Residents have enjoyed a wonderful few days filled with a variety of engaging activities, including exercise sessions, quizzes, visits from Senna the therapy dog, and fantastic live entertainment from Tim, our rock and roll singer.

We also had the pleasure of celbrating Pat's birthday with family and friends, enjoyed through a lovely sing-a-long performance that brought lots of smiles all around.

A very special celebration was also held for Eileen's 103rd birthday, marked with surprise gathering alongside her family - a truly memorable and heartwarming occasion.

What a fantastic few days! 🎶

We were lucky enough to have Charlie from Wizzard — the lead drummer — join us, and surprise everyone by playing the piano beautifully. What a treat!

The fun didn’t stop there… we enjoyed creative games, curling, and even a giant balance game that kept everyone on their toes. There was plenty of laughter, and to top it all off, a wonderful sing-along that brought everyone together.

We also made time for some classic favourites like skittles, and snakes and ladders — something for everyone to enjoy!

What a fun-filled day with great company and lots of smiles. Already looking forward to the next one! 😊

What a wonderful few days it’s been! 🌸

We’ve enjoyed a delightful springtime show filled with music, fun and active games, skittles, and snakes and ladders. Leanne joined us for soothing hand massages, we put our knowledge to the test with quizzes, and we were even treated to a lovely visit from a pet therapy dog 🐾

To top it all off, the beautiful weather meant we could spend some quality time out in the garden—making the most of every moment! ☀️🌿

“It's been a great few days—Phil the singer was in the house, which was a real treat. We also shared Holy Communion, enjoyed some energetic ping pong games, kept active with exercises, and even found time to sit back and watch The Two Ronnies. A wonderful mix of fun, reflection, and togetherness.”
