The residents thoroughly enjoyed their weekend activities. Yesterday's massage therapy sessions were particularly well-received, with participants consistently reporting high levels of relaxation. This morning's "Get Together" event also proved successful. Residents frequently express that these sessions are engaging and pass quickly. While individual perspectives may vary, mutual respect and a shared appreciation for learning from one another are consistently observed.
This afternoon was spent n rooms with one to ones 💕

When Horsforth Manor Care Home met Lindsey Hall Care Home ❤️

It was an early start for the 3 M's this morning, Marian , Margaret and Maureen as we left for our trip to the seaside.

We arrived at Lindsey Hall and were greeted at the door by their amazing activities team. And taken into their lovely activities street where there was some residents waiting with biscuits and refreshments 🍪☕️
We then set off for our fish and chips dinner which was delicious. Anne from Lindsey hall said that it was her favourite place to eat and Maureen was amazed at how much she ate for being so slight.
Margaret was the hostess and kept everyone topped up with refreshments.
We then went down to the front and had a walk along the prom. The sun was shining, the sea breeze blew and the fresh air was inhaled ....everyone was smiling, chatting and having a wonderful time.
Thank you Lindsey Hall for your warm welcome and hospitality, we have had the best day ❤️

Thank you Mark for being the best driver 👍 I know i say it all the time, but we really do appreciate you and your help. Without you trips like this wouldn't be possible.

We had a lovely afternoon of baking at our Haven, specifically focusing on chocolate chip cookies.

Anne, who was on Marilyn's team, took on the responsibility of ensuring the mixture wasn't over-mixed, while also making sure it was mixed at a good pace.

Val H, from my team, was quite enthusiastic with the mixing, while Val B was the only one who attempted to crack an egg. This caused Joan to be startled when the eggshell hit the side of the bowl, which brought laughter from everyone.

Joan shared her fondness for making Christmas cakes, and Val H mentioned that a home truly feels welcoming when the aroma of cooking or baking greets you upon entering. Val B reminisced about her love for baking, and how quickly her family would consume her creations.

Everyone clubbed together to help wash and clean the tables ...team work 👍

Finally, we brought the rolled cookies to the kitchen to be baked, and then our residents enjoyed them with their families and a cup of tea......and the cookies were still warm 😋❤️

Last week, several residents gathered fresh lavender and rosemary from the gardens, which were then set out on a tray to dry in preparation for this week's activity.

Given the recent sunshine, residents have commented on the delightful fragrance of the lavender and rosemary, with some selecting stems for their rooms; consequently, we decided to create scented organza bags.
This activity provided a stimulating sensory experience. In addition to constructing the bags, we discussed the advantages of the herbs, and our residents expressed satisfaction in learning that we utilize our home-grown rosemary in our Sunday roast potatoes. 😋
Smell: The lavender's aroma was released by removing the purple petals, while the rosemary's scent was activated by cutting it with scissors.
Sight: The attractive pink bags filled with the purple herbs presented a visually appealing aesthetic.
Touch: Residents enjoyed rubbing the lavender and rosemary between their fingers to release the fragrance, as well as stripping the petals and leaves.

Our residents then took these back too their rooms. Some said they were popping them into the barlthroom with others saying that they were going to pop them in their drawers or wardrobe s

When we have people coming to look around the Manor, its hard to put into words what we are. When you say how close we are and that they become part of a bigger family, you sometimes think, they they think you're just saying these things.....but its so true.....READ BELOW 😘

On Thursday a family member got staff and one of our residents crying their eyes out. The family member made the kindest gesture to a resident that wasn't any relation to her and this resident isn't even on the same floor as her mum 🥰

The family was walking through reception on her to visit her mum, when our resident stopped her and told her how beautiful she looked ( she is always stunning) and that the dress she was wearing caught her eye because her mum had one very similar.

Seeing how her dress made our resident beam and sparkle by igniting this memory, our family member went home, cut up her dress and made our resident a lavender filled heart that she could hang on her wardrobe and then everytime she looked at it she would think of her beautiful mum ❤️

There wasn't a dry eye in the room 😭

What an absolute diamond 💎 Heart of gold 💛

You know who you are Sue Burrow 🥰

Busy, busy, busy yesterday here at Horsforth Manor

Up on our Haven we danced a sang the morning away in the dining room, corridor and lounge.

While on our ground floor we went out litter picking in force ...its crazy how much litter is out there.

Our residents said that its quite therapeutic litter picking, they're exercising and doing something good at the same time 👌 We were out for 45minutes and filled 2 purple bags 💜
