Activities at Boroughbridge Manor Care Home

Today marks World Mental Health Day. This day is held every year to help raise mental health awareness.

This morning residents took part in a creative craft session whilst other residents and staff members were encouraged to write down their feelings and express what makes them happy and what makes them feel good.

Throughout the day some of our residents gathered together to share their advice and thoughts for staying positive and the importance of positive thinking over a cuppa and a walk in the garden which was a huge success.

It’s a bit of a chilly day today so we've been playing a spot of bingo in our cozy, warm living room.

While it’s a good giggle, it certainly shows the competitive streak our residents would have had in the bingo halls back in the day! We saw some new winners today, but as always bingo queen Audrey won the final game!

This morning we held our monthly coffee morning - where we sampled the fantastic cake we made together yesterday!

The residents said the cake tasted delicious and was a great accompaniment for a hot cup of tea on this rainy day. Everyone is welcome to our monthly coffee mornings! We look forward to you coming along!

Residents and guests at Boroughbridge Manor Care Home in Boroughbridge enjoyed a morning of grins with a live music performance that took place at the home. Rochelle Ayris Entertainment performed a selection of classic hits including firm favourites from The Sound of Music.

Residents joined in with the singing, and clapped along as the Rochelle performed her finale song Do-Re-Mi. The hospitality team at the home also provided a spread of sweet and savoury treats for everyone to enjoy during the show.

This morning we took a trip out to Thirsk Garden Centre to browse their fabulous selection of plants and flowers and to look around the Halloween and Christmas sections

Of course the trip wouldn’t have been complete without a visit to the cafe for a brew and a cheeky scone! 

We had a fantastic morning out and about.

This morning some of us headed out to Ripon Spa Gardens to enjoy the lovely weather and beautiful gardens they have to offer.

We took a walk around the park, visited the bandstand and read all about the history of the spa gardens. Afterwards, we stopped off at the cafe for a well deserved cup of tea and sampled their delicious scones! The sun certainly had his hat on for us today - we all had a marvellous time.
