This week at Rotherwood care home in Rotherham we have been enjoying some Halloween Crafts and have loved decorating our home in time for our Halloween Party!
We've had interactive colourful fun with balloons and the parachute sheet.
Residents have made delicious chocolate cupcakes, which went down a treat with a lovely cup of tea.
Rotherwood Care Home in Rotherham has been a hive of activity and fun for residents over the last few weeks.
Our resident enjoyed a shopping trip to Park Gate Retail World, followed by a coffee at Asda.
There have been lots of fun goings on recently at Charnley House.
Our residents have been making their own delicious trifles (some with more cream on the top than others)
We've had some rather competitive games of giant snakes and ladders
And have been colouring in a large I Love Manchester poster, which now has pride of place on display
We've also had a sing along and some dancing too. Staff and residents alike enjoyed themselves thoroughly.

Here at Rotherwood, we have been enjoying our ‘Beach Day.’
We enjoyed out Mocktails while dipping our feet into the water, and sand to experience the feel of the beach. We have laughed, danced and sung throughout the afternoon listening to wartime classics while we have enjoyed the sunny weather.
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.
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!
Charnley House has been a hive of activity over the past few weeks, with an especially busy week in the run up to the King’s Coronation.
We made decorations and baked red white and blue cupcakes and had a fantastic picnic lunch to celebrate. We all watched the Coronation and celebrations with sheer delight, and a little glass of fizz to accompany, and waved our flags along the way!
