Life at Newton House Care Home
Weekly Gardening Club
Our weekly gardening club was a huge success, enjoying the glorious weather.
A variety of activities were taking place and there were smiles and laughter all around.
We have also started the upcycle of our wooden furniture outside, the gents helped with the sanding down and have made a fabulous job with the paintwork.
Resident Vonny was in her element with the weeding and bulb planting, whilst others enjoyed music therapy and singalongs in the sunshine.
We are really loving and making the most of this beautiful weather!
A trip to our local park
We are all loving this beautiful weather and ventured out on the minibus to Wyndham Park.
More visits to the park was requested in our last residents meeting, so it is wonderful being able to fulfil residents wishes.
Residents loved saying hello to others, and they loved seeing the children out having fun with their families.
We enjoyed a nice refreshing drink in the Wyndham Park Cafe too and a huge thank you to the kind staff who was very helpful, it’s such a lovely place to visit when going to the park.
John and Janet have asked to go their afternoon tea next time, and where there’s cake involved that’s always a good thing!
Virtual event with Jon Sleigh
Residents across our services had a delightful time during a special virtual sensory storytelling event, led by Art Historian Jon Sleigh from the Historic Royal Palaces.
Jon took us on a journey to discover some of the more unusual and unexpected inhabitants of the palaces and the Tower of London, sharing fascinating stories about the pets at the palaces.
Whilst enjoying the virtual experience, our residents were treated to hot beverages, delicious biscuits, berries and cakes. It was a truly lovely time for all.
Gardening Club
A delightful day outside in the sunshine with gardening club,
making the most of the glorious sunshine, planting bulbs and seeds, feeding the birds and a spot of weeding.
The ladies put us to shame with their gardening skills too!
Gardening is very much enjoyed by our residents at Newton House and assists in a feeling of empowerment by placing residents on an expert role.
There are many other benefits also, including maintaining lifestyle skills and hobbies, reminiscence, increased social and mobility skills and a feeling of empowerment.
Lovely Loaves – A baking sensation
Newton House had so much fun, visiting Lovely Loaves in Grantham
Lel, Janet and the residents baked and decorated some extremely impressive cupcakes and the most delicious scones!
Resident Mikes profession was a pastry MasterChef, he even taught Marcus Wearing in his younger years at College, this activity meant the world to him and brought back the most beautiful memories!
He said “it was the best morning I’ve ever had”.
Cheers to the Weekend
A cheers to the weekend with a joyous bus trip out to the Miller & Carter for a trip out to enjoy a nice refreshment, we had lots of fun chatting about a variety of different topics.
Janet said “what a great time we’ve had girls, it’s so kind of you to do this”.
