Friary Care had a great day raising money for the Macmillan Coffee Morning with our family and friends!

Lots of delicious cakes were made by Friary Care staff and enjoyed by residents, our residents' families and friends, and also our incredible health care professionals. These amazing treats were had whilst having a chat over coffee, surrounded by lovely decorations made by our own residents. And even though we had lots of cake we also made room for a very tasty chippy-tea!

The grand total raised was over £382.17! We are so proud to raise this money for Macmillan who do so many things to help people living with cancer. An amazing donation for such an amazing cause, due to an absolutely amazing day!

We at Friary Care want to say a massive thank you to our superb staff for your continued hard work (and also for providing delicious cakes for the day) but also to everyone who bought cakes and supported such an important cause!

We are delighted to share that our recent Macmillan Coffee Morning here at the home was a huge success!

Residents, families, and staff all came together to enjoy a wonderful morning filled with delicious cakes, sweet treats, and plenty of cups of coffee. Fun activities such as our raffle and the “How Many Coffee Cups” guessing game brought lots of smiles and laughter throughout the day.

It was heart-warming to see residents’ families joining in, making the morning extra special with their support and company. Thanks to everyone’s generosity, we are proud to announce that we raised an amazing £160 for Macmillan Cancer Support.

A big thank you goes out to all who baked, donated, and joined us – your kindness and community spirit made the event so memorable. Together, we’ve helped to support the wonderful work Macmillan do for those affected by cancer

We're celebrating National Day of Arts in Care Homes here at Friary Care!

The National Activity Providers Association (NAPA) champions arts in care homes, supporting a diverse range of creative activities. They promote these activities all year around but also host a special day each year, and this year their theme is 'Going Green'!

This year's theme, Going Green, means celebrating creativity through sustainability. Friary Care residents decided that with Autumn being upon us we were going to put our creative skills to the test by making some artistic trees.

And as we're 'Going Green' we made our tree with using different types of environmentally friendly sourced materials. These included: tree bark; pinecones, conkers, apples, different shades of green trigs, glitter, and some spare wall paper.

The residents all had a different type of vision and oh boy did we all have fun and lots of laughter by trying to make their vision a reality, so much fun was had by all. It was so nice to see staff and residents and families pull together and see all our efforts come together!

What a lovely day we had being artists for the day!

Wow, what a day! Friary Care has gone to the Sea Life Centre!

Our residents started the day by enjoying beautiful fresh air as we walked to the Sea Life Centre - it was so nice to enjoy the sun shining down on us as we left the home. And then we (staff, residents, and family members) lined up to go inside, ready and eager to have a day to remember!

We had such an amazing day! We saw so many captivating different species of fishes, sharks, otters, penguins, and more! We all had a fantastic sing-song, followed by a lovely picnic with staff and family members, we even had family members from some of very much loved previous residents volunteering and overall helping to make the day as magical as possible. This was so very nice, and it was this that allowed us to make so many new and beautiful memories.

Once we got back to the home, we finished off the day with a good old fashioned cup of tea and a glass of wine. All in all, we had such an amazing time and can't wait for the next lovely day out here at Friary Care!

We're all going on a summer holiday!

Friary Care takes pride in giving our wonderful residents lots of amazing events at any and all times of the year. That's why we've hosted a summer cocktail party BBQ!

We had the most incredible time - cocktails were flowing, burgers were munched, and we had a very special singing guest, Georgie! Georgie provided some absolutely banging vocals as we all helped ourselves to an extra banger or two! Residents and their loved ones savoured every moment - singing, dancing, and overall having a party like no other!
..The only problem? Well, it's not just 'Summer', it's 'British Summer'! So of course it had to rain, but we didn't let that dampen our spirits! Despite the bad weather, we all made some fantastic memories that will last a life time!

Today was a truly special and meaningful day here at friarycare as our residents came together to reflect, create, and connect, both with eachother and with the past.

We started by making paper poppies by hand. Each poppy was carefully crafted, with many residents sharing memories and thoughts about what the symbol means to them. A symbol of love, community and pride.

We spent time exploring one of our treasured memory boxes. This was filled not with wartime memorabilia, but with everyday items from years gone by. There were old baking tools, pieces of clothing, ration books and household bits and bobs that sparked rich conversation.

Later in the day, we gathered together to watch The Kings Parade, a moving and dignified tribute that brought the room together. The room was quiet as we watched, many of our residents clearly touched by the ceremony, the music, and the meaning behind it.

Today was about more than just remembering the past. It was about coming together as a community to mark Victory over Japan Day, honouring those who served, and celebrating the peace that followed

Hi there, This October, I’m walking 62 miles for Dementia UK – a cause close to my heart. Just £10 could pay for the telephone costs of two families calling its free Dementia Helpline, so any support would be appreciated. Thank you so much!

Friary Care residents have had an amazing sunny day out!

Our caring staff continue to do what they do best: going that extra mile so that residents, with their family and friends, can make wonderful memories on such a beautifully sunny day with a superb picnic!

Our day was so very special as we had such a lovely walk to, and around, the beautiful location that is our local public gardens. And what made our day even more special was finishing everything off with a McFlurry ice cream and a little sing song!

We truly have had such an incredible time - what could be better than spending a day in the sunshine and fresh air with the wonderful people in our lives!

If you go down to Friary Care, you're sure of a big surprise - because Friary's the place Teddy Bears have their picnic!

At Friary Care we have had an absolutely amazing time with the residents' family and friends - but also their Teddy Bears! We have invited everyone to the home to have a lovely time with their most favourite teddy.

We have decorated the home ready for the big party, had lots of fun with Teddy Bear face paint, balloon making into lots of exciting shapes and animals, and of course we've all had a lovely picnic buffett with our Teddy Bears!

We also had a very special guest, Connie Lee, who put on a fabulous show for us all. We all had a fantastic time enjoying singing, dancing, and lots and lots of laughter was had by all.

And at Friary Care... that's the way the Teddy Bears have their picnic!

It's cool to keep cool this summer at Friary Care!

We here at Friary Care absolutely love the summer sun! We enjoy nothing more than spending time in the garden, taking jaunts into town, and walking along the sands of Weymouth Beach - we are so lucky to live in such a wonderful area!

But as lovely as the summer weather is, it can be dangerous. Over the coming days there are several places in the UK that are expected to see scorching temperatures 30°C and above! When things get that hot the human body can lose its ability to regulate temperature, and if a person becomes severely dehydrated their blood thickens - this can put significant stress on the heart. For this reason we want to share some top tips to stay refreshed on these long sun-drenched days!

It's great to hydrate!
It's incredibly important to drink plenty of fluids throughout the day in order to keep hydrated. Also alcohol can dehydrate, so we're going to make a round of fruity mocktails instead!

Mad dogs and Englishmen!
Between 11am and 3pm, the sun is at its most fierce, so make sure you take care during these times. If you can, try to modify activities such that they don't take part during the hottest parts of the day, and also consider keeping in the shade.

The sun has got its hat on! Hip-hip-hip hooray!
It's incredibly important to wear appropriate clothing such as hats, sunglasses, and light-coloured, loose-fitting, and breathable fabrics. Also make sure to wear plenty of sun cream to protect your skin from UV rays!

Beat the heat - keep it cool!
When it gets this hot it's important to know some ways yo cool down. You can use fans, cool foot baths, misting spray bottles, and even ice packs to get some relief from the scorching heat. To keep things fun, residents and staff are having some juicy ice lollies! Cool, refreshing, and hydrating! What could be better!

If we all follow these helpful tips we can all have the best summer ever!

Friary Care is all set for Gentlemen's Day (also known as Father's Day)!

Instead of just fathers we want to celebrate all the amazing men in our lives. So to all the Fathers, Grandfathers, Grandads, Grandpas, Step Dads, Brothers, Uncles, Sons, or just really good friends - Happy Gentlemen's Day!

We will be celebrating today in a few different ways. We've had residents decorate the home with some amazing artwork, we have family and friends visiting residents, we have tables at the ready for a lovely meal (with each seat having a special gift waiting for each of our incredible residents), a beer or two chilling in the fridge for those who want them, and we also have a chess board at the ready for some of our more competitve residents!

From everyone here at Friary Care, we'd like to wish all of our gentlemen, and their families, a very happy gentlemen's day!

Making your home with Friary Care

The care and comfort of all those whose live with us is always our highest priority. We appreciate that living in a care home is not the same as having your own home, so we make it our responsibility to meet all your personal requirements in such a way as to ensure you are relaxed and happy.

Your own bedroom, with the option to bring own items of furniture

Emergency call systems in every bedroom

Large lounge and dining area to socialise with residents and visiting friends and families

A tailored care plan when you move in

We take extra care to ensure all of your needs are catered for. All of our rooms have emergency call systems so our staff are never far away should you need them. You are welcome to bring any items of your own furniture and all of our rooms are accessible by wheelchair even if you do not need one right now.

Care to meet your needs

You can socialise with other residents and visiting friends and families in our large lounge or dining areas. Whilst we have set meal times, we are happy for people to ask for a variation on these if they wish and we are very happy to serve the meals in your room if that is what you prefer. If you are hungry through the night, the staff will happily make you toast and a drink.

We plan your meals with you and ensure that your room is homely and comfortable, we can arrange for you to go shopping if you wish, go out for coffee, visit the cinema, and organise trips further afield if you wish. We have regular entertainment laid on in the home that you can attend.

📷

The care we offer is individually tailored to your needs, we continuously seek everyone’s views, hold resident’s meetings and collect responses to our questionnaires, so that we can continue to improve.

We are open to both positive and negative feedback, and operate a no-blame culture, as we know mistakes are an inevitable part of life, the key is to learn from them.

Your accommodation at Friary Care is designed to ensure that when you make your home with us you continue to enjoy life to the full and can call on the staff day and night to meet your needs.
