A wonderful start for Moveball!

We had a brilliant afternoon launching our very first Moveball session. The atmosphere in the home was full of joy, laughter, and great energy.

Sensory Smiles & Beautiful Blooms

A couple of our lovely residents spent a wonderful morning flower arranging with Lynn from Blooming Useful Floral Art & Design . There is truly nothing better than the simple joy of touching the soft petals and taking in the beautiful, fresh scents of nature. It was a heart warming session filled with smiles and creativity.

National Prosecco Day

In what was an afternoon filled with bubbles, our residents took to the shade of the garden to enjoy an afternoon of fizz and strawberries!

A lovely way to celebrate National Prosecco Day together.

A Pawsome Dog Show

We had a fantastic afternoon at our very own dog show last weekend. With plenty of wagging tails, proud owners and lots of smiles from our residents and team. A huge well done to all of our four-legged competitors, choosing the winners certainly wasn’t easy!

Winners !

At Mulberry Court Barchester Healthcare, we love a good game of indoor bowls, offering an excellent, low-impact activity for both the community and our residents, which promotes both physical and mental well-being.

Rolling the bowl toward the target enhances hand-eye coordination and spatial awareness, as well as encouraging a wonderful, structured group setting that encourages conversation, friendly competition, and community belonging, which is part of the Barchester Life Enrichment engagement.

Country and Western Morning

A wonderful Morning of Country & Western.

We had a fantastic morning at Moors Manor enjoying a Country & Western themed activity!

Our residents really embraced the spirit of the morning, with cowboy hats, toe-tapping music, singing, dancing and plenty of smiles along the way. It was lovely to see everyone getting involved, having fun and enjoying the music together.

There was a wonderful atmosphere throughout the morning, with lots of laughter, happy memories and great company. Activities like this are such a lovely way to bring everyone together and create special moments to enjoy.

Outing to Hillier Garden Centre at Syon Park

Residents from Atfield House embarked on another outing to enjoy what September still has to offer and to catch the last messages of summer – rays of sunshine. The weather was mild, the rain had already dissipated, a pleasant day for an outing to a sheltered café in the grounds of Syon Park, the Hillier Garden Centre. Residents enjoyed the outdoor experience and chatting about their purchases they made here some time ago. We all admired the colourful flower displays, before enjoying tea, or coffee and cake in the small, but cosy café. The old stonework around us was marvellous to behold, as we enjoyed a social time together.

Everyone had enjoyed this outing and the change of scenery, but we were also glad to return to the familiar surroundings within Atfield House.

Respite Reunion

Elderwood House recently welcomed back some familiar faces for its first Respite Reunion, bringing together former respite guests and their families for a relaxed fish and chip lunch.

The afternoon provided a lovely opportunity for guests to reconnect with the team, catch up with friends they had made during their stays and share their memories of life at Elderwood House.

Late Nights & Good Company

There’s something special about an evening at Elderwood when our residents come together for a game, a little wine spritz and plenty of laughter!

The atmosphere is always full of warmth, friendship and fun. We’re not just a care home — we’re one big family, and these are the moments that make life so special.
