Christmas Celebrations at Charnley House Care Home in Hyde

Everyone is getting into the Christmas spirit here at Charnley House, and with so much going on it's no wonder!

Please click on the thumbnails to view the larger images.

We've had fun and frolics with a trip out the theatre to see this year's panto, Peter Pan.

We've been making, and, of course, eating, mince pies.

We've also been doing some Christmas themed colouring

We've been listening to Christmas carols and Christmas songs and had a visit from some carollers. We've all enjoyed singing along and some of us even had a little dance as well!

We've had a very festive visit from Father Christmas, who spent time with everyone and gave out gifts and hugs and Christmas cheer.

And last, but by no means least, we had our Christmas party!! Merry Christmas to one and all!

Cakes, Cookies & Connect 4 At Charnley House Care Home in Hyde

As we always say, it’s been a busy few weeks around here. We don’t let anyone get away with being bored here at Charley House, so here’s the roundup of activities over the last couple of weeks.

We’ve had A LOT of baking activities going on. Great for the winter weather and tasty for everyone!

We’ve had cornflake cake making…

Making and decorating our own cookies…

And making scones (a real favourite)…

We’ve had plenty of gaming activities, from the physical to the cranial. It all gets very competitive around here you know.

We’ve had a Connect 4 master championship…

And fun playing softball…

Finally we’ve had some more leisurely activities preparing our new Circus Wall. Our residents have been colouring pictures to go on the wall as well as painting some large mural masterpieces…

Christmas Partying & 2023 So Far

We’re always busy here at Charnley House, and Christmas and January have been no exception so far, despite the cold and dreary weather!

We had a wonderful Christmas Party with games, music, decorations and lots of lovely party food on the buffet.

A few of our gents have had some extremely serious games of darts. Looks like we’ll have to get a league going here now! All friends in the end though.

Whilst our ladies have had a few relaxing games of Snakes & Ladders and the Safari Game.

 

More to come from us soon!

Last Month At Charnley House Care Home in Hyde

We’ve had lots of celebrations and activities in the last month here at Charnley House care home in Hyde. 

Our residents have been busy colouring for our nursery rhyme wall.

We’ve been off down the river on a boat trip in the lovely weather and everyone enjoyed a lollipop. We even happened upon a pair of geese and their goslings!

We’ve had a very special birthday. 100 years to be exact! Which prompted a letter from the Queen and some very fancy 100th Birthday balloons and decorations and a special 100th Birthday cake.

Finally, we had a real party atmosphere for Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee. We decorated Charnley House with flags, bunting and balloons and had a party tea with an amazing Jubilee cake. Everyone had a flag to wave whilst we watched the many events on the television.
