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!
Our residents have been enjoying the festivities at our D-Day celebrations.
We had plenty of games and decorations and a wonderful afternoon tea. As you can see, there were smiles all round.
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 really enjoyed participating in Easter crafts, especially making our own Easter bonnets!
Our hallway looked beautiful and colourful as it was decorated with hand made Easter eggs, which the residents had created and hung on our Easter tree.
Everyone wore their own crafted Easter bonnets on Easter Sunday and we all enjoyed an Easter lunch followed by a glass of fizz!
Our residents have also enjoyed playing Bingo, ball games and 10 pin bowling, with fierce competition.
Spring is in the air and our residents have been decorating their own glass jars to put fresh flowers in for the tables in the dining room and conservatory.
Our residents have been decorating mini Easter Eggs and displayed them on an Easter Tree which is in the main hall-way for all to see. We will be decorating Easter Bonnets and Easter Baskets over the next few days and having an Easter Bonnet parade.
