We’ve had a great time over the last few weeks and managed to keep cool in the sun.
We’ve been blowing bubbles, which made everyone giggle quite a lot!
We’ve been making milkshakes in our Green Room
We’ve had various games, including the giant “finding pairs” game.
And we’ve had plenty of ice lollies too!
Here at Bank Close House care home in Chesterfield our residents had a wonderful time celebrating VE Day on Friday 8th May, with various activities taking place during the day.
In the morning they did VE Day themed word searches and reflected on/remembered the war years in a group discussion.
The afternoon was spent holding up the banners and flags that residents had coloured in and decorated and then a buffet tea was enjoyed by all later on.
We had a visitor join us in the conservatory – a little Robin came in for a flying visit!
It was “eyes down” for a game of “Card Bingo” with prizes of chocolates on offer…
and Lydia enjoyed a “Pamper” from Josie.
Join us for our 2019 Christmas Party at Goole Hall Care Home, Goole on Wednesday 18th December at 2pm.
There’l be lots of fun a laughter and goodies, so please come along!
The British weather can’t seem to make its mind up this summer. Knowing how unpredictable our weather can be, when the sun came out this morning the residents at Rotherwood Care Home went outside to make the most of the sunshine and get some much needed Vitamin D.
The residents really wanted to make the most of the sunshine so thats exactly what we did. The team helped the residents outside while our activities coordinator set up the regular activities outside. The activities included our weekly sing along choir club, a music quiz and tin-can-alley.
The residents had a wonderful day and even enjoyed a Choc-Ice while outside in the sun.
Two residents from Bank Close House in Chesterfield recently celebrated their 65th Wedding Anniversary.
The homes manager said: “They are such a lovely couple who are as much in love now as I imagine they were when they first met. I am really happy that we were able to provide them with this special party to mark the occasion, but I am even happier that we got to witness and be a part of it. I hope this will be a memory that they will cherish forever.”
On the day they enjoyed 1 hour in a chauffeur driven Rolls Royce, two beautiful Anniversary cakes, Champagne for toasting, a cream tea at lunch and a buffet tea.
Everyone at Devonshire Care would like to wish them a Happy Anniversary with many more years to come.
Congratulations to you both on this special day.
