🍀 St Patrick’s Day 🍀

On Tuesday, we celebrated St Patrick's Day throughout our home, everyone got into the Irish spirit! Our giant leprechaun made an appearance again this year (courtesy of WISH Activity Team Lead Colette) to visit our residents 💚

We enjoyed Beef and Guiness Pie, Irish themed cupcakes and chocolate mint mousse. It is also Nutrition & Hydration week, so we started off strong with fruit infused water for our residents and the staff to keep us all hydrated. We sampled lemon and ginger, cucumber and lemon and orange and lemon - with ginger and lemon being the favourite 😋

A fantastic day all round. Thank you to all the staff who made it a brilliant day 👏

On Monday we celebrated International Women's Day! Our lovely ladies from Peacock Unit & Red Admiral joined together in the orangery for an afternoon tea. Our wonderful chef Mel provided us with a spread fit for our Queens 👑

Conversation flowed, friendships were made and lots of laughs could be heard. We ended the lunch with some music, a sing along and Sheila showing us her famous dance moves. What a wonderful afternoon we had 💖

Getting Ready For Spring 🪴🌸

Last week, our ladies and gents made full use of the nice weather by tidying up our garden ready for spring! We deadheaded flowers, split old bulbs from previous plants and agitated the soil to make way for new shoots coming through 🌱

Tony and Patsy had a lovely time and the sunshine helping our WISH Activity Team ❤️

Clean as a Whistle 🫧❤️

This week, we had IPC Team come in to give a talk to some of our ladies and gents about hand hygiene, oral health and infection control and prevention. We did a game of bingo, a game with a glove, baby oil and glitter to show how far germs can spread between us all while enjoying refreshments. We all had a good chat and a laugh together ❤️

Last week, we had the absolute honour and privilege to present our lovely Care Assistant, Julie, with her 30 year service award!

Starting with Stocks Hall in 1996, Julie has seen the home grow into what we see today and became an important piece in many of our ladies and gents lives over the last 30 years. Julie is an integral part of our Peacock nursing unit team and the home as a whole, so we wanted to celebrate her amazing achievement 👏
