Violins and Ice Cream!

We've had a fantastic time here at Charley House over the last few weeks.

Everyone had a wonderful time when Helen the violinist visited us and played us a range of lovely music. The residents and staff enjoyed it so much that they got up to dance! Take a look at the images and videos below.

We've also had men's hour in the garden, where we have spend some time in our garden with some of the gents, enjoying the sunshine and reminiscing about past holidays.

And, finally,  we had a visit from the Ice Cream man. The local ice cream van came to visit and our residents all enjoyed a 99 with a flake, whilst sitting outside lapping up the beautiful sunshine.

May Activities At Charnley House

As always, it’s non stop around here, so we thought we’d have a relaxing PJ Day with the residents. Nothing but some good lounging around and chatting, in our pyjamas!!

We’ve been busily drawing round our hands and colouring them in for our hand tree.

And played a “mystery box” game, where residents had to guess what items were in the box by feeling with their hands.

Two of our ladies have celebrated their birthdays, with cake and lots of cards and presents.

And we’ve been cooking up a storm of biscuits on our baking day!

And finally, one particular resident likes nothing more than sneaking off outside and doing some gardening. Looks like we caught him green handed this time!
