Life at Badgeworth Court Care Home
Beatrix potter museum
We visited the Beatrix Potter Museum with some residents recently. Tucked away in the old back streets near Gloucester Cathedral it brought back a lot of memories for our residents. The museum provides unique gifts and collectibles in a quaint, old world shop with a small museum upstairs. The residents and staff thoroughly enjoyed visiting the shop and some bought gifts home with them. It was a great day out had by all.
Church service
Every other Wednesday we are lucky enough to have our local church ‘Badgeworth Praise’ come to visit. Their favorite hymns are heard all the way down corridors as our residents sing to their hearts content. At the end of the service a Holy Communion is offered to everyone especially those prefer to stay in their rooms during the Church service. We enjoy building bonds with our local community at Badgeworth court.
Introducing the new manager to our activities
Our residents love fresh fruit, so we decided to make our own fruit skewers with melted chocolate outside in the courtyard. Each resident had the choice of strawberries, mango, pineapple and kiwis to slide onto their skewers, they could then drizzle them in milk, white and dark chocolate. It wasn't long before the fruit and chocolate were gone, with help from our new general manager Xin. It was a nice way to welcome her to Badgeworth Court even if she did get covered in melted chocolate!
Summer BBQ
The beautiful weather has provided us with the perfect excuse for a summer BBQ. Burgers, sausages, salad and desserts were served to residents and their family and friends, whilst Sheila and Steve sang hit pop and jazz classics for everyone to enjoy The evening was a great success and was enjoyed by residents, family and staff.
