Our baking club at Hazelmere was hard at work yesterday. We made Irish wheaten bread which proved very popular. Only one of our residents had tasted wheaten bread before, and not surprisingly he is Irish! He loved the bread and asked for a second piece so we must have got the recipe right!

Jayne Macfarlane livened Hazelmere House up when she visited last week. There was a lot of audience participation and interaction, singing along and even some dancing. Jayne had quite a country theme this time, something that always seems to go down well with our residents. Everyone is really looking forward to her next visit!

The lounge at Hazelmere was filled with colour, cheers and a lot of competitive spirit this afternoon, as Elliot from Sportschool came for his monthly visit. Our residents gently exercised and tested out their hand/eye coordination using balloons, balls, bean bags and targets. Lots of fun was had by everyone present. Thank you Elliot, our residents really enjoy your visits!

We had a blast from the past this afternoon when we got the table top games out for several residents, including Callum, our fabulous work experience helper, and even a passing by paramedic!
Who can resist a game of dominoes, or Operation, which led to games of cards, pass the bomb and the yes/no game?!
You just can't beat those retro games 🥰

Sleep is as important for our health as our diets and exercise, yet we often cut it short.

Follow these 5 tips to get the most out of it:
1. Whilst the length of sleep is important (aim for 7-9 hrs a night) but quality of sleep is important too. Improve sleep quality by removing distractions from your bedroom, avoiding caffeine late in the day.
2. Sleep consistency is important - going to bed and waking up at the same time each day (even on weekends or kids’ holidays) can improve how restorative your sleep is. Keep lie-ins less than 1 hour.
3. Stop snoozing! Each time you fall back to sleep, you initiate a new sleep cycle which takes 90 mins to complete, so breaking it by another alarm 10 mins later is added stress on your body
4. Keep your bedroom cool - your body needs to drop its temperature to initiate and maintain sleep
5. Screen time before bed has similar effects to drinking coffee on the brain. Avoid screens and blue light in the hour before sleep.

This year I’ve partnered with Bupa to bring you evidence based health information, that you can trust - for more sleep tips, check out Bupa’s website and the Bupa Health YouTube channel!

We were fortunate last week to have the very talented Rebecca Done in to Hazelmere to sing to us. Rebecca sang "A Tribute To Music Through The Decades". Rebecca's visit coincided with our lovely Head of Care Laura's leaving presentation and made the day extra special. Rebecca is very popular at Hazelmere, one of our residents Gerald made a really big effort to attend, Gerald doesn't come to activities very often, but he was well rewarded as Rebecca sang to him!

We had a busy afternoon yesterday at Hazelmere making Bailey's cheesecake truffles. The truffles were non bake but did require quite some time in the fridge to set, so we had some games of dominoes and a chat to pass the time. The truffles were worth waiting for though and received excellent feedback from our residents!

Friday was a very sad day at Hazelmere, as we had to say goodbye to our amazing Laura, one of our heads of care.
Laura is moving on to be a deputy manager at another care home and will be a fantastic asset to them. Laura has always been hard working, super efficient at her job, full of energy and has kept us all laughing through thick and thin. She has the respect of all her co-workers and we will miss her greatly.
All her friends here at Hazelmere both staff and residents wish her the very best in her future career and hope she comes back in to see us as often as possible.
👏😘❤️
