✍ Bingo Bonanza! ✍

There was lots of excitement in Astor Court as both floors came together for our big game of prize bingo! This is quickly becoming one of our most popular activities for residents (as you could imagine!). Eyes down, cards ready, plenty of sweating and some laughs as our residents enjoyed the thrill of the game, friendly competition and the joy of winning prizes.

The room was full of cheerful faces, big smiles and some hearty competitive spirit. Such a lovely way to come together and create some fond memories of continuing on a tradition that most of our residents use to participate in every week before moving into residential care. Having these moments to look forward too is so important.

Same time next week! 🙂

🎁🎅Christmas Day Joy!🎅🎁

On Christmas Day, our staff had the absolute pleasure of spreading Christmas cheer around Astor Court (replacing Santa as his schedule was rammed packed). After weeks of shopping for person centred, thoughtful and personalised items, the team went around room to room delivering gifts and sharing smiles and special moments with each resident.

It was truly a heart-warming moment of joy, surprise and gratitude on everyone's faces. A reminder that Christmas is about kindness, connection and making people feel loved. So much care and thought went into every gift, and made the day feel extra special.

A huge thank you too all the team who worked on Christmas Day! We couldn't of brought the Christmas magic without you all 🙂

A Christmas Delight!

Here at Astor court, we took on the baking club challenge of making some mini-Christmas trees to get well and truly into the Christmas spirit! We made the most adorable mini-Christmas trees out of chocolate muffins, cornflakes, lots of chocolate, sprinkles for decoration and even finished off with a star on the top!

This was something that really got our residents focus, lots of giggles and making the home smell of melted chocolate. A perfect way to spend a cosy winter afternoon together... well done to everyone on their creations. I hope they tasted as good as they looked!

We had the most wonderful afternoon celebrating our annual Christmas party, it truly couldn't of been more of a joy! A huge thank you to Kay, who was absolutely amazing and brought a great energy that the residents really bought into, from busting a move to singing along to their favourite Christmas songs the residents were all full of smiles.

Our residents really had such a lush afternoon with festive atmosphere, laughs, lots of clapping and it was especially lovely to see residents up on their feet, joining in and making memories together.

The celebrations were then topped off perfectly wit a buffet style tea party which went down a treat and rounded off a fantastic day.

Memories like these are what the festive season is all about!

Over the festive period, the lifestyle team have facilitated lots of lovely trips to Azure garden centre, giving all of our residents the opportunity to come along if they wished. From twinkling Christmas lights to beautiful decorations and festive displays, it was a wonderful way to truly soak up the Christmas spirit.

Our residents enjoyed their time looking around, choosing favourites, reminiscing on their Christmas decorations, choosing presents and even enjoying a cuppa or two! Truly enjoying soaking up the cosy Christmas atmosphere.

These trips were all about choice, inclusion and creating some meaningful moments, it was such a special time to get some 1-1 time outside of Astor court, see some many smiles and spread a little more festive cheer in time for Christmas!

Here at Astor Court, we were lucky enough to welcome a wonderful group of local childminders and 14 little ones into our home for a truly heartwarming morning. Most of the children were under the age of two and dressed In their best little Christmas outfits which absolutely melted everyone's hearts into cuteness overload!

The children sang Christmas carols and then went round to each of the bedrooms to personally say Merry Christmas, gifting each resident chocolate, a handmade card and the most beautiful little paper ornaments they had made. Bringing smiles to everyone's faces as they went around 🙂

Seeing such beautfiul intergenreational moments is what Christmas season is all about, Tiny voices, big smiles and so much joy! It was truly a cherished moment for our residents with some Christmas joy.

A huge thank you too Seaton Sluce Toddlers for taking the time to spread so much Christmas cheer!

⭐🎄Spreading a Little Extra Christmas Magic in Our Community🎄⭐

After our Christmas Fair this weekend, we found ourselves with a handful of handmade festive goodies still looking for a home: hot chocolate cones, reindeer dust, letters to Santa and Christmas angels. All lovingly made with the help of some of our residents as part of their seasonal activities.

Rather than let these go to waste our lifestyle team (dressed as very committed elves!) delivered the remaining items to our local nursery in Blyth so the little ones could enjoy a bit of extra christmas sparkle.

Moments like this remins us that intergenerational connection doesnt need to be big or formal, sometimes its a simple gesture that brings two ends of the community together. Our residents were proud knowing their creations will be part od the childrens christmas fun.

A huge thank you to the nursery staff for letting us come and add some christmas sparkle. Heres to sharing kindness, creativity and christmas cheer wherever we can!

🎄⛄Elf Day At Astor Court!⛄🎄

We had a splendid time celebrating Elf Day with the residents this week! The lifestyle staff went all out dressing as santas helpers complete with bells and pointy shoes. The residents abolutley loved seeing the team transformed into Elves for the day, bringing quite a few big smiles and even some laughs.

In the afternoon we created a full festive movie experience with a screening of Elf! To add to the magic we went round with a Hot Chocolate Cart - complete with 4 different flavoured hot chocolates, squirty cream, mini marshmellows and sprinkles... the whole lot!

It was a cosy, christmassy afternoon filled with so many happy smiles and some whipped cream mushtaches.

The people living with us came together to honour Remembrance Day in a very special way.

We began the week by making beautiful poppy wreaths and creating a Remembrance wall, where residents shared their own memories and reflections of past Remembrance Days. Each story was a touching reminder of the courage and unity this day represents.

Together, we also painted individual poppies on canvas to form a stunning poppy field artwork - a symbol of remembrance.
We gathered all together to observe the two-minute silence, before watching the national service together on TV. It was a moving moment for everyone at Astor Court.
