Activities at Red Oaks Care Home

Many of our residents are finding new talent's.  We have a great Art Club at Red Oaks and some residents that have never drawn or painted before are finding they have the skill's to enjoy this group.   One resident in particular, Doreen, is 100 years old and learning to draw portrait's with our Art Club leader, and although Cynthia's eyesight is poor she has joined our club and is able to see the thick black outlines of pictures that she loves to colour.

 

 

 

 

Judy a resident here at Red Oaks was joined by Ron her husband as a respite resident, just in time for us to help them celebrate their 58 wedding anniversary.  Ron talked to Judy and our staff so fondly about their wedding day and the years they have been married.  The team  took great pleasure in making this day special for the couple by decorating their table, buying flower and of course creating that special meal that included a home made cake.

Congratulations to staff who completed the St Barnabas Midnight Walk   Well done to 8 members of staff from Red Oaks who participated in the St Barnabas 'light up Worthing' midnight walk this weekend. The staff walked over 7 miles through the night,  into the small hours of the morning,  walking along the Worthing seaside front dressed in colourful outfits. Staff were very proud of their achievement raising over £500 for the hospice.    Our residents were very impressed and loved the pictures

Residents and Staff had such a brilliant treat with a Tickled Pink Production of Around the World in 60 minutes.

Joining the captain of the ship we sailed off on a luxury cruise with Tickled Pink's fabulous entertainers. Stopping at exotic ports all over the world, with favourite songs including Viva Espagne, Walk Like an Egyptian, That's Amore and then we all joined the Tickled Pink party and waved our flags as our ship sailed back to good old Blighty

Resident always enjoy trips out to the local community in our mini bus, visiting the local garden centres are a favourite with residents.

On the outing this week to the local garden centre Rushfields residents were treated to tea and cake at their coffee shop residents before enjoying walking around and looking at the new season flowers and plants.

The beginning of the change of season and the new opportunities to change the plants in our garden were top of our conversation on how our new autumn winter displays would look like in our extensive gardens and courtyard garden

The famous Henfield Peacocks decided to spend the afternoon in the Red Oaks gardens much to the amusement and curiosity of our residents and relatives. The whole afternoon was spent talking about the Peacocks. Where are they from? What do they eat? Where do they live?
