☀️ Staying Safe in the Heat – Advice from Balmore Country House Care Home...

With temperatures rising during this heatwave, it’s important to take extra care — especially for our elderly community. Here are some simple but essential tips to help everyone stay safe and comfortable in the warm weather:

💧 Keep Hydrated
Encourage regular sips of water throughout the day, even if you're not thirsty. Offer water, squash, or hydrating snacks like fruit and jelly.

🌡️ Stay Cool Indoors
Keep blinds or curtains closed during the hottest parts of the day (11am–3pm) and open windows when it's cooler in the morning or evening. Use fans where appropriate.

🧢 Dress Lightly
Wear loose, light-coloured clothing and a wide-brimmed hat if heading outdoors. Avoid heavy or dark fabrics.

🌳 Limit Time in Direct Sun
If going outside, seek shaded areas and avoid peak sun hours. Always apply SPF 30+ suncream.

🥗 Offer Light Meals
Lighter meals such as salads, cold meats, fruit, and yoghurt are easier to digest and help maintain energy.

❤️ Look Out for Signs of Overheating
Watch for dizziness, confusion, headaches, or tiredness. If you’re concerned about someone’s wellbeing, speak to a member of staff or seek medical advice.

At Balmore Country House, we’re taking extra steps to ensure our residents are staying cool, hydrated, and well-supported throughout the hot weather.

Let’s all take care of ourselves and each other this summer 🌞

Enjoying the sunshine and the music

Residents at Balmore House had a terrific day enjoying the warm weather yesterday. Sitting in our courtyard, and eating some ice lollies, they were given a lovely musical treat by local entertainer Charlotte who brought along her saxophone. Everyone loved singing along to some of their favourite tunes.

Enjoying remembering!

All the residents of Balmore Country House thoroughly enjoyed themselves yesterday as they took part in the home's celebrations for the 80th anniversary of VE Day. There was a lovely spread for everyone to enjoy and lots of music. Residents particularly enjoyed singing along to some of the old wartime songs. Of course, there was a more serious side to the day and they spent quite a bit of time swapping stories about their memories of the war and the post was peace. An important day for everyone.

A great day out!

The lovely residents of Balmore Country House joined with residents from The Ruddington last weekend and went on a trip to the Classic Car Show at Ruddington Park. The sight of all the amazing cars prompted a lot of memories and we heard some fabulous stories about the cars our residents had owned, and ridden in, back in the day. Here are some of their favourites and some lovely pictures of everyone having a great day out!

Happy Birthday Kathleen!…

We all love a Birthday at Balmore and what could be better than helping to celebrate a very special one.

Our lovely resident Kathleen turned 101 on Wednesday, and she certainly wanted to celebrate. Surrounded by balloons, cards, presents and, most importantly, loved ones she certainly enjoyed her day.

Kathleen is a lovely lady and wanted to thank everyone for making her day so special. Of course it goes without saying that her beautiful Birthday cake didn’t last long. Here’s to her next celebration!

Going green at Balmore…..

With Monday being St Patrick’s Day, the lovely residents of Balmore Country House decided they should get together and celebrate in the traditional way.

Irish Stew was on the menu for lunch and it was appropriately washed down with a glass of two of Guinness. What could be more Irish than that?

There was certainly a lot of green on display and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the meal and the day.

Looking back to Pancake day at Balmore….

Our lovely residents really enjoyed themselves at Balmore on Pancake Day. Our kitchen team made some delicious pancakes, which didn’t stay on the plates for very long - they were yummy!

The residents had great fun designing some fab cakes they would like to have our cooks create. All in all a very sweet day!

It’s Shrove Tuesday!……

And that means pancakes all round for our lovely residents.

I’m sure people will enjoy helping to mix the batter and our kitchen team are ready with a delicious choice of toppings for everyone to choose from.

What’s your favourite topping….so far our residents favourite appears to be the classic lemon juice and sugar.
