Let’s play some golf
Embracing the joy of possibility, one of our residents took to the green, armed with air balls, a golf club, and a makeshift flag stick. On a sun-kissed afternoon, the perfect setting for limitless potential unfolded.

Residents Get Bowled Over at Fountains
There was some friendly competition at Fountains Care Home as residents gathered in the lounge for an afternoon of carpet bowls!
With the bowls laid out and everyone ready to take their turn, residents put their aim and accuracy to the test, trying to get their bowls as close to the jack as possible.
Carpet bowls is always a welcome addition to our activities calendar, offering residents the chance to enjoy a little healthy competition without having to venture outdoors. There was plenty of encouragement from the sidelines as everyone took turns, with some impressive shots along the way!
A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon, although we suspect a few residents might be practicing their technique before the next game!
Sherry Social
Our residents had a lovely time at our new Sherry Social weekend activity! We are going to be putting this on more often for our residents as the feedback was so good. The sun even put his hat on for the occassion and we enjoyed some Autumn rays in the garden.
Melvyn Takes the Crown at Fountains Quiz!
It was time to put those thinking caps on at Fountains Care Home as residents gathered for another round of Carl's quiz!
With questions to test everyone's general knowledge, residents enjoyed a little friendly competition as they worked their way through the rounds, sharing answers and putting their memories to the test!
This week's quiz champion Melvyn, who impressed everyone with his knowledge and took home the winning title!
Our regular quizzes are always a popular part of the activities calendar, bringing residents together for an afternoon of conversation, fun and a little healthy rivalry.
A big congratulations to Melvyn on his win! The question now is whether he can hold on to his title next time!

Trip to Cherry Lane
A delightful trip to Cherry Lane Garden Centre!
Our residents enjoyed picking up some beautiful bulbs ready for a little planting activity next week. We can’t wait to get our hands dirty and see them bloom!
And of course it wouldn’t be the same if we didn’t indulge in a cuppa and a cake!
Celebrating National Chef Day at Hampton Grove
Today, we wanted to do something extra special to celebrate and thank our wonderful Chef’s and kitchen team for everything they do for us! Some of our residents popped on chef whites, and took centre stage as they served a delicious afternoon tea to our kitchen team. Thank you for filling our home with delicious food, kindness and care. We are so lucky to have you!
