Today we had a great morning with our preschool friends. We did our favourite game - What’s In The Box? But…….Christmas version, we all felt super festive afterwards and we look forward to doing this again during the festive season. Thank you, Holbrook Pre-School for sharing the photos with us and visiting each week. We love your visits here at Holbrook Hall.

It’s not just our residents who needed some of our lovely Tania’s motivational Monday movements today, our new manager Ann came in for a bit of the action. This was fantastic to see as our residents love it when staff join in and are enjoying themselves alongside them during activities and day to day life.
Thank you Ann and Tania for creating a fun and inclusive class for everyone today.

We love to share poems with Marilyn on a Monday morning. She reads them with such warmth and enthusiasm.
It’s great to sit and listen and then spend time as a group talking about the meanings of each poem and if they relate to our lives.
Thank you, Marilyn for brightening our Monday mornings.

What a wonderful quiz, the best one yet. This definitely has nothing to do with the fact that Claire was on the winning team, supported by Jean, Sheila and Maureen. Great work ladies.
We won’t mention Pamela cheating by looking in a bird book for the correct answer, we definitely don’t have photographic evidence.
It’s so great that Phil stalks our page and creates the quiz relating to things we’ve been doing that month. He also came with a helper today, the wonderful Jackson, who Clive really enjoyed getting to know. Thank you, Phil and Jackson for a wonderful evening.

Today we have celebrated our Glorious Gaynor’s Birthday.
She chose a lemon drizzle cake and was overwhelmed when it was put in front of her, she was eager to share it with her friends at Holbrook Hall.
We’re pleased we got to share your day with you Gaynor. Many Happy Returns.

This afternoon was our movie matinee and the chosen film was Miss Potter. Jean was chatting to her daughter about this film and she kindly bought it for our residents to enjoy.
Lots of our residents enjoy watching the Saturday afternoon movies at Holbrook Hall, where others take the opportunity to have a cheeky snooze.

We fetched our jigsaw table down from the attic this week, it wasn’t being used so we put it away for a while.
As always we like to reintroduce things and see if they are enjoyed at a later date.
It was great to see Vera having a go at putting the edges together.
We’re hopeful we’ll get this one complete to enable us to purchase a Christmas jigsaw.

It was lovely to walk into our panel lounge today and see Sheila sharing a meal with her family.
Our staff enjoy welcoming family and friends to join loved ones in their home for meals, visits or special occasions
Sheila’s daughter was very thankful and said ‘It was very nice and Helen went to alot of trouble with the lovely food, we all really appreciated it.’

Fridays are shop days here at Holbrook Hall.
Our residents enjoy having a browse and treating themselves to sweet treats, toiletries or activity books.
We also take orders especially with the festive season ahead, we want our resident to feel they have the opportunity to buy things they like.
We’ve recently had a new volunteer Julie, take over our shop rounds. We really appreciate your support Julie as this is a vital service that we like to offer on a weekly basis.
