balloon fun - care home Hyde 3

Fun, Flowers, and a Bit of Boogie at Charnley House!

It’s been a fun and activity-packed time here at Charnley House, with our residents enjoying a variety of sessions that brought smiles, laughter, and a few impressive skills to the surface!

We kicked things off with some balloon fun – our residents loved throwing colourful balloons onto a playground parachute, bouncing them between each other and sharing plenty of giggles along the way.

Next up, we turned up the music and had a dance session to the classic sounds of The Drifters. There was toe-tapping, hip-swaying, and lots of laughter as everyone joined in for a boogie. It’s safe to say, we’ve still got the moves!

We also enjoyed a calming and creative afternoon of flower arranging. With a lovely selection of fresh blooms, our residents crafted beautiful bouquets, each one as unique and vibrant as the person who made it. The lounge has never looked (or smelled!) so good.

To round off the week, we had a go at ring toss. It was all in good fun, and we even handed out little prizes to everyone who gave it a try. Truth be told, the residents were much better at it than we were!

care home Rotherham - trip to Clifton Park 1

Spring Adventures at Rotherwood Care Home

Last week, we made the most of the spring sunshine with a lovely walk to Clifton Park. Our residents enjoyed a peaceful stroll through the beautiful Clifton Park Gardens before heading into the museum for a wander around the exhibits. We rounded off the morning with a well-deserved coffee and slice of cake, before returning home to Rotherwood where a delicious chicken lunch was waiting for us.

Later in the week, some of our lovely ladies headed out for a shopping trip to the local supermarket. There were plenty of smiles as they enjoyed browsing the clothing section—and even treating themselves to something new! A stop at Greggs for a bite to eat and a good natter made the day extra special.
