On what have been Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth's 100th birthday today, many of us gathered in the Bistro to watch a wonderful documentary film called "Queen Elizabeth: Her Story, Our Century"*.

Tissues were needed close at hand, as the film documented the significant events & how Britain has changed since "Lilibet" was born, woven in with the narrative of her life; memories spanning the Second World War, the 'Swinging Sixties", Diana's death & right through to the impact of the Covid Pandemic & Queen Elizabeth's subsequent passing, came flooding back for many of us - a special emotional moment shared with our Maples Family.

*The film is on BBC iPlayer, for those who might like to look it up . 😊

"So, where's a chap to go for a pamper & a pint?", I hear the men of Telford ask...

Why, The Maples, of course!

Our first Gentlemen's Wellness Day was enjoyed by all who attended, with plans in the pipeline to make it a monthly event.

The Gents were offered a selection of treatments in the salon, including facials, pedicures & manicures, and some took us up on all three! They then had the option to join in with various activities on offer - dominoes, cards, colouring & wordsearches were popular choices - in the company of other men who live here, with a selection of refreshments available.

New friendships were forged & existing ones enjoyed afresh, in the comfort of our communal spaces.

We are looking forward to building upon the success of this first session - future Gent's Wellness Days will be planned to coincide with the monthly visit from The Dementia Friendly Barber*, for the full 'Pamper Experience'!

We are also hoping to get started on some projects in our lovely gardens - once the weather is conducive 🌞😎🌞

Just a couple of pictures from the Art & Craft sessions so far this month:

We crafted Racehorses with Jockeys for an oversized "Board Game" for Grand National Day and for Ascot in June, and have begun making pretty hydrangea-type flowers from everyday items (namely toilet tissue & cotton buds!) to create garlands for Summer events. 😊

Another date for the diary...

Matthew Adlem will be delivering a British Sign Language (BSL) Community Session in The Bistro at 3.30pm on Monday 20th April. Further sessions will then take place on the 3rd Monday of every month.

Attendees will be able to learn BSL from the beginning – mastering the basics & then increasing knowledge according to the interests of the group.

We are inviting the people who live here & their families to attend as BSL is a valuable skill for anybody to have, and will be presented in a fun, informative way.

The course is free of charge and there will, of course, be cake!!

A date for the diary...

Please join us in The Bistro at 2pm on Friday for our Parkinson's Awareness Cafe - all welcome!

There will be a presentation by a representative from Parkinson's UK at 3pm, concisely outlining basic information about onset & symptoms of the disease.

Printed information will be available to read & take away, as well as supervised access to a laptop to look at resources & further information on the Parkinson’s UK website.

We will also be welcoming a representative from Telford and Wrekin All Age Carers' Centre. They will be able to offer a wealth of knowledge about local service providers, support & guidance for anybody who is caring for a loved one..

Refreshments will be provided - we look forward to seeing you there 🍰☕

Easter Sunday - The Bunny visited The Maples, with chocolate eggs for everybody who lives here!

She also brought along some special guests (in the shape of Care Companion Elwira Gladczak and her lovely children), who had spent several hours creating a bunny-shaped gift each for everybody, wearing their awesome hand-made "Easter Bonnets" - bringing smiles to the faces of those they visited as well as the odd hug 🤗😊🐰

We celebrated a BIG birthday with one of our wonderful gentlemen, with plenty of music, cake & reminiscences prompted by beautiful photos from his childhood & his global travels with his wife - it also happens to make him the eldest person living here! 🎉🍰🎊🎈😁

We waved the chicks off to their new home just before the Bank Holiday Weekend, but not before taking a few more photos - we had to check a certain Team Leader's pockets before they left!!
