What activity to choose?
Something for everyone is always available in the home. Residents enjoy working with the team to plan the weekly/daily activities to ensure that their is always a broad selection of choice.
Some of the activities this week was residents playing whist and dominoes, for some it was a new
experience and fellow residents enjoyed teaching them the rules.
The weekly craft club created a beautiful handmade felt wreath.
And there is always time for one to one walks in the beautiful gardens.
Flower Club
Visiting friends
Field House residents joined our sister home, The Wheatlands Care Home - Barchester Healthcare at the Priory Hall for the monthly carers connect event.
Where the fabulous Sal Tonge Storyteller entertained us with an afternoon of music and storytelling and took us all on a trip down memory lane.
A trip to the seaside
Residents summer outing to the coast! Barmouth was today’s destination. Such a beautiful, relaxing day, just what the doctor ordered: fish and chips and ice cream. Hillary had such a surprise to see her family on the beach enjoying a day out.
How lucky were we to see the RNLI LIFE BOAT being set to work out at sea.
Gillian's birthday celebrations
Fantastic afternoon with the lovely Debbie, entertaining our residents at Field House. Gillian enjoyed celebrating her birthday with her friends and dancing the afternoon way, she said it felt so special celebrating with her friends and everyone singing Happy Birthday.
We love to party!
Drum Roll please for the amazing lads who performed for our Residents today!
Matt Vinyl and the Undercoats played live for our ladies and gentlemen and what an amazing acoustic performance it was.
Philip handed out music sheets to our residents so everyone could join in singing and yes we did with zest as well as dancing to the band.
A gift for Joan
After much consideration of what to do with the wonderful gifts donated to us earlier in the week, the staff at Sherwood Lodge thought that offering Joan a new stuffed toy would bring her comfort and joy.
Joan was brought to the office where donations were being sorted, and was offered a choice of two dogs to choose from. This brought back many memories of Joan’s previous dogs, and she fondly reminisced on the two dogs she had and the 10 pups she then had to sell!
We hope this toy brings Joan comfort and company during the time she spends in her room and is a meaningful companion for her at Sherwood Lodge.
Rock and roll revival!
What an incredible show put on by Tom from Mini Concerts!
The Sherwood Lodge dance floor has never been so full! Everyone certainly loved this wonderful performance of 50s rock and roll music. It is amazing to see our residents have a blast, singing along and dancing with each other.
These shows support our residents in reminiscing on memories, while creating new ones and fostering incredible friendships within the home.
Barton Grange
Some of our residents enjoyed a wonderful day out in Barton Grange.
They enjoyed reminiscing on their many trips there in the past as they stopped and smelled the flowers. Plenty of laughs were shared in the café as they enjoyed delicious drinks and treats, creating wonderful new memories to share together.
