The Cat With No Name and Activities At Charnley House

Our residents have been enjoying the company of a lifelike toy cat! The cat has been donated by The Rotary club of Hyde. He purrs, cleans his paws and turns on his back for a belly rub. He has settled in really well and the residents love him The only thing is, he needs a name! We have asked all the residents what they would like him to be called and all of the names will be going in a hat and drawn at random. The name will be revealed soon.

We’ve been able to have some visits recently, which have gone down very well after such a long time with no relatives allowed. Our residents have also been enjoying games of soft ball. As you can see, it’s a highly contested sport!

April Activities At Bank Close House Care Home Chesterfield

Our residents really enjoyed participating in Easter crafts, especially making our own Easter bonnets!

Our hallway looked beautiful and colourful as it was decorated with hand made Easter eggs, which the residents had created and hung on our Easter tree.

Everyone wore their own crafted Easter bonnets on Easter Sunday and we all enjoyed an Easter lunch followed by a glass of fizz!

We had a small raffle over Easter, which raised a grand total of £81.50. This money has gone into the residents’ fund for future activities. A huge THANK-YOU to all who bought a Raffle Ticket.

Saturday 10th April was Grand National Day and our Residents all picked out a couple of horses at random. We excitedly watched the race on TV in the lounge and there were a few shots and whistles towards the end to cheer the winner, Minella Times, on to victory!

Our residents have also enjoyed playing Bingo, ball games and 10 pin bowling, with fierce competition.
