Our lovely residents have had an amazing day today, celebrating our 'seaside day' we had plenty of games and fun this morning. Hook a duck, ring toss, knocking the cans down with prizes for our winners!
Water and sand pit to get the true sea side experience.
We had traditional fish and chips with mushy peas, or hot dog in buns smothered with onions. Followed by a succulent velvet centred sponge with chocolate icing. Donuts with cream or chocolate sauce, candy floss and rock! And our cocktail connoisseur, for the beach vibe cocktails!
And would it truly be a seaside visit without an ice cream! our residents all went to the ice cream van and selected their own ice cream! 😍😍😁
We've had such an amazing day! but of course anyone who knows us, knows Holly Bank loves a good party! 🤣🤣 and of course this is what it is all about for us, our residents enjoying themselves.
Thank you to our team for their work today 🥰

We had the pleasure of Ravenscliffe High School and Sports College students joining us this morning. To discuss volunteering opportunities and careers. We had a lovely time meeting you and answering all your questions. Some of our residents also came to talk to the group about what they did for work before retirement.

We hope you all have a lovely day celebrating your prom Friday❤️❤️ We hope to see you all again soon.

We had the pleasure of Tony coming to sing for us again today and play the guitar, our residents love our returning entertainers, they enjoyed being able to request their own songs. And then this afternoon some of our residents enjoyed making their own fruit salad. Selecting fruit and cutting it on their own chopping board and putting into a bowl to enjoy😍🥰
We like to ask our residents what activities they would like, maintaining a person centred care approach is important to us as care providers, plus its a lovely way to encourage intake of vitamin C 😍

VE-Day
Today at Holly Bank we hold the day as remembrance, for all those brave gentlemen and Ladies who sacrificed and served their country.
Their outstanding bravery, honour during world war 1 and 2. At Holly Bank we are honoured to have cared for such amazing individuals.
Who have fought in the war, been held as prisoners of war, and who have sadly been taken from their families during the war.

Two very brave men, Eric suchland landing on Normandy beach on D-day. Eric was among the soldiers who crossed the channel during Operation Overlord as part of the Allied invasion of France in 1944
volunteered for the Army on his 18th birthday and joined the Royal Corps of Signals.

And Leslie Cobb captured in Singapore, and was with 278 Field Battery (Royal Artillery Territorial Army).
Today we remember them.
