Ivy Lodge Retirement Home

We had a wonderful afternoon yesterday celebrating Margaret’s milestone 90th birthday. Keith and the Ivy Lodge dancers ensured the afternoon was full music, comedy and dancing followed by a slap up tea! Many happy returns to Margaret🥳

The Ivy lodge Dancers excelled themselves with possibly their best and most appreciated dance to date in celebration of one of our residents' 90th birthday👏👏

It’s been a few weeks since our last post but that’s not due to a lack of material. We’ve had 3 more birthdays to celebrate with parties and amazing cakes of course, activities out in the garden to make the most of the lovely weather as well as knitting, shopping trips and all the usual activities Maria organises to ensure every day is full of fun.

We had an amazing summer fair on Saturday and managed to raise £900 which will be split equally between the residents’ fund and Dementia Forward, a very worthy local dementia charity.
Thanks so much to all of you who donated prizes and to those of you who were so generous on the day.

We will be serving refreshments (tea, coffee, scones and sponge cake) and we will be selling home made cakes (with a new addition of amazing pistachio cupcakes!)running a raffle, tombola, bottle stall, jewellery stall and for the first time we will have a nail bar (gel nails or a polish).

We’ve celebrated Mary’s and Hazel’s birthday with more amazing cakes and a party where Keith came to entertain everyone for the afternoon. We also had a very well supported flower arranging morning and we finished the week with a fabulous trip out to Burnby Hall to see the water Lillie’s and the lovely gardens.

The lovely weather has enabled us to have a couple of outings recently to Dean’s Garden Centre and Miss Daisy’s Tea Rooms in Sutton on the forest. We’ve also celebrated another birthday and started up a new choir with the help of one of our fabulous entertainers, Ruth Strangeway.
