🎶 Music that Moves the Heart at Grappenhall Manor 🎸

At New Care, we know that music has the incredible ability to lift spirits, spark memories, and bring people together. Recently, our residents at Grappenhall Manor Care Centre in Warrington had a special treat as Al toured the first floor with his guitar, filling the air with familiar tunes and sing-along favourites. 🎵💛

For those who spend a little more time in their rooms, Al’s visit brought a warm and uplifting atmosphere, with one resident sharing, “It’s really made my day that he came to see me.” It’s moments like these that remind us how powerful music can be in enhancing wellbeing and creating connections.

Thank you, Al, for spreading so much joy!

💛 Wellbeing Wednesday 💛

Is your cup empty, half full, or overflowing?

This week, we explored the importance of looking after ourselves before we care for others — because we can’t pour from an empty cup. ☕

We asked ourselves: What brings us peace?

From simple moments like a quiet walk or a trip to the gym, to planning a holiday or just switching off from social media — taking time for you matters.

We also reminded each other to avoid the chaos and drama that can drain our energy — and instead, focus on calm, connection, and self-care. 🌿

🕊️ “Together, we find our peace.” 🕊️

Let’s keep encouraging each other to refill our cups and protect our peace — one small act at a time.

💞 Wellbeing Wednesday at Bridgewater Manor 💞

"Be Kind to Yourself"

This week’s theme was a gentle reminder that one small act of kindness to yourself can make all the difference. 🌸

Whether it's a long soak in the bath 🛀, slipping into fresh pyjamas and crisp bed linen, or simply enjoying a quiet moment with a warm cup of hot chocolate ☕ — self-care looks different for everyone.

We had a lovely discussion about the ways we each show kindness to ourselves, all while enjoying a delicious spread of healthy treats 🍇🍓 — a gift to both body and soul!

Because here at Bridgewater Manor, we believe that looking after yourself is just as important as looking after others.
