Life at Badgeworth Court Care Home
Church service
One of our regular events on the activities calendar here at Badgeworth court is the 'Badgeworth praise' event with the local parish church. This is popular with the residents and involves singing some favorite hymns, a bible reading and a short talk. This session was extra special as we celebrated Christmas by hearing the nativity story
Pate's school visit
Our residents were invited to visit the year 8 students at Pate's school for their "Christmas in the community" event. from the moment they arrived they were spoilt with homemade mince pies and cups of tea. The talented students put on a Christmas showcase of carols, dances and musical performances. To top off a lovely afternoon all the residents were given a Christmas present as they left.
PC Farah comes to visit
PC Farah had caught wind of the wonderful work we have been doing for the elderly residents living in our local community and wanted to stop by to say hello to the staff and residents at Badgeworth Court. She was extremely impressed with the home and has agreed to come to deliver a talk about her role in the community at one of our weekly Wednesday tea parties. We let her know that she is always welcome to stop by for fresh cakes and a coffee whenever she has the time. We look forward to seeing her again soon!
Victorian Christmas market
We all wrapped up warm to head over to the Victorian Christmas market at Gloucester docks. The sounds and smells were fantastic! The residents enjoyed tasting all of the food samples on the way around. Each stall holder was extremely pleased to see us and treated our residents like celebrities, posing for photographs and chatting (in character) about Victorian life. We were given some beautiful hot chestnuts from a kind-hearted stall holder and the residents enjoyed tasting a myriad of different flavors of Turkish delight. We sat watching the children on the outdoor ice-rink as we sipped on beautiful hot cappuccinos. A fabulous day was had by all!
Remembrance trip to the Cathedral
We are extremely lucky at Badgeworth to live within 20 minutes drive of one of the countries most stunning cathedrals. Gloucester cathedral often goes above and beyond for remembrance day and this year was no exception. The poppy displays were exquisite and we all thoroughly enjoyed reading the wonderful stories from older veterans that were displayed around the cathedral. It was a fantastic day and we look forward to visiting the cathedral again to see the Christmas displays next month.
Flower arranging
Flower Arranging is a regular activity held here at Badgeworth, which our residents love. Today our residents got stuck straight in, they loved the smell of the fresh flowers and putting them into the vase of water. One of the residents particularly loved the yellow roses and liked the feel of the petals on her face. We played a 60's soundtrack in the background which the residents couldn't help but sing along to while they worked.
