Life at Magnolia Court Care Home
Hanukkah & Doughnuts
Residents enjoyed the delicious doughnuts and learned that the connection between the two is the oil, according to Rabbi Yossi.
Multi-Birthday Party
We celebrated the monthly multi-birthday party here at Magnolia Court. Relatives joined in and brought lots of savouries, cakes and champagne to make it a very special day to remember.
Bonfire Night
Bonfire day at Magnolia was celebrated with the kids from Plenitude Ministry Church. They sang and brought drawings for residents - everyone enjoyed the event.
Dementia Care Awards
We were very proud to be invited to the Dementia Care Awards by the Director of Dementia, Caroline Baker. The ceremony was in Brighton, and we were invited after getting one of the best scores in our region for the 10-60-6 programme. It was an honour for Magnolia Court's Activities Coordinators, Mimi and Jose, and General Manager, Ram, to attend the event.
Baking Session
Just when we thought residents at Magnolia were sweet enough, we had a baking session. We made a lovely Tiramisu that all residents, staff and relatives enjoyed so much.
Outing to Regents Park
We couldn't let the summer go by without visiting Regent's Park. Residents reminisced about visiting the park with their families in the past.
