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.
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.
Our residents have had a lovely, and very busy, time over the last few weeks.
We’ve been making Easter bonnets and having an Easter bonnet competition. Best bonnet wins a large Easter egg, so you can imagine, the competition was fierce!
We’ve had plenty of other activities going on as well, from arts and crafts to games afternoons and dancing.
Our residents are busy, busy, busy as we make our way towards Spring.
We’ve been doing all sorts of activities at Bank Close House over the past few weeks, not least were our Valentine’s Day celebrations. Residents made Valentine’s Day cards and Love Heart messages, which are on display on the notice board in the main hallway.
Here are some photos of our recent games activities…
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 autumn is definitely here now, so we thought we’d enjoy some autumn crafts here at Bank Close House care home in Chesterfield.
Here are some of our residents making their own autumn wreaths from twigs and leaves.
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!

Our residents had a delightful time this week having a tenpin bowling competition. The rivalry was fierce and, in the end, Joyce won! Some residents, including David and Liz (pictured below) enjoyed playing a more serene game of dominoes.
We would also like to thank Tesco for donating a food and toiletries hamper for us all.
