Activities at Cookridge Court Care Home

Yesterday marked Christmas Jumper Day hosted by Save the Children UK

Residents and colleagues embraced the fun of Christmas Jumper Day as they enjoyed a day of fun.

Activities continued in the afternoon with a special performance from Elf, who travelled from the North Pole and gave us an afternoon of fun on the piano, singing a variety of Classic Christmas songs.

This weekend we saw one of our dedicated team members and her Beau join together for their Happily Ever After!

Please join us in wishing Sharna and her new husband a huge Congratulations!

It just goes to show you how much of an extended family we have at Cookridge Court, Sharna and her Bridal Party (doesn’t she look stunning?!) surprised the residents with a special appearance just before the ceremony so they could be part of the celebrations… I think these smiles speak for themselves!

Our resident’s, resident’s family & friends, along with team members came together to enjoy an evening a festive fun, with live music from the duo group Toe Tappers, a variety of refreshments and wonderful homemade canapés made freshly by our wonderful kitchen department

The evening was full off singing, dancing, laughter and wonderful memories made.

Heavenly voices rang out at Cookridge Court Care Home as the community came together to celebrate Christmas with a sing and sign carol concert.  Staff and residents at Barchester’s Cookridge Court care home, in Leeds got in the Christmas spirit by inviting the community to come and join in with a carol concert to sing some festive Christmas favourites with the additional feature of the children using Makaton as they sang.  The singing was led by Ireland Wood Primary School in Leeds.

General Manager, Karen Francis said: “We are so lucky to have such a fantastic community here at Cookridge Court Care Home. Singing Christmas carols is such a lovely tradition, I’m so glad we could invite our friends and neighbours to come and join in us.”

Residents and staff at Cookridge Court Care Home in Leeds are helping to make the world a better place by wearing a festival jumper on Thursday 8th December in aid of Save the Children’s annual fundraising event, Christmas Jumper Day.  All residents and staff at Cookridge Court Care Home have been encouraged to buy, borrow or decorate their own special Christmas jumpers and donate to Save the Children. Some of the residents got into the Christmas spirit wearing tinsel and sparkles to get involved with the festivities.

Staff at Cookridge Court Care Home in Leeds swapped their uniforms for costumes on National Elf Day (Friday December 2) in an effort to raise funds to help people living with dementia.

Launched by the Alzheimer’s Society and delivered direct from the North Pole, Elf Day was created to sprinkle some festive cheer on fundraising towards finding a cure for dementia. From stripy socks to head-to-toe elf outfits, anything goes – there’s snow better way to raise money to help beat dementia.
