Activities at Boroughbridge Manor Care Home

Residents at the home began celebrating Mother’s Day in earnest with a stunning afternoon tea for our resident Mums and relatives. The home was beautifully decorated with fresh flowers and bunting for the occasion.

Staff at Boroughbridge Manor led by our wonderful head chef, Karen. Delivered a stunning High Tea featuring freshly made cakes, pastries and savoury treats for our guests. 
 

100 Years of Evelyn!

We would like to wish our wonderful resident Evelyn a very Happy 100th Birthday!

She was delighted to receive a card from the King and had a wonderful day celebrating with her loved ones, fellow residents, and our colleagues in the home.

Red Nose Day brought joy throughout the home, adding a touch of silliness and fun to our residents' day. 

The staff dressed in red, residents wore red noses, and together they crafted and enjoyed fresh fruit skewers while having a great time decorating Red Nose Day themed cakes, merging the celebration with Nutrition and Hydration Week.

Residents and staff at the home celebrated all things Irish for St Patrick’s Day this week. The home was decorated with shamrocks and everyone dressed in green to mark the day.

Held on March 17th, Saint Patrick's Day actually observes the death of St Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, but the day has come to be a huge celebration of Irish heritage and culture.

Staff and residents at the home marked the day by enjoying a rousing sing-a-long with local favourite performers Kim and Dave, listening to Irish music and sampling a range of Irish beers. Head chef Karen Garbutt prepared a fantastic Irish spread with Irish stew, braised sausage and sticky Irish toffee pudding all washed down with Guinness or an Irish whiskey. 
 

Our residents enjoyed a walk into town with Shelbie and Leann, where they treated themselves to a warm cup of coffee and some great conversation at Hideaway Home and Kitchen. 

We had such a great time interacting with the local community and making new friends. 

Fresh air, exercise, and a caffeine boost - what a perfect morning!

We were delighted to welcome back the children from the Boroughbridge Primary School and Nursery for World Book Day!  The day promotes reading for pleasure and also sees participants dressing up as their favourite characters or embracing a literature theme.  This year the children from the school were dressed as adjectives with themes including colours, stripes, spots and more. 

The children had a great time listening to two stories which put a modern spin on the classic fairy-tale of Goldilocks and the three bears and Snow White and the seven dwarves, with 'Goldilocks in space' and 'Snow White in space'
