Activites at Marple Dale Care Home

We had a Lee Newsome back with his ‘The King has Swing’ here at Marple Dale, a packed out crowd sat singing away to some classic tunes. It was a great afternoon getting us in the mood for more upcoming shows!

Gardening club couldn’t happen yesterday morning due to bad weather so we decided to have a little get together and played ‘who am I’. It was a great past time and it ran until lunch time. The residents came up with some funny people and their favourite time was when it was the activities team turn to go.

Last week at Marple Dale, our Activity team and Residents came together for Coffee Morning to celebrate 200 years of Cadbury UK.

Thanks to Cadbury we received a delightful surprise in the mail with a box filled with Dairy Milk bars in classic wrappers designed to reflect on the 200 years celebration!

A special afternoon here at Marple Dale as we had a visit from our Hostess’ Son, Adam, all the way from California who offered to sing for us!

Such a great voice singing blasts from the past for an hour and half! Thankyou for attending Marple Dale Adam and we will see you in July!

Yesterday we wanted to go out on a walk but the weather decided to not allow us too so instead we acted quickly and gathered residents to go out for a late pub lunch! We went to the Hare and Hounds up on Werneth Low where we could see the whole of Manchester! It was a great little trip out organised by our Activity Team. We cannot wait to go out more during the sunny weather coming up soon!

Our very own Maintenance/Keyboard man, Andrew, played us a great show last week with his magnificent Keyboard talent. Reminiscing on old tunes emerged into a successful singalong led by our residents this also included 2 great encores, WOW!

Next up for Andrew, a Cheese and Wine night here at Marple Dale.

A lovely catch up with Lewis in the Activity Room this morning, we talked about the past and trips out that are coming up and what we would like to do next week, we all had a brew together ready for dinner time!

Happy St Georges Day for yesterday from everyone here at Marple Dale, we started off the morning with a walk around the grounds and then we had a fantastic afternoon with a St Georges picture bingo and then finished off with an all-England quiz, it was a great afternoon spent with everyone!

Another Day at Marple Dale and another great performance by Berni Stubbs, nearly an hour and half of classic tunes including some love songs to get through Valentines Week, he hit us with some great mood lighting to get us in the swing, we can’t wait for another performance from him soon!
