Activities at Broadway Halls Care Home

A massive well done to Julene - Thankyou for everything you do. Keep up the amazing work you do.  

Residents of Broadway Halls proudly joined the town’s Remembrance Sunday parade and service today. Together, we honoured the bravery and sacrifice of our Armed Forces, past and present.

A wreath was laid on behalf of all our residents as we remembered those who gave so much for our freedom.    

Our lovely residents teamed up with the Activities Team to bake a delicious Victoria sponge cake from scratch! What made it extra special was the way everyone shared their own tips and mixing methods, and family secrets were all part of the recipe! Together, they created the perfect Victoria sponge with a real personal touch with whipped cream on top. The residents tasted the leftover cake mix. It brought back childhood memories.

This week our wonderful baking club rolled up their sleeves and made a classic favourite for many residents. The bread and butter pudding in the memory lane dining room smelled amazing, and everyone had a great time mixing, layering, and reminiscing about this timeless dessert.   

Nothing brings people together quite like baking and good company at Broadway Halls. Stay tuned to see what we whip up next!

Our residents were getting all arty yesterday for wildlife day. 
Some residents chose to colour wildlife pictures whilst chatting about their favourite animals and how nice it is to see wildlife in it's natural habitat.
Whilst others chose aqua painting using water to bring their pictures to life.
Such a simple activity can bring so much joy and calmness 
 

Celebrating the 63rd Valentines day for our lovely residents Judith & Keith.

Monthly planned activities for the month of February. Please come alone and enjoy.  

Our residents had a fantastic evening watching a small, quiet firework display from the dining room windows, the perfect way to enjoy a great view while staying warm and comfortable in their home.

Everyone also enjoyed delicious hot chocolate topped with marshmallows. Residents from the Nursing unit even picked their favourite songs to go along with the display creating a truly special atmosphere! 

The night was filled with smiles, laughter, and memories that came flooding back.       

Today, our residents at Broadway Halls, celebrated National Poetry Day in the most wonderful way! We gathered together to read aloud a selection of well-loved and famous poems, sparking memories, smiles, and thoughtful conversations. From classic verses to heartfelt favourites, each reading brought its own charm and meaning.

It was fantastic to see residents getting involved, sharing poems they remembered from years ago, listening attentively to others, and reflecting on the beauty of words.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who took part. Poetry truly has the power to bring people together.  

A Wonderful Morning at Sutton School. Residents from Broadway Halls enjoyed a heart-warming visit to Sutton School in Dudley, where they were warmly welcomed into the students’ reading club. The students proudly read their favourite books to our residents, filling the room with stories, smiles, and shared imagination.

After the reading session, everyone joined in for some fun activities, including a lively game of bingo and creating colourful bookmarks together. 

It was a lovely opportunity for connection across generations, and we’re so grateful to the students and staff at Sutton School for having us.      

We lit up the festive season in true Punjabi style with the Ultimate Bhangra Celebration! 

Residents had an amazing time learning vibrant Bhangra dance moves and playing the dhol drum, filling the room with rhythm, laughter, and joy.

It was a day full of energy, culture, and togetherness, a perfect way to celebrate the spirit of Diwali!      

Our residents had a fantastic time taking part in a Velcro dart competition today. Residents from all floors took part. There was full of laughter, cheering, and a little bit of friendly rivalry as everyone aimed for the bullseye. 

Activities like this aren’t just about fun, they bring so many benefits, including: encouraging gentle movement and coordination, keeping minds active with focus and concentration, boosting mood and confidence, strengthening friendships through shared experiences for example, when they were at the pub either playing or watching darts. It was wonderful to see so many smiles and a real sense of achievement from everyone who took part.
