The home has also being busy getting into the festive spirit in decorating the trees and hanging the decorations and everyone is delighted with how the home looks

The fun and laughter has continued at Boroughbridge Manor as residents recently enjoyed trying arts and craft sessions and showing their creative sides as they created cards for their loved ones - fun brightly coloured leaf hedgehog cards, keeping active with their armchair exercises and music and movement sessions.  

Residents at Boroughbridge Manor enjoy the homes engaging activities programmes consisting of virtual concerts from popular local entertainers, virtual worship services, armchair exercise sessions and have taken to Skype and WhatsApp to their nearest and dearest  arranged by the homes’ activities team for residents within the home and local community groups.

Residents enjoy doll therapy at Boroughbridge Manor and have been spending some quality time with their therapy dolls who resemble newborn babies. Neil Todd, General Manager said: “The dolls are greatly loves by all of the residents and give a nice sense of belonging and peacefulness in the home and it is great so see our residents interacting with them”

Jack –o-lanterns ,pumpkin carving is a Halloween favourite for children and adults, turnip or other root vegetables can be used to, but the residents chose a pumpkin it was a lot of fun for all from hollowing it out to choosing the design and trying to carving it, hard work ready for Halloween

Here at Boroughbridge Manor the residents and staff have come together and created a Remembrance Day display to show  that on Remembrance Day, we acknowledge the courage and sacrifice of those who served their country and acknowledge our responsibility to work for the peace they fought so hard to achieve.

The residents and staff enjoyed creating this during which they shared stories with one another, and it goes to show how lucky ‘the younger generation’ actually are. Some take things for granted and forget how much the war hero’s did and sacrificed.

This is why as a home we wanted to do such a memorable display, to show how much we appreciate everything that people have and continue to fight for. It’s quite emotional looking at it because so much hard work from the residents and staff has gone into this. Everyone listened to one another’s ideas, and put this together. We hope you enjoy it as much as they do
