Life at Badgeworth Court Care Home
Celebrating Dame Vera Lynn's Birthday
Last Sunday would have been Dame Vera Lynn's 105th birthday. To mark the occasion, we welcomed back Carole from “Cats Pyjamas” who performed Vera Lynn’s songs. Residents thanked Carole for such beautiful singing; there were smiles, clapping, dancing, singing and lots of memories shared.
Relaxing Sunday
It was a relaxing Sunday at Badgeworth Court. Our residents enjoyed a lovely walk in our gardens. There was then a lovely visit from Pate's Grammar School, spending individual time with our residents. Thank you to volunteer students John and Dowon for their time.
Happy St Patrick's Day!
Badgeworth Court Care Centre celebrated St. Patrick's Day in style. The home was decorated with shamrocks and green balloons with everyone dressing in green to mark the day. The activities team put on some Irish chair dancing, including chair steps for all abilities all with fun Irish music in the background. It was a great morning followed by Irish dishes for lunch, along with some Guinness tasting!
Cheltenham Festival
Our residents have really enjoyed watching the first two days of the Cheltenham Festival in our main lounge.
The activities team provided a wonderful range of snacks and drinks for the afternoon, knowing everyone's favourites for them to choose from.
Residents shared their memories of the Cheltenham festival and horses, supported by some books from Cheltenham Library.
Music Therapy
Badgeworth Court were delighted to welcome Sing with Rosie music therapy. It was a lovely afternoon spent with a small group of ladies singing along and sharing musical memories together. Music therapy offers so many benefits and for those living with dementia; music reduces anxiety and encourages relaxation.
Busy Week at Badgeworth Court!
Residents celebrated several occasions and enjoyed a variety of activities at Badgeworth Court this week. Pancake Day was celebrated in style with pancake flipping and a little competition with residents and team members! We were also delighted to welcome Mind Song whose performances are always so enjoyable. On Memory Lane residents spent time using the interactive Magic Table and we ended the week with our gardening club.
