Our residents at Bentley Grange had a wonderful afternoon celebrating the Lunar New Year in style!

We transformed our cinema room into a cosy cultural corner, where everyone enjoyed watching a fascinating programme all about China. The residents were captivated by the beautiful landscapes, traditions, and vibrant festivals they saw on screen - several even said they wished they’d visited China themselves!

The home was beautifully decorated with colourful lanterns and festive touches to bring the celebration to life. And of course, no celebration is complete without delicious food! Our residents enjoyed a Chinese-inspired meal, full of flavour and fun - topped off with fortune cookies that brought plenty of giggles and smiles as everyone shared their fortunes. 🥢🥠

It was a truly special afternoon filled with laughter, learning, and community spirit. Here’s to a year of good health, joy, and prosperity for all!

Gong Hei Fat Choy! 🧧✨

On Sunday, those living with us at Bentley Grange enjoyed a wonderful afternoon celebrating Burns Night. The bistro was beautifully decorated for the occasion, with bunting adding a traditional Scottish touch and creating a lovely atmosphere for everyone to enjoy.

At lunchtime, the dining room was decorated with tartan placements and the residents were treated to haggis, which was thoroughly enjoyed and sparked plenty of conversation around the tables. The celebrations were made even more special by Max, who came along to play the bagpipes. His performance was a real highlight of the day and was loved by everyone, filling the bistro with the unmistakable sound of Scotland.

To finish off the afternoon, a family member, Margaret, kindly read a selection of Robert Burns’ poems. This was a touching and meaningful moment that brought the celebration together beautifully.

Everyone was talking afterwards about what a wonderful afternoon it had been, full of music, tradition, and shared enjoyment. A truly memorable Burns Night at Bentley Grange.
