What an Amazing Day!

We had the best time celebrating out official opening after gaining our CQC registration! The local community were amazing in turning out to help us celebrate in style in the glorious sunshine! Big thanks to all those who came, it meant so much to us to hear such positivity about the home and we are so delighted to have welcomed out first residents already! A big cheer also to the incredible team that helped make it all happen. Exciting times ahead for Whitewater Place!

🌊☀️A Beach Day at Adlington Manor! 🌊☀️

 
Today, we transported ourselves to a wonderful seaside setting, with the sound of the sea and plenty of beach-day fun!
 
Our residents enjoyed a delicious barbecue with kebabs, spring rolls, mango salsa and fresh salad, all washed down with refreshing cocktails and mocktails — complete with fruit kebabs to keep everyone hydrated. 
 
The afternoon was rounded off with a lively karaoke session before everyone relaxed with a well-earned cup of tea. 
 
A fantastic day filled with great food, music, laughter and wonderful memories!

Celebrating International Friendship Day

We celebrated International Friendship Day with a lovely trip to The Arborist Café with our sister care home, Kenwyn in Truro. The day was made even more special with a wonderful surprise for our resident, Rosemary, as some of her dear friends popped by to see her. It was a beautiful reminder that friendships never grow old.

Garden Centre

A lovely day out at the garden centre! Residents enjoyed browsing colourful flowers, picking out their favourites, and of course, a relaxing cup of tea. Fresh air, good company, and beautiful blooms; perfect!

Posh Picnics in the gardens

Getting out the bone china, fresh flowers on the tables and a delicious cuppa, nibbly finger food and dainty cakes, well you would smile wouldn't you?

One of our wonderful residents requested a picnic and we were only too happy to oblige, we work in their home and all enjoy the delight of fulfilling a request as lovely as this!

Birthday Celebrations with Home Made Cake!

We know how to have a party at Wimborne.

We also know the value of being made a fuss of too!

So when we celebrate Birthdays - which we always do - the cakes are favourites requested by the residents.

Colin had a Chocolate Fudge Cake!

 

 

Scam Prevention Talk Success at Glebefields From Age UK Oxfordshire

A huge thank you to Mandy Massam from Age UK Oxfordshire for visiting Glebefields  to deliver a vital talk on scam prevention!

Mandy shared eye-opening insights into the clever tactics scammers use across phone calls, texts, emails, and even doorstep visits, noting that only 1 in 5 scams are actually reported due to confusion or embarrassment.

Residents, staff, and families left with practical tools, safety leaflets, and the confidence to spot fraud early.

Our General Manager, Benazir Shakkir, extends her sincere thanks to Mandy for this incredibly informative session.
