Last week, we came together as a community for our residents meeting - a valuable time to connect, share ideas and ensure every voice is heard.
These gatherings are an important part of life in our home. They give residents the opportunity to talk about what matters most to them, from activities & outings to menu choices & daily routines.
It is also a chance to welcome new residents & staff, with plenty of tea & cake.🍪🧁🍰☕️🫖

On Wednesday, we wrapped up warm & headed out to our local Pantomime at Denton Village Hall - and what a magical evening it was. 🎭🎭🎵🎶
There is something truly special about a traditional village panto, from the colourful costumes to the familiar songs & plenty of " Oh no it isn't" & " It's behind you" moments.
Our residents thoroughly enjoyed being part of the audience.
A big thank you to Denton Variety Club for their continued thoughtfulness in invite us every year, creating special memories for our residents. 🥰🥰

We have had a very busy week at Chevington Lodge.

We started the week of with our exercises, using our soft rackets & balloons. 🎾

Our creativity was flowing making colourful rainbows with tissue paper. 🌈

We went to the funfair with our games playing a very loud game of Tin Can Alley.

The weekend was extra special as we celebrated a lovely gentlemans 101st birthday with some yummy cake. 🎂

By Sunday we were ready for some relaxation, we listened to some cultural music trying to work out which country they were from. 🎶🎶

Finishing of with some ladies getting new nail colours and hand massages. 🧘‍♀️

🦉✨ A Very Special Visit from Evie’s Owls ✨🦉

We had a truly lovely afternoon on Tuesday at Chevington Lodge when Evie’s Owls came to visit us, bringing along two beautiful owls to meet our residents. 💛

Mark gave a fascinating and informative talk all about the owls, which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. Residents then had the opportunity to gently stroke the owls if they wished — a wonderful, hands-on experience that brought lots of smiles and conversations. 😊

A big thank you to Evie’s Owls for such a memorable and enjoyable visit. We all had a fantastic time and hope to welcome you back again soon! 🥰

❄️🎯🧠 Snowy smiles and indoor fun this January! 🧠🎯❄️

Our residents were delighted to see the first snow of January, watching the flakes fall and sharing memories of winters gone by. After enjoying the wintry views, it was time to warm up indoors with some friendly games of darts 🎯 and a fun word game 🧩 that got everyone thinking and laughing.

A perfect mix of fresh air views, good company, and engaging activities—just the way we like it! 💙

🎄✨ A little late, but full of Christmas cheer! ✨🎄

We may be a bit delayed in sharing, but the lovely memories from Christmas Day are still very much in our hearts. Our residents enjoyed a wonderful festive celebration, complete with a delicious roast dinner, the excitement of opening presents, and—most importantly—spending precious time with their families and loved ones.

There were lots of smiles, laughter, and special moments shared throughout the day, making it a truly meaningful Christmas for everyone involved. Thank you to all the families who joined us and helped make the day so special, and to our amazing team who worked hard to create such a warm and joyful atmosphere. ❤️

Better late than never—because these moments are always worth celebrating. 🎁🎅

🎄The halls are decked, the sherry is poured, and the sound of laughter is echoing! We are still buzzing from our incredible annual Christmas Party at Chevington Lodge. 🥂
This wasn't just any party; it was a heart-warming celebration bringing together our wonderful residents, their loving relatives, and our dedicated staff team.

Look at what made the day so special:
🎤 Fantastic Festive Fun: The brilliant Rob James kept everyone entertained with sing-alongs and classic Christmas tunes!
🎅 A Very Special Guest: We even had a visit from Santa Claus himself, spreading cheer and taking photos!
🎁 Prizes & Goodies: Our amazing raffle raised smiles (and funds!) with some fantastic prizes.
🥧 The Taste of Christmas: Mountains of delicious mince pies and a glass of warming sherry or non-alcoholic punch for everyone!

At Chevington Lodge, we believe that joyful, engaging activities are at the core of great dementia care. Moments like these not only create new memories but also help residents reconnect with treasured past feelings and traditions. Seeing the residents' faces light up as they dance or share a moment with Santa is what it's all about!

✨🏡 The Magic of the Holidays is Here! See the Joyful Moments We're Sharing! 🎄🎶

There's something incredibly special about this time of year, and here at Chevington Lodge we're making sure every day is filled with warmth and laughter. 😍

Last week was an absolute blast! Our residents got into the festive spirit with word games 🧠, began decorating the home (hello, tinsel!), and made beautiful Christmas cards to send to loved ones. On Sunday, we had a fabulous afternoon of music, singing, and dancing 💃🕺, followed by some well-deserved pampering and new manicures!💅

And the joy keeps coming this week! We've been busy putting up the magnificent Christmas trees 🌲 and getting competitive with a fun game of hoopla! But the highlight? A heart-warming visit from Kelly from our wonderful charity, Friend in Deed, who brought along the brightest smiles—children from a local school! The residents absolutely loved their company and the lovely chats. 🧑‍🦳❤️👧

To top it all off, our kitchen has been smelling divine as we worked together to create and decorate Christmas cookies 🍪, which we all happily enjoyed after lunch!

❓ Quick Question: What is your absolute favourite Christmas cookie to bake or eat? Let us know in the comments! 👇
