Festive Fun at Rotherwood Care Home in Rotherham

The residents and staff at Rotherwood have had some great fun in the build up to Christmas.

We have enjoyed Christmas Arts & Crafts throughout the month where we have enjoyed making Christmas cards for our loved ones. We have also enjoyed using Lego this month, this has helped some of our residents with focusing and stimulation.

Rotherwood’s Choir have been practising throughout the month for an afternoon Christmas performance, which all residents and staff thoroughly enjoyed taking part in!

On the 1st of December we enjoyed a visit from Father Christmas at Rotherwood. We had hot chocolates, coffees and all residents enjoyed a little present from Father Christmas before he arrives on the 25th of December.

We enjoyed our Christmas Party on the 19th December. We enjoyed mocktails, mince pies, a beautiful buffet and a live singer where we danced the afternoon away. Everyone at Rotherwood really enjoyed celebrating the festive season, and thanked singer Nikki for visiting and making the afternoon so enjoyable.
