This week saw another instalment of our “Whodunnit?” series. 🕵️‍♀️

Residents worked together to solve puzzles and play games, uncovering clues to crack the mystery of who stole the Blackmoor family brooch.

An afternoon full of fun, teamwork, and plenty of laughter!

Residents recently began a new art project, starting by looking through books for inspiration. 🎨

Some chose landscapes, flowers, and plants, while others were drawn to more abstract ideas. It was a fun and creative session, full of imagination and individuality.

We’ll be continuing the project over the next few weeks, giving residents time to develop their pieces until they’re truly happy with the results.

We set out to solve the mystery of the “Golden Egg”. 🐣

Residents became detectives for the day, eliminating suspects and solving puzzles to uncover the culprit — a fun and engaging activity that kept everyone guessing.

After all the excitement, we relaxed and enjoyed the cakes we had made, along with a well-earned cup of tea.

With Easter just around the corner, it was time to get baking. 🐣

Residents enjoyed making bunny cupcakes and chocolate nests, bringing plenty of creativity (and a little indulgence) into the day. A fun and festive activity to get everyone into the Easter spirit.

As part of Week, residents enjoyed some time in the sunshine while keeping refreshed and well hydrated. ☀️

With a choice of thick milkshakes, ice lollies, ice cream floats, or fresh juice, it was a lovely way to stay cool, enjoy the weather, and make the most of simple seasonal treats together.

We celebrated Mother’s Day with a lovely flower arranging session. 💐

Residents always enjoy this activity, carefully creating beautiful arrangements before sharing the vases of fresh blooms with other residents who were unable to join us in the lounge — a thoughtful gesture that brought smiles throughout the home.

This weekend our armchair travels took us to Germany 🇩🇪

Residents enjoyed sharing memories of their holidays while learning more about German culture and the many German words we use in English today — from angst to muesli. The session included word puzzles and a lively quiz, before everyone finished the afternoon with some German-inspired snacks, including salami and pretzels. 🥨

A fun and engaging journey, all without leaving the comfort of home.

On the weekend, we hosted another prize bingo event here at Ford Place, bringing together residents, staff, and families for a wonderfully sociable occasion.

The dining room was full of anticipation and laughter as everyone joined in, and we were delighted to hold our pamper raffle draw, congratulations to all of our winners.

Thank you to everyone who came along and took part, and a special thank you to our chef Gill for preparing some delicious snacks for everyone to enjoy.
