Westbury Court

Here at Westbury Court Care Home, we’ve enjoyed a trip to Lakeside Garden Centre in Crockerton to get us in the festive mood.

As well as meeting a huge polar bear, we admired all the decorations and chose Christmas cards to send to our family and friends.

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.

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.

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

Congratulations to all our wonderful bakers who competed in the finals of The Great Four Seasons Group Bake Off. The judges had a difficult (but very tasty!) job deciding on the winner and the results are in:

“Not all heroes wear capes, some of us wear aprons and bandanas!”

Congratulations to Valerie Kelly, Chef Manager at brighterkind's Houndswood House Care Home, who has won ‘Our Care Catering Hero Award 2022’ at the National Association of Care Catering (NACC) Awards.

The awards ceremony took place on 6th October at The East Midlands Conference Centre in Nottingham to recognise and celebrate excellence, innovation, dedication and outstanding contribution within the care catering sector.

brighterkind is delighted to announce a partnership with Rock Choir on a new inclusive project to bring the joy of performance singing into the daily lives of its care home residents and care teams.

Residents at brighterkind care homes across the UK will be taking part in rehearsals with bespoke tutorials provided by Rock Choir, the UK’s largest contemporary choir, ahead of live performances before an audience of family, friends and members of the local community, throughout the autumn.  

“Gorgeous weather, cool ice cream, dancing & singing with our loved ones and a cheeky cocktail – just a perfect day!” 

Wow, what a wonderful summer!  

brighterkind care homes across the UK have really embraced fun in the sun this season by holding summer festivals for residents, family members and friends in our local communities.

brighterkind are delighted to announce that it has been awarded a ‘Top 20 Large Care Home Group 2022’ award by leading care home review website carehome.co.uk. This is the sixth consecutive year that brighterkind has received this accolade.
