Activities At Charnley House Care Home In Hyde

We’ve had so much going on at Charnley House for the past few weeks, it’s been hard to keep up! So here’s a summary and a few photos of what the residents have been up to…

We’ve been playing a game with ping pong balls and cups.

We’ve had great fun with balloons and the parachute, which made every one laugh out loud and was so bright and colourful.

We’ve had a few highly competitive games of cards. We think there may be a few sharks amongst our residents!

We’ve been crafting away with paper, feathers, ribbons and all sorts of wonderful materials to make these fantastic pictures of ladies in their finery.

We’ve had cake, coffee and a good old chat, which always goes down well, both with the residents and the team.

Cards & Movies At Charnley House in Hyde

7^th February was National Send a Card to a Friend Day, a chance to tell your friends how much they mean to you by way of a card.

There was a time when men and women wrote daily notes to their friends. There were thank you notes, party invitations, love notes and of course the gossip filled notes catching up on the previous evening’s antics! Now we have a minute to minute digital journal on social media! So National Send a Card to a Friend Day is all about stepping away from the devices and showing someone how much they mean to you.

So, here are some of the cards that we made and send to celebrate National Send a Card Day.

Also, Global Movie Day is held on the second Saturday of February each year to celebrate the power movies have to reach, connect and inspire people around the world. So, we decided to have our own movie night. We made a makeshift cinema with snacks and popcorn and enjoyed watching some great movies from different eras of film. Everyone really enjoyed the event and we had a good chat about the films afterwards as well.
