Spring is Sprung at Bank Close House Care Home Chesterfield

Spring is in the air and our residents have been decorating their own glass jars to put fresh flowers in for the tables in the dining room and conservatory.

It was “Eyes Down” for Bingo, which was enjoyed by all. Well Done to the winners Jean, Mabel and David.

Our residents have been decorating mini Easter Eggs and displayed them on an Easter Tree which is in the main hall-way for all to see. We will be decorating Easter Bonnets and Easter Baskets over the next few days and having an Easter Bonnet parade.

Tesco Community Champions Jane and Karen dropped off a selection of CDs and an Easter Egg to go into our Easter Raffle. Our Easter Raffle will be held and drawn on 6th April 2021 – we are seeking additional donations towards this, so if anyone can contribute please let us know.

March Activities at Charnley House Care Home In Hyde

Our residents have had a lovely, and very busy, time over the last few weeks.

We’ve been making Easter bonnets and having an Easter bonnet competition. Best bonnet wins a large Easter egg, so you can imagine, the competition was fierce!

We’ve had plenty of other activities going on as well, from arts and crafts to games afternoons and dancing.

We’ve had chat time, which everyone enjoys, where our activities co-ordinator spends one to one time with each resident just having a good old natter.

And we’ve had visits from family members who are seeing their loved ones for the first time in many months.

Our dedicated team have also had their Covid vaccines. They are all now a #VaccineHero!

Tesco Community Champions Visit Bank Close House

It was a wonderful surprise today when we were  visited by the lovely Jane and Karen, Community Champions from Tesco.

They came to the door and delivered a lovely donation box (pictured below).  They were so nice to the team as we answered the door and they wished everyone to Stay Safe.

This past year has been a difficult one for most people, but what it has brought is a lovely sense of community and a team spirit that we hope remains long after the pandemic is over.

Thank you so much to Tesco and to the very kind Jane and Karen.
