Activities at Glenroyd Care Home

Our incredible residents had a blast as they embarked on a Hawaiian-themed journey that filled our hearts with joy.  The morning kicked off with a fantastic activity - baking mouth-watering pizzas together! The aroma of freshly baked crusts filled the air as our residents not only showcased their culinary skills but also enjoyed the camaraderie and teamwork involved. It was a delightful time of bonding and preparing for the party in the afternoon.

As the sun began to set, our transformed conservatory radiated a vibrant and tropical atmosphere. The decorations were simply enchanting, transporting us to an Hawaiian paradise right within our walls. Our residents were bedecked in colourful leis, and the venue exuded an island charm with its tiki bar and festive Hawaiian-themed ornaments.

The highlight of the day was the live music entertainment by the incredibly talented Marianne! Her soulful voice had us swaying and dancing to the rhythm of Hawaiian melodies and popular tunes. It was a magical experience that touched the hearts of everyone present.

To complement the festive ambiance, our catering team prepared refreshing fruit salads and beautifully arranged fruit trays. The burst of tropical flavours perfectly matched the theme, and our residents relished the delectable treats while soaking in the lively ambiance.

Our amazing residents had a barber session in our fantastic hairdresser salon, enjoying shaves, coffee, and the timeless tunes of the 60's.  But it wasn't just about the grooming and music - it was a chance for these gentlemen to reminisce and bond over their barber shop stories. They shared tales of the barbershops they used to frequent, swapping memories and laughter along the way.

After their enjoyable chat, our gentlemen showed their true spirit of kindness. They rolled up their sleeves and lent a hand in cleaning up.

It's moments like these that make our community at Glenroyd Care Home truly special. We pride ourselves on fostering an environment where everyone feels valued, connected, and supported.

Let's take a moment to appreciate the gentlemen who shared their stories and created lasting memories during the barber session. Your conversation and friendship brighten our days!

What a beautiful afternoon it was at Glenroyd Care Home, where the residents soaked up the sun and enjoyed a delightful garden gathering in the midst of the Blackpool heatwave!  To make the day even more special, we joined in with a Live Virtual Event called "Come Sing! To Feel Good with Biiah" in collaboration with the incredibly talented Dan Cooper.

The theme was all about summer, and together with Biiah and Dan, we belted our hearts out to some classic summer tunes that brought back fond memories. We sang along to "The Summertime" by Mungo Jerry and grooved to "Summer Nights" from the iconic musical 'Grease'.

The joy and positive energy in the air were absolutely contagious. Our residents couldn't help but smile from ear to ear, their spirits lifted by the music and the company of their friends. A massive thank you to Biiah and Dan Cooper for leading such a fun and feel-good session. Your talents and passion truly made the event memorable for everyone involved. We appreciate you brightening our day with your beautiful voices and infectious enthusiasm!

At Glenroyd Care Home, we believe in creating enriching experiences that bring happiness and unity to our residents' lives. Gatherings like this remind us of the power of music to uplift our spirits and connect us all.

Residents across our services had a fantastic time joining Mandy Morrow for a virtual walking tour to learn about the ‘Herstory’ of Mayfair. The Mayfair of Nightingales may be long gone but it still holds a 20th century charm. Birthplace to the late Queen Elizabeth II, home to one of WWII's most decorated female war heroes and a tale of a wealthy Aristocrat and one of France's favourite designers.

We were delighted to take a walk down memory lane and discover stories from one of London's most iconic areas.  The experience was truly enjoyed by all.

We are so thrilled to share the amazing time we had celebrating Barbara's birthday recently. The party was a true delight, made even more special with the wonderful contributions of her family and our dedicated team.

The highlight of the afternoon was undoubtedly the live music entertainment that had everyone on their feet! The talented Marianne kept the energy high, creating a vibrant atmosphere filled with laughter, joy, and happy memories. We could see Barbara and our residents truly enjoying themselves, singing along to their favourite tunes and even showing off their dance moves. It was a sight to behold!

And let's not forget the delicious refreshments that were served at the party. The spread included a mouth-watering assortment of cheese and crackers, complemented by perfectly juicy grapes, nuts, and delectable pastries. Our taste buds were in paradise, thanks to the efforts and thoughtfulness of Barbara's family and our caring team.

Of course, a birthday celebration wouldn't be complete without a cake, and our talented chef outdid themselves with a scrumptious creation for Barbara. The birthday cake was a true masterpiece, beautifully decorated and filled with flavour that delighted everyone's taste buds.

We are extremely grateful to Barbara's family for organising such a fantastic event, and to our amazing activities team for ensuring everything ran smoothly. Their dedication and hard work made this birthday party an unforgettable experience for Barbara and all our residents. Thank you for your love and commitment to making every moment special and enjoyable for everyone at Glenroyd.

The joy and laughter that filled our community during this celebration were truly heart-warming. It's these moments that remind us of the true value of togetherness and the warmth of our Glenroyd Care Home family.

Our wonderful residents were graced with a magical visit from the illustrious Tabernacle Church Choir, right in the comfort of our vibrant garden this afternoon. Their melodic harmonies filled the air with joy and their powerful voices touched all of our hearts in extraordinary ways.

As rain began to fall, we were reminded of the beautiful unity found in life's unpredictability. Rather than dampening our spirits, it only heightened the togetherness. We retreated to the warmth of our conservatory for some comforting tea and delightful refreshments, while still accompanied by the uplifting strains of the gospel choir music.

Watching our residents share smiles, reminisce about the hymns they grew up with, was a truly humbling scene. To see that the soothing power of music knows no borders, and that memories are always alive when shared with others, has indeed been a blessing.

Despite the rain, the spirit remained as sunny as ever, and this afternoon was filled with an abundance of love, remembrance, and unity.

Thank you, Tabernacle Church Choir, for the gift of your music and message, turning an ordinary afternoon into a precious memory.
