Pizza Perfection!....

Residents at Cheriton had a fab time last week on their virtual cruise when it stopped off in Italy! They made pizzas with loads of different toppings.

There was quite a discussion as to what was the best combination...but in the end they all disappeared pretty quickly so we reckon they were all fantastic!

Enjoying Jamaica…

This week’s cruise stop for our lovely Cheriton residents has been the Caribbean island of Jamaica.

Everyone enjoyed making lanterns, which looked amazing when it got dark and they were lit. This was by way of honouring the Jamaican lantern parade.

Then at the weekend we threw a party, with a disco and loads of yummy food. There was dancing and entertainment which was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. Wonder where we’ll stop next?

Cruising into Africa....

Here at Cheriton our lovely residents have been going on a virtual cruise this week.

Last week we visited Kenya, learning about their celebrations and crafting some hut designs. All our residents enjoyed their time in Kenya and are really looking forward to their next destination - where will it be?

Perfect Pooch…

Here are some fab pictures of our first visit from our ‘pat dog’ at Cheriton. He was an instant hit with our residents who loved meeting him and can’t wait for him to be back.

Pet therapy is a really useful tool to help keep people engaged and calm. It is also a wonderful tactile experience for our residents. We look forward to many more sessions like this one.

Hawaiian Party …..

Residents at Cheriton decided they had had enough of the recent cold weather and went tropical this week with a Hawaiian themed day at the home.

Cocktails, pineapples and umbrellas were the order of the day as residents enjoyed the ’sunshine’ feel of the Party. A lot of laughs were had by all and residents loved wearing their garlands.

The question is where next?

Getting ready for Christmas.....

Cheriton has started to look lovely thank to the efforts of staff ad residents, putting up lots of decorations and dressing Christmas Trees.

The end results, as you can see form the pictures, look really lovely. Everyone is ready for Christmas now, and the snow outside has made it feel all the more festive.

All we need is Santa now!

Halloween Fun at Cheriton…..

It’s that spooky time of year again and the staff at Cheriton have been having a lot of fun decorating the home and dressing up in all manner of spooktacular additions to their uniform.

We particularly liked the liberal use of spiders and their webs!

Our lovely residents thought it was great fun to see all the different get ups and have thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the fun. They particularly liked some of the fantastic Pumpkin lantern carving, with some pretty scary looking Jack ‘o Lanterns being created.

We hope you are enjoying Halloween as much as everyone at Cheriton is.
