Mortain Place Care Home

All Aboard The Dotto Train ... Choo Choo

What a wonderful afternoon for our residents to get out and about, their summer hats on and enjoy a train journey on the Eastbourne Dotto train along the seafront. The route takes in the stunning coastal views and residents enjoyed the fresh air.

As an exciting surprise, we even spotted a Chinook helicopter flying overhead, which everyone enjoyed watching! A fantastic afternoon filled with laughter, fresh air and wonderful memories. It was great to take in everything Eastbourne’s seafront has to offer. Thank you to everyone who helped make it so special

Falmouth Court Care Home

Summer Garden Party

What a lovely afternoon at our Summer Garden Part.! It was wonderful to see everyone enjoying the music from the Misfits Band in the sunshine, along with good food, refreshments, and plenty of dancing and laughter.

Bayleaf Care Home

Two homes, one amazing afternoon

Some of our favourite activities at Bayleaf are the ones we get to spend with our friends from our sister homes, and today we were delighted to welcome our wonderful friends from Hilton Park once again.

It was lovely to see everyone sitting together, chatting, laughing, and enjoying each other’s company. The relaxed atmosphere soon turned into one of friendly competition when our quiz began, with everyone eager to put their knowledge to the test!

After all the excitement, we enjoyed a well-earned hot drink and some tasty snacks before saying our goodbyes as our Hilton Park friends headed back to Bottisham.

A big thank you for visiting us today. We always enjoy spending time together and can’t wait to welcome you back again soon.
