Dance Sessions with Becky
Farm visit
Our residents had a wonderful morning at Bockett’s farm in Bookham, making the most of the beautiful sunshine. They had the opportunity to enjoy a change of scenery, and spend quality time together, sharing a lovely cup of tea and some delicious cake. It was a joyful and sociable outing, residents returning feeling happy and refreshed.
Being around the animals is a true joy and brings back very fond memories.
A lovely Sunday at Cossins House Care Home
Our residents have enjoyed a wonderful Sunday filled with smiles, companionship and meaningful activities. Some residents enjoyed staying outside the garden to have fresh air, peaceful surroundings and lovely company. While the rest of the residents get involved with puzzles and scrabbles, sharing plenty of friendly competition and conversation along the way.
It was a lovely day of keeping active, socialising and enjoying the simple pleasures of Sunday together. What a wonderful day.
Creative mojo arts
What an amazing afternoon enjoying arts and crafts with Tina from Creative Mojo. The residents were encouraged to paint the themed artwork of Alice in Wonderland.
Everyone had the opportunity to make their own choices about colours. It was a relaxed and enjoyable experience and was wonderful to see the residents engaged, focused and proud of their finished artwork.
A Little Pastry Making Magic at Cossins House!
Our lovely residents rolled up their sleeves and got back into pastry making today, putting their wonderful baking skills to good use!
Using delicious marmalade, jam and cheese, we created a fabulous selection of sweet and savoury pastries for all our residents and staff to enjoy.
It was a wonderful afternoon of sharing skills, reminiscing about baking days gone by, and enjoying laughter and conversation together.
There’s nothing quite like the smell of freshly baked pastries filling our home!
Sunshine on a rainy day!

Generations come together when Boogie Beats bring children to play with the residents
Cadbury Hall's residents were delighted by the energy of the children of Boogie Beats.
Boogie Beats is a group that travel from care home to care home bringing children and their child minders to partake in story-telling, music and movement along side interacting with older adults living in the care homes.
Boogie Beats leader Nat, had the children and residents captivated by the stories of the farmer that planted seeds and grew giant pumpkins. She had the children and residents pretending to pull out giant pumpkins then invited them to move their bodies and sing along to music.
“They are so energetic, I remember when I had that much energy” said resident Maureen as she giggled at the children dancing around the room.
