Activities at Caldy Manor Care Home

Residents and staff at Caldy Manor laced up their trainers and warmed-up for a fun-filled afternoon of games as they took advantage of the glorious sunshine.  Staff and residents showed their friendly competitive streak as they took to their marks in a selection of games, with the main event a game of balloon tennis match between the red and blue teams. After an energetic match, teams celebrated with a glass of Bucks Fizz as they received their certificates.

General Manager Hannah Roberts said: “We always encourage our residents to keep active. With Summer here we had a great opportunity to take advantage of the recent sunny weather and get outside to enjoy our gardens.  Our residents and their guests really enjoyed the day and it was lovely to see so many of them getting involved. It reminded all of us of when we were kids at school!”

Congratulations to Hannah Roberts, who has been named as a Divisional Winner in the 2020 Barchester Care Awards. Hannah is a finalist in the Customer Service Champion category, and has been invited to attend a virtual awards ceremony on 8th October, where she will find out if she has won overall.

Residents of Caldy Manor were delighted to receive a gift of beautiful handmade cards. It’s a great idea and helps residents to keep in contact with family and friends by post at this difficult time when visits can’t happen. Residents can choose their own cards which is really important.

On behalf of Caldy Manor, residents and colleagues would like to pass on their gratitude for being considered at this time of uncertainty and hope everyone stays safe and well. 

Resident, Irene, was delighted to receive a special personalised gift from Terra the German Shephard and her owner. Terra was recently announced as winner of the home ‘Cutest Pet’ award, beating the other entrants. Popular Terra also has her very own social media Facebook page and sent Irene a copy of her own calendar as a gift.

Irene was delighted with this personalised gift, as she loves German Shephards and used to have one as a pet.

Local children in the community and sister care homes have been writing to us to share their experience of lockdown. We have been replying to letters and postcards which are now proudly displayed in the lounge for staff and residents to read and enjoy.

Pictured is Edith McKnight who is holding two of her favourite cards received & Andy Petty who has been joining in art & craft sessions in the sunny garden making thank you cards to send.

Rose Walsh celebrated her 92nd birthday opening lots of gifts sent in by her family.  A very special video call with her son Robert made the day extra special. We made a special chocolate birthday cake which was thoroughly enjoyed together with Rose's friends at Caldy manor.
