Residents at Abbeyfield House Bramhall Abbeyfield Living Society have been getting into the Halloween spirit, busily crafting spooky ghosts and colouring wooden pumpkins to hang on our frightfully fun Halloween tree! 👻🎃

Gwen had a great time making a little boy ghost, and our scarecrow has had a magical makeover – she’s now a witch! The whole house is looking wonderfully festive, thanks to all the residents’ help with decorating and pumpkin displays.

Today, we’re rounding off the celebrations with a spooktacular Halloween party full of fun, laughter, and games.

Reading is a powerful tool for wellbeing 💜📖

The Mobile Library at Fern House at Abbeyfield The Dales kept residents engaged, brought up past interests, and created a wonderful, sociable atmosphere for chatting.

It’s amazing what a good book can do for the mind and spirit.

After 20 years of incredible service, we bid a heartfelt farewell to Kay Gibson, who retired as a long-term committee member at Abbeyfield Fulwood at the start of October.

Kay has been an instrumental part of our community, notably taking the lead in welcoming new residents and spearheading our advertising efforts. Her dedication will be sorely missed.

We celebrated Kay's commitment with a beautiful afternoon tea, where she was presented with an Abbeyfield Certificate of Appreciation, along with flowers and wine.

From all of us, we send Kay every good wish for a long and happy retirement! 🥂

Veteran Joy Trew Sits Beside King at VE Day Parade 💙

Abbeyfield Wells Society resident, Joy Trew, was invited to the VE day parade celebrations in May, and found herself sitting next to King Charles.

The 98-year-old World War Two veteran, who served in WAAF (Women's Auxiliary Air Force) and at Bletchley Park, said she "had no idea" that she was going to be seated next to His Majesty.

Her daughter had been asked if Joy would be ok sitting next to a very important person - she said "absolutely!" Joy didn't know who this very important person would be until the very last minute and then realised it was King Charles.

Joy said that he was very kind to her and they spoke about lots of different things - he even helped her with her blanket to make sure she kept warm.

Shining bright at Abbeyfield Loughborough ✨

This week, the halls at Abbeyfield Loughborough were filled with light, laughter and incredible food as they celebrated Diwali.

Their kitchen team created an amazing spread of authentic, traditional Indian food that was a massive hit with residents and staff.

Add in the beautiful, colourful saris worn by their fantastic carers, and the whole day felt like an exciting and immersive celebration. It was a feast for the eyes and the stomach.

Wishing everyone a joyful Diwali and a prosperous new year!
