Activities at Hunters Care Home

Hunters raise funds for a charity very close to the hearts of many of the residents and their families here at Hunters. Through the sale of cupcakes vital funds are raised for the Alzheimer’s Society. This year Tina from activities has been busy baking cupcakes to sell to the staff. Tina’s cupcakes were already legendary and it took no time at all for word to get out that they were on sale and even less time for them to sell out. Thank you to everyone who took part as the current total raised now stands at £175, amazing.

Happy Father’s Day, at Hunters we are lucky to have some really lovely gentlemen as Residents here and to show our appreciation we gave them all a small gift and a card to celebrate Father’s Day. With the International Football in full swing everyone was able to sit back and enjoy a game with a glass of beer.

Nutrition and Hydration Week is an annual event to understand the importance of nutrition and hydration in a social care setting.  Hunters Chef Leo and his team ensure residents have a balanced diet and the whole team ensure residents have regular drinks.

To make things more interesting the residents were treated to delicious fruit smoothies made from a range of ingredients of their choice. With the spell of hot weather due to end we are making sure that we are making the most of it whilst staying fit and well.

Congratulations to Tina Ololade who has just been named Hunters Employee of the Month. Tina has covered a number of roles in the home including working in Admin and recently Activities. Tina is hard working and always helpful to all. She is passionate about her job and establishing community links for the home. Well done Tina.

A big thank you to all of the wonderful carers at Hunters. Today we celebrated National Carers week and gave some well-deserved recognition to the dedicated staff team here at Hunters. The care team received a gift, card and certificate just to let them know how important they are. Our Resident Ambassador Bobby was happy to make the presentation and paid tribute to the teams hard work and dedication. Afterwards there was delicious cake prepared by Head Chef Leo and a glass of bubbly to round things off.

Today we were delighted to finally been able to put some of our seedlings out into our vegetable bed. The stronger growing plants have gone out but will continue to be protected by cloches until they get really established. We all had a great afternoon planting and now we are looking forward to eating the fruits of our labour.
