Staff Shout Out Tuesday 🌟

This week we’re celebrating our lovely Claire at Frenchay House! Claire has only been with us for a few short months, but she has truly made the activities role her own.

She brings a fantastic energy to the home and always makes sure activities are tailored to what residents genuinely enjoy. Claire takes the time to sit with each person, getting to know their backgrounds, hobbies, and interests so every activity feels meaningful and personal.

We’re so lucky to have someone so passionate and dedicated on the team. Keep going, Claire, you’re doing an amazing job! 💙👏

Baking is a fun way for residents to stay independent, be creative, and spend time together. Plus, they get to enjoy tasty treats they made themselves! 🧁🍫🍪 This week...
..Residents at Rosewood House baked delicious flapjacks and sweet strawberry jelly.

And at Frenchay House, residents enjoyed baking cupcakes and doing other various activities such as exercising, quizzing and enjoying the sunshine!

Then at Hengrove Lodge, residents made some marshmallow rice crispy treats during their baking club.

How lovely does that all sound? 😋✨

In care, dignity isn’t an extra – it’s the foundation. Every choice we make, every interaction we have with our residents, should reflect respect, compassion, and understanding.

By prioritising dignity, we empower residents, support independence, and create a caring environment where everyone feels valued!

This week we’re celebrating Ally at our Frenchay House home, who has been working wonders in the kitchen. Ally always makes sure residents have enjoyable mealtimes and is constantly going the extra mile to make food both appealing and nutritious.

This past week she even created a strawberry pudding using Waterade, helping to boost residents’ hydration and nutritional intake in a creative way. 🍓🍮

Keep smashing it, Ally. Your hard work and creativity make a real difference! 👏💙

In dementia care especially, dignity lives in how we listen, adapt, and involve people in decisions about their own lives, no matter their abilities.

This week on resident life, our residents have been enjoying a variety of creative and hands-on activities.

At Rosewood House, residents designed, built and decorated their very own bird’s nests and bird houses, encouraging creativity and a sense of achievement 🐦

Residents from Hengrove Lodge made frozen yoghurt lollies and refreshing smoothies using Waterade. This supported their independence, sensory stimulation and hydration while bringing everyone together for some kitchen fun!

Meanwhile residents at Frenchay House painted beautiful trees using broccoli florets which was a unique way to paint. All the lovely paintings were displayed in the dining room as Frenchay House's very own art gallery!

🧧 Chinese New Year Celebrations Across Our Homes 🧧

Our homes have been full of colour, creativity, and celebration!

Residents at Belvedere Lodge painted beautiful decorations, while Frenchay House got hands-on making dragons. Rosewood House embraced the spirit with vibrant signs, lanterns, a Chinese zodiac game, and even documentaries, all topped off with a delicious themed menu.

Crossley House residents enjoyed wearing masks, relaxing to Chinese music, and tasting rice cakes, while Patron House got creative with festive colouring, traditional fans, and a much-loved Chinese dinner.

At Hengrove Lodge, residents crafted lovely decorations, enjoyed colouring, and even tried using chopsticks at lunch. The day ended with a special surprise… fortune envelopes filled with chocolate, a keychain, and a little bit of luck 🍀

Happy Chinese New Year!! 🎉🐉❤️
