A Trip to Stanley Park

Today residents from Glenroyd Care home enjoyed a trip out to one of Blackpool's most iconic attractions, Stanley Park. This beautiful park is renowned for its picturesque gardens, stunning boating lake, and a wide range of recreational facilities, making it a popular destination for people of all ages.

This trip out was not just a chance to enjoy the scenic beauty of the local area, but also an opportunity to spend quality time together. Many of the residents had fond memories of visiting the park when they were younger, and they were thrilled to be able to visit again.

Once we arrived at the park, the residents enjoyed a leisurely stroll through the gardens, taking in the sights and sounds of the park. The beautiful landscape was breath-taking, and the residents enjoyed admiring the stunning flora and fauna that surrounded them.

After the gentle stroll, we stopped at one of the park's ice cream stands to enjoy a delicious treat. The residents loved sampling some of the flavours on offer, enjoying the warm sunshine and the company of those around them.

With so many different features and attractions to enjoy, there really is something for everyone at Stanley Park.

The park truly represents everything that is great about Blackpool, and it was wonderful to see our residents enjoying it to the fullest.

Easter Celebrations

Today the residents at Glenroyd Care Home had a wonderful Easter celebration where they welcomed a special guest - the Easter Bunny!

This morning the Easter Bunny and his little helper hopped into our community carrying a basketful of treats and eggs. Residents were excited to see him and interact with the furry friend, who posed for pictures and gave out hugs to make the day even more special.

In the afternoon the residents enjoyed an Easter party in the garden, and they welcomed back the singer Marianne. Her voice echoed through the garden, and the residents were singing along, dancing and swaying to the rhythm.

The residents were dressed in their finest attire and even the windiest weather conditions would not stop them to share laughter, and have the most enjoyable time together.

The Easter Bunny, true to his reputation, was a beloved guest who brightened the day for everyone. We all had a wonderful time, full of joy and laughter.

Thank you to everyone who attended and to Marianne for making the Easter party a tremendous success!

Happy Easter from everyone at Glenroyd!

Gentle Exercise

Residents at Glenroyd Care Home had a wonderful time today during their gentle exercise session. The session began with a warm-up to get everyone's muscles ready for the exercises. The residents then engaged in various exercises such as chair yoga, stretches, and breathing techniques. The exercise session not only helped them loosen up their stiff muscles but also lifted their mood, improved mobility, balance, and flexibility.

The residents particularly enjoyed the stretching exercises, which helped them stretch their legs and arms while sitting on the chairs. This kind of exercise is particularly helpful for older adults who have limited mobility or have trouble standing for extended periods.

The activity was led by our friend Stefan from Fit For Good, who kept the residents motivated and engaged throughout the session. Our Residents always look forward to their gentle exercise session as it helps to keep them healthy, energised, and improves their overall sense of well-being.

We believe in promoting an active lifestyle, and gentle exercise sessions like these help achieve this goal, improving residents' physical and mental health.

We can't wait for the next exercise session!

Pets at the Palaces

Residents across our services had a delightful time during a special virtual sensory storytelling event, led by Art Historian Jon Sleigh from the Historic Royal Palaces.

Jon took us on a journey to discover some of the more unusual and unexpected inhabitants of the palaces and the Tower of London, sharing fascinating stories about the pets at the palaces.

Whilst enjoying the virtual experience, our residents were treated to hot beverages, delicious biscuits, berries and cakes. It was a truly lovely time for all.

Coronation history

Across our services Residents had a wonderful time participating in an interactive virtual talk with Pippa Catterall, Professor of History and Policy at the University of Westminster, where we delved into the rich history of coronations.

During the talk, we explored fascinating topics such as the coronation chair, the crown, and other significant aspects related to King Charles' upcoming coronation. Our residents were thrilled to have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the memoirs of past coronations from 1937 and 1953, as well as learning about the coronation oath and what to expect from the ceremony, including the music, guests, and pageantry.

Pet Therapy with Ted

We have had an excellent morning for our residents as they got surprised with a visit from Ted- such a beautiful golden retriever, well known in our community since he was a puppy.

Residents were delighted to spend some time with Ted by stroking his shiny fur and spoiling him with a tone of biscuits. We chatted the morning away about our beloved pets.
