Celebrating life at Longueville Court Care Home
VE Day
We remembered and celebrated the 80th anniversary of V.E. Day. Our residents all came together to remember those that gave their lives, to maintain a free world. We also welcomed residents from our sister home, Werrington Lodge.
Our entertainment this afternoon was provided by Reunion Avenue and our very own Vikki!!! Refreshments were then served, as the party atmosphere continued.
Baby Shower Celebrations
We held a surprise baby shower for our wonderful deputy manager Chiara and bump! We want to thank you for everything you do for the staff and residents.
You truly have been amazing. We wish you all the best on your new journey into parenthood and your little miracle that’s about to join your world.
100th Birthday Celebrations
We had the pleasure of celebrating a very special birthday with Miriam and her friends. The day started with a birthday card from the king, then a pamper session followed by her birthday party in which she was surrounded by all her friends and family.
Miriam really did enjoy her day, and said “the highlight was receiving my birthday card from King Charles.”
Sponsored Walk!
Today we, Lisa from Hampton Grove and Tracie and Lesley from Werrington Lodge activities, did a sponsored walk around the ham trail in Ferry Meadows to raise money for the Barchester foundation charity.
It was a great morning. The sun was shining, and it was all for a good cause.
Easter Weekend!
Over the Easter weekend we had a lot happening. We had the Easter egg delivered to each resident’s room, and an Easter tea afternoon with Lesley.
Vikki also held a 'find the Easter bunny' competition for the kiddies, which was a huge success. The kids and residents really had a fun afternoon. It really was a wonderful weekend.
St George's Day!
This afternoon we celebrated St George’s Day with a party. We had some very special guests from our sister homes, Werrington Lodge and Hampton Grove.
Our residents really enjoyed meeting their fellow residents from our other homes. It was a wonderful afternoon with dancing, singing and lots of laughs...
The longest yarn
Our residents enjoyed a trip to Peterborough Cathedral for the Longest yarn event. Our residents really enjoyed viewing all the knitted scenes that told the story of the D-Day landings and it being the 80th anniversary.
It was an emotional but nice afternoon.
Red Nose Day!
To celebrate Red Nose Day and also fabulous fruity Friday for nutrition and hydration week we did had a very different style coffee morning, we had everything red, right down to the drinks.
It was very well received by the residents and family members.
St Patrick's Day!
We are celebrating St. Patrick's Day this year with a wonderful performance, and we were thoroughly entertained by the lovely young dancers from the Solas school of Irish dancing.
They were amazing and our lovely ladies and gentlemen enjoyed watching them! We were all amazed with their high-energy performance!!
