Halloween at Charnley House - making chocolate apples

This Month at Charnley House: A Look Back at Our Resident Activities

At Charnley House, our goal is to create a warm, engaging environment where residents can enjoy their time and explore fun, enriching activities. This past month has been bustling with laughter, creativity, and teamwork as we embraced the autumn season and celebrated Halloween. Here’s a recap of what we’ve been up to:

Men’s Hour

Our gentlemen residents gathered for a friendly game of dominoes during men’s hour. It was a great opportunity to enjoy some friendly competition, share stories, and bond over this classic game.

Cake Decorating

Who doesn’t love a sweet treat? Residents got creative in the kitchen, decorating cupcakes with their choice of colourful toppings. The smiles were as bright as the sprinkles, and the cupcakes turned out just as delicious as they looked!

Autumn Wordsearch Fun

As the leaves fell outside, our residents came together for an Autumn-themed wordsearch. It was a delightful way to sharpen the mind and enjoy some group collaboration. Everyone pitched in to help each other find those tricky words!

Jigsaw Joy

One of our lady residents took some time to focus on completing a jigsaw puzzle, showcasing her concentration and love for puzzles. It was a lovely reminder of the calming power of a quiet moment spent piecing things together.

Halloween Festivities

Halloween was a highlight of the month! Residents rolled up their sleeves to make their own chocolate-coated apples, complete with a sprinkle of fun. Our celebrations also included Halloween-themed sweets, games, and plenty of spooky cheer.

We’re always thrilled to see our residents enjoying themselves and engaging with each other. Moments like these are what make life at Charnley House truly special. Stay tuned for more updates as we head into the festive season!

Beach Day At Rotherwood Care Home, Rotherham

Here at Rotherwood, we have been enjoying our ‘Beach Day.’

We enjoyed out Mocktails while dipping our feet into the water, and sand to experience the feel of the beach. We have laughed, danced and sung throughout the afternoon listening to wartime classics while we have enjoyed the sunny weather.
