How to brighten up a Wintery afternoon? Have a good sing song with Joe Lloyd! Improves mood and emotional well being for our residents and brings lots of smiles!

January is a quiet month. Time for New Year resolutions and reflection. It's not been very quiet here at the Leonard Elms. We will carry on the tradition of having live music and other entertainment once a week. We are always on the lookout for new entertainment to join us and we already have some new acts. So far this month, we have enjoyed Shannon Kitchen who brought in the New Year. Myles and Maddox and Nicola Cox came to sing all our favourites tunes. Great singing to cheer up this gloomy month! And lovely to see some Residents singing and dancing!

Merry Christmas everybody. Santa visited, presents were opened and tables decorated for our Christmas day lunch. Christmas tunes in the background while every one tucked into the turkey. It's great to see everyone at the tables to celebrate this special day, while some relatives came and joined in to eat with their loved ones. Thanks again to all our staff that worked hard to make this day special. 🤶🎅

🎶 Rockin around the Christmas tree! 🎶 Haven't we had a busy December so far! And the best is yet to come. A visit from Santa with presents for everyone, and of course, Christmas Day lunch that will pop your buttons! To keep up the festive singing, we had Nicola join us in belting out Christmas tunes we are familiar with. Happy Christmas Eve!

The second trip to Cadbury Garden Centre on the mini bus. A trip through the countryside looking at all the Christmas lights of the houses on route. Smelling the fresh cold Winter air. Then in the warmth once inside with the sights and sounds and the smells of festive plants and decorations. So much to see! Triggering happy memories and encouraging some reminiscence. Then the treat of a cream tea! A wonderful time had by all. Thank you again for the 'elves' who made this happen!

Alison's last relative's meet for this year. Another successful lunch full of all sorts of conversation and great food in the local pub. If you are new here on our fb page, Alison is a Dementia Carer, part time Activities Coordinator and once a month she is Family Liason. Alison holds a relatives meeting either at the home or down the local pub every last Friday of the month. If you know Alison, she is a good listener and will answer any questions you have about your loved ones. It is also a good time to just sit and chat with other relatives in a relaxing environment. Anyone is welcome. Come along to the next one in January!

Carrying on with the Christmas Celebrations, we had Naomi come back to join us with her Christmas Show. Residents and staff joined in with singing and dancing. There was some festive food and a raffle that had some great prizes. Well done all who won! Merry Christmas everybody!

🎶 Away in a Manger! 🎶 A lovely Church Service with our local Reverend Mathew and his Christmas flock. Singing Christmas Carols familiar to our residents that encouraged a bit of reminiscing. And listening to Bible readings along with the Christmas story with Mary, Joseph and Jesus. In thanks for the Service, mince pies and mulled wine was handed out after and, some Christmas cheer was had.

The start of our Christmas trips out. We are lucky to have Cadbury Garden Centre on our doorstep. And this time of year the Centre gets transformed into a Christmas Winter Wonderland. Festive music, glittery trees, Santas everywhere yo ho ho-ing and some even climbing the chimneys! It's a wonderful place to take our residents so they can join in with the Christmas spirit and bring back memories of their Christmases. The trip wouldn't be complete without enjoying a cream tea which was enjoyed by all. Thankyou to our local Lions Club for the transport there and back. And another big thankyou to all the staff that helped to make this happen. 🎅☃️🎄

🎶HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!🎶 This is a first at The Leonard Elms Care Home. One of our residents has reached 104!! Flowers, banners, balloons, chocolates and cards were given to make this day as special as our wonderful 'young' lady! A beautifully made Birthday cake made by Anne, from our Care team. Entertainment was Joe Lloyd who made the day special singing all the favourites. What is your secret we asked. Is it having good genes, sense of humour, staying active, eating well and joining in with the home's activities? The answer was, we look after her well! 🤗 💐🍾🥂

National Elf day yesterday and this elf was so busy, she even helped to wash the floors! Christmas music playing and lots of laughter. Getting into the spirit as residents joined in with some arts and crafts. Who doesn’t like homemade Christmas decorations! It boosts resident's self-esteem, lifts spirits and gives a sense of purpose. It also gives our residents a productive role in preparing for the holiday celebrations. 🎅
