Celebrating life at Barchester

Our residents regularly enjoy sessions with James from Homefit Vitality! These seated physical activity sessions give everyone the chance to stay active, engaged, and have fun together.

Keeping our residents active is very important to us, as it plays a key role in supporting their overall health and wellbeing. Sessions like these help promote mobility, boost mood, and encourage social interaction in a safe and enjoyable way.

It’s always lovely to see so many smiles while keeping both body and mind moving.

This Easter at Collingtree Park Care Home, the atmosphere was filled with excitement and joy as residents enjoyed  a delightful visit from the Easter Bunny, who brought smiles, laughter, and a touch of magic to everyone present.

The special guest spent time with residents, sharing warm hugs and friendly conversation. There were plenty of opportunities for photos, creating lovely memories that will be cherished by all. Residents thoroughly enjoyed the interaction, with many reminiscing about past Easter celebrations.

The visit created a wonderful sense of community and bringing everyone together. It was a heart-warming day full of smiles, laughter, and seasonal joy, truly capturing the spirit of Easter at Collingtree Park Care Home.

We enjoyed a fun-filled Easter, with activities ranging from a hot cross bun tasting to a visit from local nursery children.

Our `Buns & Bunnies` themed tasting saw residents sample hot cross bun flavours of strawberries & clotted cream, extra fruity, salted caramel & chocolate, cheese, and apple & cinnamon, with salted caramel and extra fruity crowned joint favourites.

A highlight of the Easter week was a visit from Rockers and Rollers Day Nursery for a garden egg hunt followed by a cheerful singalong. Resident Rose, fondly known as `Little Gran` to her great grandson who attends the nursery, helped hand out the treats.

These shared activities bring real joy and meaningful connection for everyone involved.

After 22 years of continuous service at Mallard Court Care Home in Bridlington, much-loved Housekeeper, Susan Kirby has decided to retire.

Staff and residents at the home sent Sue off with some lovely flowers and plenty of cuddles. Everyone at the home has very fond memories of Sue and she will be sadly missed.

Sue said: “Mallard Court is like a family to me and though I’m looking forward to retirement, I’m really going to miss everyone here so much!”

Join us for this AMAZING event where we will be joined by Petra from PK Travels, tasting the menus from Mexico and fully embracing the Mexican cultures of music, dress and celebrations...
