💅 Pamper Time at Willows Care Home 💅

We were delighted to welcome Mouse & Claire for their monthly visit ….. always a lovely treat for our residents.

EF enjoyed a relaxing manicure and chose a beautiful polish, while TG preferred a natural look, so we gently removed her polish and gave her nails a tidy file and clean. VH also had her polish removed and nails filed and cleaned …we’re looking forward to adding her fresh polish soon!

These small moments of care and pampering make such a difference, helping our residents feel relaxed, confident, and well cared for. Thank you to Mouse & Claire for continuing to bring smiles and a touch of sparkle to our day ✨

It’s Friday, which means one thing at The Willows… BINGO DAY 🎉

There was lots of concentration (and plenty of chocolate prizes chose all around today 🍫
Mrs F kicked things off by winning the first line in the first game, choosing a KitKat Bunny 🐰
Mrs N followed with a full house in the same game, also picking the same as her sister,a KitKat Bunny—which she kindly gifted to Mr W 💛
Mr Y had a fantastic second game, winning both the line and full house! He chose some mini chocolate eggs and generously shared them with Isla 🥚✨

Mrs F and Mr W also enjoyed a few rounds of Rush Hour, a strategic game of sliding vehicles to free the white car—Mr W was incredibly quick at solving them! 🚗💨

Mr Y loved having Isla sit with him today. Together they played a colourful bottle sequencing game, and Isla helped him practise taking selfies—something he really enjoys 📱😊

A special moment was delivering a decorated bottle vase filled with beautiful pipe cleaner flowers to Mrs R. She was thrilled and asked for them to be placed in her room where she can always see them 🌸

We also spent time doing room visits with Mr J, Mrs O, and Mrs T—sharing chats, comfort, and companionship with those unable to join us in the lounge 💬💛

Another lovely day full of smiles, kindness, and connection at The Willows 💫

This afternoon we turned our hands to cross-stitching 🧵🌷 Mrs F & Mr W have already completed half a tulip — we’ll look forward to finishing it another day!

We also enjoyed a lovely singalong to some favourite songs 🎶

Meanwhile, Mr Y was happily buried in a book, taking in beautiful scenery from Ireland 📖🇮🇪
A calm, creative, and joyful afternoon all round 💛

We’ve had such a fun and active afternoon! 🎉

We kicked things off with some chair exercises using foam noodles – marching, surfing, and boogieing our way through the session! 🌊💃 We even passed a hoop around using the noodles, which was fantastic for coordination and teamwork.

We then wound things down with some calming breathing exercises and light stretches 🧘‍♀️
After that, it was time for some ball games and a bit of hoopla fun – lots of laughs and friendly competition! 🏐

To finish the day, we enjoyed a wonderful singalong and dance session… smiles all around! 🎶😊

I also spent some time visiting rooms with the sensory board, and Mrs O was very thankful to receive her own fiddle baton 💛

This morning we enjoyed a lovely arts & crafts session creating wall décor 🌳✨
We began decorating our “Tree of Life” using beautiful decorative buttons, kindly painted by carer Jimmy. Everyone also got involved in painting the background – we’re excited to continue and see the finished piece! 🎨

The room was filled with the smooth sounds of Nat King Cole and Dean Martin, making it a relaxing and joyful morning 🎶

Mrs F, Mrs G & Mr N had a great time playing a colour-sorting game, carefully arranging bottles into sequences – lots of focus and fun! 🧠

Meanwhile, senior carer Jessy has been busy crafting some stunning flowers from pipe cleaners – they look amazing! 🌸

A wonderful morning full of creativity, music, and smiles 😊

Easter fun continues at The Willows! 🐣🧁

Our residents had a wonderful time baking and decorating delicious Easter cupcakes using chocolate decorations, filling the room with smiles, laughter, and plenty of sweet treats. The joy was contagious as everyone got creative with their chocolate toppings, proudly showing off their colourful creations. 🍫✨

There were smiles and giggles all around as residents happily posed in their bunny ear bands — such lovely moments to capture and cherish! 🐰💛

A big well done to our activity team — the monthly board is all done, bunting is ready to go up for tomorrow, and Mrs G enjoyed having her polish removed as part of getting ready for the celebrations.

We’re all set and excited for more Easter fun to come! 🌸🐣

creativity was in full swing at The Willows as Mr N, Mr W & Mrs B enjoyed making adorable bunny egg holders from toilet roll tubes, ready for our Saturday Easter Bingo table decorations. We made the most of the sunny conservatory, laughter included—especially when Mr W demolished an Easter egg in record time! 🍫🐰

Residents also came together to sign a special birthday card for an upcoming celebration—because every moment shared makes memories that matter.
