Life at Badgeworth Court Care Home
Garden Centre Visit
Badgeworth Court Care Centre - Barchester Healthcare residents had a lovely time yesterday visiting the local garden Centre. our residents enjoyed smelling and looking around the beautiful colourful plants and flowers and visiting the coffee shop for a pot of tea and teacakes afterwards. We look forward to next week's adventures.
Mediterranean Day
As part of mental awareness week we thought we would have a Mediterranean day and allow people to talk about their past holidays. Our Chef Nick prepared some fabulous taste of the Mediterranean dishes including homemade focaccia bread, olives, a selection of meats, cheeses and Tiramisu. The residents enjoyed tasting the flavours and listening to a film in the background taking them through all the sightseeing places across the Mediterranean. The afternoon was lovely and allowed our residents to reminisce with wonderful food and wine.
Local Chinese dancing Group Visit
We recently welcomed the local Chinese dancing group who entertained are residents with a morning of traditional Chinese dancing. The ladies looked
beautiful in their wonderful colourful costumes and talked to our residents about Chinese traditions. Thank you to Yvonne and your talented team we hope to see you again soon.
Village Bakery Visit
Our residents have had a lovely time at the Village Bakery. shop owner Noushien talked to our residents about memories of their favourite pudding growing up to be considered for our pudding club. The weather was beautiful so the ladies decided to have a delicious raspberry and white chocolate ice cream in the sunshine which was thoroughly enjoyed.
Flower arranging
The residents had a fun morning here at Badgeworth Court making flower arrangements to display around the home. Flower arranging has proved to be a relaxing and therapeutic activity and this has certainly been seen with our residents today.
Chocolate virtual tour
The residents at Badgeworth Court had a fascinating virtual visit to the Harrogate Chocolate Factory today.
The Factory was founded by Harrogate Skills 4 Living, a registered charity that provides care, support and accommodation to people in the Harrogate District with learning disabilities and autism.
Our residents had the opportunity to learn more about how the chocolate factory and café came about, followed by a detailed journey of the bean-to-bar chocolate making process. The residents had lovely time dipping strawberries and marshmallows in chocolate whilst watching.
