Elvis has left the building!
Last week, Abbeywood had the pleasure of welcoming an Elvis Presley tribute act for a special afternoon of entertainment. Our residents (and staff!) were thoroughly engaged, singing along to all the classics, sharing plenty of laughs and even some tears. It was wonderful to see so many smiles and laughter throughout the home. We look forward to hopefully welcoming Elvis back throughout the year!

📢 Update for Our Friends and Families – Today’s Entertainment Cancelled

We just wanted to let everyone know that today’s Harwood Harmonies visit (Sunday) has been cancelled. We’ve had a few residents feeling under the weather, so we’re keeping group activities to a minimum while they recover.

We’re sorry for any disappointment and will rearrange the visit as soon as we’re able.

Thank you for your understanding.

It was a pleasure to have the students visit last week to spend time in the garden with our residents. Looking forward to the next visit in a couple of weeks! 🌿🌲🌱

Members of the THS leadership team spent the afternoon gardening with residents at Abbeywood Care Home today. Both students and residents had a fantastic time. Our students really value the community partnership that they have developed with the residents and staff at Abbeywood.

🎉 VE Day Celebrations at Abbeywood 🎉

What a lovely afternoon we’ve had at St John’s Church for their fabulous VE Day party! A huge thank you to Councillor Yvonne Wright for inviting us - our residents had a wonderful time soaking up the atmosphere, enjoying the music, and sharing memories over tea and cake.

We’re keeping the celebrations going all weekend:
Tomorrow at 2pm, we’ll be welcoming the D Day Dollies for a special performance in the lounge - don’t miss it!
And on Saturday, we’ll be rounding off the week with a VE Day themed evening tea.

Keep an eye out for more photos!

🎉 George Ran the Manchester Marathon! 🎉

A huge well done to George, our Operations Manager, who completed the Manchester Marathon and raised an incredible £855 for the Abbeywood Residents' Fund! 🏃‍♂️💙

We’re so proud of his effort and so grateful to everyone who donated and supported him along the way. The money raised will go directly towards fun activities, outings, and events for our wonderful residents.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be chatting with residents and families to gather ideas on how we should spend the money—whether that’s trips out, entertainment, or something special at home.

💡 Got an idea? Let us know!

The donation link is still open until next week if you’d like to make a final contribution:

At Abbeywood Care Home, we believe in creating joyful and meaningful experiences for our residents. That’s why we’ve launched a fundraiser to support our Residents' Fund, which helps us organise fun activities, day trips, entertainment, and special events for the wonderful people who call our home theirs.

This year, our Operations Manager, George, is taking on the Manchester Marathon on 27th April 2025 to raise money for this cause. Every mile run will help fund activities that bring smiles, laughter, and special memories to our residents.

We’re asking for your support to help us reach our goal and make a real difference in the lives of our residents. Every donation counts, and your contribution will go directly to funding activities and events that brighten their days.

On Friday afternoon, some of our residents enjoyed a lovely trip to The Robin Hood up the road, sharing drinks, laughter, and good company! It’s always wonderful to see our residents out and about, making the most of their time together.

We’re also thrilled to announce that we will soon be welcoming a new Activities Coordinator to the team! 🎉 They’ll be bringing fresh ideas and organising a variety of activities to keep our residents engaged and entertained.

To keep families and friends informed, we will now be producing quarterly newsletters, sharing updates on activities, events, and any changes within the home.

Thank you for your continued support—we love creating a warm and vibrant community for our residents. And we look forward to lots more trips out and activities within the home. 💙
