. It was a lot of fun and the residents really enjoyed it. It really got us all in the Christmas spirit.
