Table Tennis Challenge
They say the best things come in pairs!
This afternoon, David and Jim (aka David Clinch and Friends) joined residents, families, friends, and staff in the lounge for an afternoon of poetry, story-telling, singing, music and jovial jokes. The atmosphere is best described as mellow, free from harshness or high energy intensity, making for an ideal tranquil setting. The entertainment was soft, slow tempo, and the relaxing sounds calmed everyone; easy on the ears.
David Clinch, “We love performing at Tyspane Care Home, the residents are wonderful, it is a pleasure.”
Thank you, David and Jim, you are two exceptional gentlemen who have volunteered at Tyspane Care Home for over twenty years.
Happy Easter from Trinity Manor
Today has been filled with smiles, laughter, and plenty of chocolate as our wonderful residents enjoyed a day of Easter celebrations.
From festive crafts and games to a delicious Easter meal, it’s been a joy to see everyone come together and share such special moments.
Sherborne Dance Academy
What a fantastic visit from Sherborne Dance Academy! Their energy and talent lit up the room, bringing joy and smiles to all our residents.
Thank you for such a wonderful performance!
Gardening club with Dale
A lovely day in the garden with Dale! Our Gardening Club got their hands dirty planting, pruning, and enjoying the fresh air. There’s nothing quite like watching things grow.
Everybody thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
The hatching of the Easter chicks
We are pleased to share that seven chicks have successfully hatched within our home, bringing a lovely touch of Easter joy.
Each chick has been thoughtfully named by our residents and staff, creating a wonderful mix of unique and endearing names. We have Joyce, Coffee, Dottie, Buttercup, Jemima, Chick Jagger and Archie!
Our staff love having them alongside them, as are all of our residents!
The chicks will remain with us until Thursday 9th April, before returning to their farm. This experience has brought great enjoyment to both residents and staff.
Visitors are warmly welcome to come and see them during this time.
Exercise sessions with Louie
Earlier this week, we were delighted to welcome an Easter Bunny with a difference, Louie from “Longevity with Louie”, who even joined us in bunny ears for his exercise session.
Louie’s sessions are always a big hit with residents, relatives, and staff. His upbeat energy, personal approach, and ability to connect with everyone make each session fun, engaging, and full of smiles.
We’re pleased that Louie will be joining us on as many alternate Wednesdays as possible, alongside our fantastic Active Broadway sessions with Annie, keeping our activity programme varied and enjoyable for all.
Enjoying the spring sunshine
Our gardens are looking particularly vibrant, filled with colourful spring blooms that our residents have lovingly helped to plant during our regular gardening club sessions as part of our activities programme.
Spending time outdoors, soaking up the sunshine and appreciating the beauty of the gardens, truly makes a wonderful difference to wellbeing.
Easter celebrations!
Residents and staff all enjoyed competing in an Easter bonnet competition. We also created our own fabulous flower arrangements, which we displayed around the home for all to enjoy.
We were then super surprised to be visited by 'Egg' who delivered some delicious treats for us all to enjoy.
It's been a wonderful Easter weekend.
