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.

A lovely Christmas was had by all here at Bank Close House care home in Chesterfield, despite the difficult circumstances in which we all find ourselves at present. Our residents opened their presents on Christmas day and enjoyed a glass of fizz to celebrate the holiday season along with a lovely Christmas dinner.
Our Director’s (Peter Hill) daughter Thalia and her friend Freya hand made Christmas cards for each resident, much to their delight. They all enjoyed opening them and reading them. Thank you Thalia and Freya for your lovely, thoughtful cards, from all at Bank Close House.

Here at Bank Close House residential care home in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, we’ve been very busy with various activities over the last couple of weeks.

Our Residents have been enjoying sing-a-longs and they all would like to set up a Bank Close House Choir!
We have continued with our active games such as Bean Bag Toss, Hoopla, 10 Pin Bowling, Target Game which have got very competitive!
Our seaside day on 22nd July was, unfortunately, a rainy affair, so we were unable to have all the fun and games outside. Never fear though, our resourceful team brought the fun inside instead! As you can see, everyone had a whale of a time!
As lockdown continues, we are still unable to provide off site or external entertainers for our residents, but our staff have been keeping them highly entertained with a variety of games and activities.
We had a hoopla competition, which Rita won!
