Activites at The Dales Care Home

A lovely lunch at The Gamekeeper’s Inn, Long Ashes Park in Threshfield! Residents and staff admired the views, enjoying the sun shining, chatting away, telling stories, full of laughter and loving every second of it. 

The wonderful and magic effect it has on everyone when it comes to going out in our mini-bus with the sun shining!

Lovely having our local community come together and join in with wishing all the wonderful fathers a very Happy Father’s Day. 

Thank you to everyone who came along and helped to make it the amazing morning it was! Thank you for the gifts and everyone looks forward to having you with us again soon! 

We would like to thank all of our wonderful staff, whose work and dedication makes a real difference to the lives of those living in our care! 

Carers Week is an annual event to raise awareness of caring, highlighting the challenges carers face and recognising the contribution they make to our residents, families and communities!

What a wonderful morning having four-week-old Tiny Tina visiting us! She was so tiny and so cute we wanted her to move in! 

The magic effect anything with four legs has on staff and residents. 

We would like to thank one of our residents' family for introducing us to Tiny Tina. The wonderful effect it has had on everyone introducing us to your lambs every spring in the past 3 years!

IMT Forever CIC, a well-known group working along with Age Concern Todmorden, in Todmorden, is widely known as Inspire, Motivate and Transform, a social enterprise supporting local communities to thrive. It is looking forward to receiving a grant of £720 from Barchester’s Charitable Foundation.

The Dales Care Home, run by Barchester Healthcare, nominated the charity for the grant for the great work they provide for the community. Roisin Doyle, General Manager at The Dales Care Home, heard that the group needed some support, which is essential for the running of their group activities. Roisin Doyle contacted Barchester’s Charitable Foundation, a charity that helps older people and adults with a disability or mental health problems across England, Scotland and Wales, by offering grants to help people connect or re-connect with others in their local community.

Following a successful application process, Roisin and IMT Forever CIC were thrilled to learn that the full grant had been given. Rebecca Slaven, director of IMT Forever CIC, said: “For individuals with limited mobility and access to outside services or social activities, Boogie Bingo offers a much-needed physical and mental boost — a fun, uplifting experience that fosters connection, anticipation, and a sense of belonging. It also opens up opportunities to interact with and meet others beyond their housing complex, all while remaining in the comfort and safety of their residence.”

Roisin Doyle said: “This charity does a fantastic job for very little money, and they are able to support people of all abilities, including people living with dementia. They enable people living with disabilities to thrive in physical activities and mental wellbeing. I’m thrilled that The Dales have been able to help them secure this grant.”
