Care Home Activities

Magic Moments Club Coordinator, Lynne, was recently chatting to resident Raymond about his life before moving into Ivybank House Care Home. Raymond told her about his love of gardening and how every season he’d make sure his garden was full of colour.

Freda is our resident poet here at The Lawns Care Home and we were delighted when she shared one of her poems with us. Titled ‘May Pilgrimage’, Freda was inspired to write it following a visit to Scargill while on a pilgrimage with her church in 2002.

Residents at The Lawns Care Home are starting to feel festive already so we decided to take a trip to Whittington’s Warehouse and treat ourselves to some new Christmas decorations.

Here at Ivybank House Care Home we love trips out and about and recently decided to take a trip to Weston-super-Mare.

Many of our residents visited Weston in their younger days and Eileen told us she’d spent many a day on the beach there and being treated to fish & chips which always taste better when eaten by the sea.

We’ve been as busy as ever this month enjoying entertainment and events as part of our Magic Moments Club activities programme. Bonfire Night went with a bang and we’ve also enjoyed arts & crafts, singing & dancing, trips out and lots of opportunities to have great fun together. Take a look at just some of the things we’ve been up to.

Ivybank House Care Home was well & truly alive to the sound of music when members of Rock Choir Bath visited to put on a very special performance.

Residents and team members were treated to an afternoon of the most wonderful entertainment with performances of favourite songs from across the years including ‘We’ll Meet Again’, ‘Suspicious Minds’ and ‘Dancing Queen’.

Think Halloween is just for children? Think again! Residents at brighterkind care homes across the UK have been enjoying lots of frightful fun this Halloween with creepy crafts, ghostly games, bewitching baking and plenty of enchanting entertainment.

Here at The Lawns Care Home, residents enjoyed a Barge trip with The Peter Le Marchant Trust.

Languages, photography, dancing and singing are just some of the new skills we’ve learnt this year!

Residents and team members at Ivybank House Care Home gathered in the lounge to watch the funeral of HM The Queen together and pay respects.
