Activities at Park View Care Home

The ladies in our care basked in the warm sunshine, savoring the delightful experience of afternoon tea in the garden. Laughter and chatter filled the air as they enjoyed an array of fragrant teas accompanied by freshly baked scones and delicate pastries.

Surrounded by blooming flowers and the gentle rustle of leaves, each sip and bite became a cherished moment, fostering connections and joy among friends. The serene atmosphere was a perfect backdrop for creating beautiful memories together. 

On a delightful evening, our Ladies n Memory Lane community , particularly the spirited ladies, embarked on a joyful outing to the local pub for dinner. With smiles lighting up their faces, they reminisced about fond memories as they walked together, their camaraderie evident in every shared laugh. 

Once seated, they ordered large glasses of gin and tonic, the refreshing drinks bringing a sparkle to their eyes. As they enjoyed their meals, the atmosphere buzzed with stories of days gone by, each sip of their drinks accompanied by the warmth of friendship and the joy of living in the moment. 

Pet therapy sessions with kittens have brought a wave of joy and comfort to our residents with dementia. As the soft, playful furballs scamper around, their gentle purring and affectionate nuzzles evoke smiles and spark cherished memories. 

Interacting with the kittens not only provides emotional support but also stimulates the senses, prompting laughter and warmth in the room. These furry companions create a soothing environment, fostering connection and engagement, reminding everyone of the simple pleasure that animals can bring to our lives.  

Theodore went to the park today to feed the ducks and do a run around the park.

He absolutely loved his day out and enjoyed getting the bus to Romford and can't wait to go again!

Park View recently celebrated VE day. We had an amazing singer singing old war songs and encouraging residents and staff to sing along and dance. 

The residents dressed up in pinnies and hair pinned up with rags on. Bunting was around the home and residents had hats and waving flags. And after, we finished off with a lovely afternoon tea and cakes. 

A lovely lady named Maggie gave us some original newspapers from 1941-1945. 

We all had a wonderful time reminiscing whilst looking through the newspaper. What a wonderful morning and we plan to frame them for the home. 

James expressed how he loved ice-skating and would love to go. Jason, our head of maintenance, was able to make this happen.

Jason and James went to Lee Valley skating park. James was thrilled that he was able to get on the ice rink again.

On Easter Sunday at Parkview, we were invited to an Easter breakfast celebration at the Thurrock Hotel. 

We had a delicious fry-up and an Easter egg hunt. The Easter bunny also came to visit!

Today our cook, Georgia, and the other staff made some delicious Easter eggs served with a nice tea or coffee.

Renata, the general manager, did an Easter quiz and Raffell which was great fun residents and family joined in.
