Celebrating VE Day at Bramhall 🇬🇧

Our Abbeyfield House Bramhall residents had a lovely time sharing memories of VE Day over a quiz and some decorated buns.

One of our residents even shared a special piece of history, a poster she's kept safe since her school days, signed by King George VI after the war ended. Such an incredible piece of history.

We finished the afternoon with a good old-fashioned sing-along with plenty of flag-waving. What a brilliant way for everyone to mark the occasion together.

Step aside, Las Vegas... Hampton House has its own Fruit Machine 🍉

We put our own spin on the "Human Fruit Machine" game we've seen trending online. Our residents had a fantastic time guessing which fruits would be pulled from the baskets to rack up points.

We love adapting new ideas to keep our activities fresh and fun. Who knew fruit could be this exciting?!

Something is blooming at Halcyon House 🌸♟️

We are excited to share the brand new additions to our Resident Activity Garden. We’ve recently installed a porcelain patio, making our outdoor seating more accessible than ever, and a fantastic giant outdoor chess set.

Our residents spent a lovely afternoon making use of the new space. Residents have also been enjoying planting fruit, vegetables, and shrubs in the hopes of a colourful garden later in the year.

As one resident beautifully put it, "The lovely sounds of the birds singing in the trees, and the blooms opening on the branches that are swaying in the breeze, it's a very soothing and therapeutic".

Abbey the Bear takes on Whitby 🧸🏰

This weekend, our favourite teddy bear took on the famous 199 steps in Whitby.

Accompanied by some of the wonderful team from Sandwood Care Home, Abbey climbed every single step to reach the breathtaking Whitby Abbey.

It was a bit of a climb, but the views from the top were stunning. We love taking our commemorative friend out on adventures — where will Abbey go next?

VE Day at Sandwood Seedlings 🎈

To celebrate VE Day, the theme at Sandwood Care Home's intergenerational playgroup last week was all things Red, White, and Blue.

Our residents and little ones had a great time getting creative, including making a vibrant Union Jack using potato prints. We were also thrilled to welcome a new Seedling to the group who especially loved playing with the balloons!

It’s was a lovely morning of history, creativity, and new friendships.

Ukuleles and afternoon tea at Halcyon House 🇬🇧🍰

The VE Day celebrations at Halcyon House on Friday were a highlight for everyone involved. The wonderful Ukulele Buddies joined us to play a fantastic selection of songs and it was so lovely seeing all the residents singing and waving their flags with enthusiasm.

The house was full of friends and families joining us for plenty of tea, cake, and a glass of sherry. The whole event was a great success and the kind compliments we received from everyone who attended made the afternoon even more special.

It was a wonderful way for the Halcyon House family to come together and mark the occasion.

Red, white and splash of hair dye 🇬🇧

We are still looking back on the lovely time we had celebrating VE Day together a few days ago. The house was full of music as Kayley Cares Vintage Singer took to the big screen, and it was wonderful to hear the residents singing along to every word.

The day felt extra special thanks to Dominique, who prepared a delicious, handmade themed menu that everyone thoroughly enjoyed. We even had a surprise guest for tea, as Abbey the bear joined the residents at the table. Our activities coordinator, Sarah, really got into the spirit of things too—she temporarily dyed her hair red so she could fully represent the red, white, and blue theme.

It was great day that we will all remember for a long time.
