Life at Badgeworth Court Care Home
Baking Club with Volunteer
The residents at Badgeworth Court have been having fun recently at our Bakery club in our tea room with the help of our activities team and Volunteer student Alex. There is something inherently sweet about baking that goes beyond the reward of a tasty treat. The sensation of flour in the hands and the uplifting smell of freshly baked biscuits engages the senses in a way that can be particularly beneficial for our residents. The home made biscuits looked delicious and were later enjoyed with a cup of tea.
Terry's Birthday
Our Resident Terry had a wonderful birthday last week. The lovely Singer Anna Tharia came this morning to serenade Terry with songs from the 50s and 60s. This was followed by a lovely lunch in the courtyard with his Badgeworth friends. Happy birthday Terry we hope you have had a wonderful day. At Badgeworth we believe a birthday allows our residents to better recognize and appreciate the circle of love and support that surrounds them as friends and family gather to celebrate.
Music and movement
Badgeworth Court residents have been very active. Every month the wonderful Sue from Music and movement provides a movement session packed with dancing and light exercise's which allows are resident to remain fit and healthy. If carried out regularly we believe gentle exercise is beneficial for our residents both physically and mentally.
Thank you Sue our Badgeworth residents are looking forward to seeing you again very soon.
