Our residents have been very busy over the last few weeks.
We’ve had a visit from the hairdresser, which everyone always enjoys.
They’ve enjoyed having their own ice cream milkshakes and a delicious bowl of fresh fruits
And a highly competitive game of softball has taken place!
Our second lot of residents took to the water yesterday on a boat trip. As you can see from all the smiling faces, the day was enjoyed by all!

Meg has been celebrating her birthday. We had tea and cake and Meg got some lovely presents and cards from friends and family.
It’s been all go here at Charnley House residential nursing home in Hyde over the past few weeks!
The residents have enjoyed time interacting with Newton the cat, which was donated by the Rotary Club of Hyde. The lifelike cat toy purrs, cleans his paws and turns on his back for a belly rub.
The residents have been showing their artistic side with some lovely colouring of summer flowers, and we’ve had a little bit of a pamper day where some of our ladies had their nails painted.
Whilst the weather has been fine, our residents have enjoyed lazing away the days in the sunshine, with drinks and a good old chin wag!
It’s been a while, but our residents finally got a visit from the hairdressers again. They were all over the moon to have their hair done again after such a long time without being able to see the hairdresser.
Don’t you think they all look wonderful?
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!
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 a busy few weeks here at Charnley House care home in Hyde.
Our residents have had great fun getting to know their inner artist at our art class and absolutely loved the recent 60’s themed day, where everyone got to dress up and sing along. We even had a range of musical props, which everyone found very amusing! The residents had also made some decorative artwork for the walls especially for the event.
The residents here at Charnley House residential care home in Hyde had a wonderful time over the Christmas holidays.
We had entertainment, games and crafts, including making Christmas cards and festive decorations, as well as birthday celebrations. We had carol singing and a Christmas party, where everyone was very jolly and we all wore our Christmas jumpers and hats.
Our local Morrisons have also, very kindly, donated some bulbs in pots, which our residents are nurturing so that hopefully we’ll have some beautiful spring flowers to bring some colour to the home.
