Care Home Activities

Congratulations to Maria from La Haule Care Home on receiving her Long Service Award!

Residents at Kingston Care Home have been very busy in their Gardening Club this week.

At this time of year these clever creatures are already looking for food and shelter to make a home for the coming months. Join us in helping our buzzy friends by creating the perfect bee hotel.

Not to be underestimated, bumble bees have one of the most important jobs in our eco system – pollinating vast numbers of flowers and crops for the benefit of their fellow animals and us humans too. In fact, without their services, many of our wildflowers and crops such as beans, peas, raspberries and tomatoes would struggle to reproduce.

Any man can be a father but it takes a real man to be a DAD”. This special quote was the topic of conversation in Uplands Care Home this year on Father’s Day.

Residents here at The Lawns Care Home got creative by working on their very own flower displays

Here at Emberbrook Care Home, we love our trips to the seaside; we try to go two or three times every summer. But this time it was a special trip part of the Wishing Well Programme for Resident Joan who had requested the trip to remember her husband.

“Reaching 100 is a great thing!” This is what resident Joan from Ivybank House Care Home said when we discussed plans for Resident Emily’s birthday.

Resident Phillip, here at Clarence Court Care Home, has always been passionate about art and is a noted collector. So when he heard that 120 Scottish artists were holding a gallery of their work to raise money for Ukraine he was very eager to see it.

Magic Moment Coordinator, Steven, arranged to get Phillip to the Pentagon centre in Glasgow to view the exhibition and where he got a catalogue of the exhibition and received a photographic print to add to his collection.

Residents at our brighterkind homes celebrated the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee! The homes were decorated with union jacks and everyone dressed up for the occasion.

We invited the Mayor to our garden party here at Kingston Care Home and she came!
