This week we have welcomed a Year 10 student to the care home for their work experience! 😊

Work experience is a fantastic opportunity for young people to learn about working life, build confidence, and develop new skills. It also gives them a chance to see first-hand the rewarding role that care plays in supporting older people in our community 📚

Alfie has shown empathy and compassion, responsability, confidence, professionalism and overall a great attitude to all of our residents and team 👏

A big thank you to Alfie for choosing Castlebank ⭐

Today we’ve taken advantage of the good weather and enjoyed spending some time out in the garden 🌿☀️ A little fresh air and sunshine can do wonders!

Being outdoors helps to boost mood, encourage gentle movement, support vitamin D intake, and create lovely opportunities for conversation and reminiscence. It was wonderful to see everyone relaxing and making the most of the brighter day 💚

Today we’ve enjoyed a lovely Book Club session followed by a fun and engaging game of Bingo 📚🎉

Our Book Club encouraged meaningful conversation, reminiscence and cognitive stimulation, as residents shared thoughts, memories and personal reflections inspired by the reading. It was wonderful to see everyone so involved and expressive.

Bingo brought plenty of smiles, laughter and a little friendly competition! Activities like this help to support concentration, number recognition and hand-eye coordination, while also promoting social interaction and a positive sense of achievement.

A balanced day of relaxation, connection and fun here at Castlebank 💛
