Celebrating life at Barchester

We had such a beautiful afternoon in the garden for our resident's Paint & Sip . After the initial and very modest 'Oh , I can't draw/paint !' everyone enjoyed a few sips of cold fizz and found their own creative style .  From Prosecco to Picasso in just an hour!.... and in Shirley's case a lovely chance for a little nap in the sunshine.

Ice Cream in the Sunshine! Our residents enjoyed a lovely trip out on the minibus during the heatwave for a delicious alfresco ice cream at a local restaurant! Lots of smiles, sunshine and sweet treats - the perfect way to cool down and enjoy a summer’s day!

It was fantastic to see so many smiles, singing, dancing, and happy memories being shared.
A huge thank you to our amazing staff for all their hard work in making the day so special. Your care and dedication are truly appreciated.

Something for everyone is always available in the home. Residents enjoy working with the team to plan the weekly/daily activities to ensure that their is always a broad selection of choice.

Some of the activities this week was residents playing whist and dominoes, for some it was a new 

experience and fellow residents enjoyed teaching them the rules.

The weekly craft club created a beautiful handmade felt wreath.

And there is always time for one to one walks in the beautiful gardens.

Field House residents joined our sister home, The Wheatlands Care Home - Barchester Healthcare at the Priory Hall for the monthly carers connect event.

Where the fabulous Sal Tonge Storyteller entertained us with an afternoon of music and storytelling and took us all on a trip down memory lane.  

Residents summer outing to the coast! Barmouth was today’s destination. Such a beautiful, relaxing day, just what the doctor ordered: fish and chips and ice cream. Hillary had such a surprise to see her family on the beach enjoying a day out. 

How lucky were we to see the RNLI LIFE BOAT being set to work out at sea.

Fantastic afternoon with the lovely Debbie, entertaining our residents at Field House. Gillian enjoyed celebrating her birthday with her friends and dancing the afternoon way, she said it felt so special celebrating with her friends and everyone singing Happy Birthday.

We love to party!

Matt Vinyl and the Undercoats played live for our ladies and gentlemen and what an amazing acoustic performance it was.  

Philip handed out music sheets to our residents so everyone could join in singing and yes we did with zest as well as dancing to the band.
