Activities at Hurstwood View Care Home

We can’t believe it, but it’s really not that long until Christmas! 

We’ve been in the Cafe this week starting work on our handmade cards for friends and family. 

We’ve been working on a few designs, one being ‘joy’ with wreath as the ‘o’. 

We’re really pleased with how they’ve come out, and this will be the first of many craft sessions on the run up to the big day. 

Offering person-centred care is something that is incredibly important to us, and something we aim to fulfil on a daily basis. 

Today, our Chef Suman, has made a delicious Biryani for our Resident, Jenny, and it went down a storm!

In Jenny's last 'resident of the day' catch up, she mentioned that her favourite meal of all time was Lamb Biryani! Suman headed to the shops to get the ingredients to meet Jenny's dietary requirements, and also included some special rice all the way from India. 

Jenny was over the moon with her special lunch, which was served with salad, cucumber and yogurt, delicious!

Thank you Suman for making our resident's day! Your amazing work was very much appreciated.

If you have a loved one living with us here at Hurstwood View, please let us know if we can do anything special for them, we'd love to make their wishes come true. 

We are over the moon to have won Team of the Year in the Barchester Care Awards, held in Manchester last week.

Wow, wow, thank you to everyone that made our Residents evening on Halloween night

 We had over 50 trick or treaters visit the home, and the buzz in our Café area was phenomenal. We set up a sweet and hot chocolate station, and our Kitchen team made a deliciously spooky cake.

Our Residents absolutely loved seeing the children and their fabulous costumes. The hugest of thank you to each and every one of you. We hope you enjoy your sweets and hot chocolates! Big shout out to our ‘hot chocolate making queen'.
