Our residents at Melrose have told us that they especially enjoy tasting different a foods and trying different drinks.

So at the weekend they voted to do some Gin pairing with botanicals;
Cucumber, mint, basil, rosemary, pepper corns, juniper berries citrus, berries.

The mixers they used were -
ginger ale, elderflower or tonic.

There are numerous benefits of stimulating our taste buds.
The key advantages are improved digestion, better nutrient absorption and an increased enjoyment of healthy eating.

Our residents are always pleased to try something new that they haven’t done before.
This is another reason why they chose to come to Melrose.

It was great this week to celebrate St Patrick’s day.

We enjoyed some Baileys with Ice , Irish biscuits along with some Irish Music.

Our residents didn’t take any persuasion to get up and dance 😀

Our residents say that they love at Melrose they still get to do the things they enjoy doing.

‘It’s why they chose to come to Melrose’

It was lovely to share the day today with families at Melrose.

Happy Mothers Day to all.

Today some of the residents at Melrose joined the Art Class.

We actively ask our residents how they would like to spend their days.
They told us that they would like to start an art class.

So that’s what we did.
Our residents tell us that they feel listened to and their requests are acted on and this is just one of the reasons they chose to come to Melrose.

In addition research has proven that Art provides significant physical, mental, and emotional benefits by reducing stress hormones, lowering anxiety, and boosting mood through increased endorphin and dopamine levels.

Today the residents and staff said …..

See you soon to May

as she heads off for her maternity leave.

We all already know she is having a Baby Boy but the babies name will be a surprise.

She only has a couple of weeks to go if all goes to plan.

We can’t wait to hear the news May 😀👏👏

May wanted to express her thanks to everyone for their kindness, good wishes, and amazing gifts.
Also Maria for the lovely cakes x

Earlier this week the residents at Melrose enjoyed some time together

It was listed as Coffee Tasting with Pastries and honey... we tried Kenyan, Peruvian, a Costa blend and an espresso.... Overall Peruvian was the favourite.

They say as you get older you often don’t want to do much and be on your own.

This really isn’t the case for many of the residents at Melrose.
They love to try new things and spend time socialising together.

This is why many of them chose Melrose.
There is nearly always someone to chat with or something to do.

Well done to the team that make this happen. 👏

Some of our residents enjoyed our Embracing Age session.

These sessions are supported by volunteers. Many of our residents say that they are grateful they have opportunities to continue to express their faith.

On reflection our residents said they were really pleased to join and be part of the time together.

At Melrose we want our residents to feel they belong and it was wonderful to hear they told us they do. 😀

It was great fun this morning to get involved with the residents for their in house excercise class.

We were aided by some younger people who helped us pick up the balls which were going all over the place.

We were all trying to show off our throwing and catching skills! Some residents were very keen to catch each other out!

A resident said to me this morning that they love being at Melrose as there is always something to do and today was no different.
This was one of the reasons they chose to come to Melrose.

It was as always great to have Matt join us as a Physio from The Good Therapy Group.

This isn’t just any old class but it’s based on the residents we have at any one time to help them continue to develop their strength and ability.

Excersie is so important to keep our physical and mental health well.

It also helps us socialise and connect with others in a meaningful way.

Often one of the reasons our residents say they chose Melrose as we have a regular group physio session included.

Such a beautiful day outside with the Sun shining although quite a chill in the air.

However inside at Melrose we have been enjoying celebratating Valentine’s Day.

The room was wonderfully decorated there were some special treats to eat along with some Sparkling Wine to share a toast or two!

One of our Values at Melrose is Enjoyment and Fun. Our residents tell us that there is always someone around to laugh with and have some fun.

Enjoyment and regular leisure activities provide significant mental and physical health benefits, including reduced stress, fosters better mood, increases creativity, and strengthens social connections.
And gives an overall sense of Well Being.

This is why our residents and families chose Melrose.

Enjoyment and Fun is one of our key Values here at Melose.

Today it was clear to see everyone enjoying themselves with the Ballroom Dancers.

Some of our residents and staff were able to show off their skills.

A definate win for a wet drizzly Tuesday morning.

The smiles on everyone’s faces shows the impact this session had.

One of the reasons (amongst others) our residents chose Melrose is because of the fun and laughter experienced every day.

07/02/2026

Some of the residents at Melrose enjoyed a Ping Pong Challenge with the Olympics in mind.

It is said that Ping Pong improves reflexes, hand-eye coordination and balance whilst strengthening core muscles of the upper and lower body.

The Team at Melrose have a holistic approach to care and ensure that our residents have opprtunity to keep active.

This is why many residents and families chose Melrose.
