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.

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.

May Activities At Charnley House

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!

We’ve also been baking cornflake cakes and googly eyed cupcakes and enjoyed doing a spot of gardening in our outdoor planters.

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.

And we’ve been potting these lovely plants that are now on display around Charnley House

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.
