Activities at Thistle Hill Care Home

Today we were honoured to celebrate the centenary of Connie's birth in 1923!

Constance, we would like to wish you all the best on this special day. Here's to an incredible century of memories and experiences! You have done more than most people could ever dream, and are such an inspiration to your family and friends!

Our Birthday Lady raised a little glass of pink gin and shared her birthday cake with everyone present.

She was happy to receive wishes from King Charles and Queen Consort but her eyes really sparkled when her family presented her with beautiful, handmade gift. Hundred years of memories in the pictures!

We've decided to throw a little party to lift our spirits. The theme was 60's Flower Power as it was a very colorful and vibrant era.

Thank you Rebekah Austin for another excellent performance.

Residents and staff had a great time dancing, singing and sipping cocktails and mocktails.

Music brought back memories and after the party we had a discussion about concerts and festivals residents attended back in the day.

Residents at Thistle Hill Care Centre were proud to celebrate all things Yorkshire on Yorkshire Day, August 1st. Yorkshire Day was first celebrated in 1975 in Beverly. The day commemorates the Battle of Minden between Britain-Hanover and French forces in 1759, along with the emancipation of British Empire slaves in 1834, for which Yorkshire MP William Wilberforce fought a tireless campaign.

Residents across our services had a fantastic time joining Mandy Morrow for a virtual walking tour to learn about the ‘Herstory’ of Mayfair. The Mayfair of Nightingales may be long gone but it still holds a 20th century charm. Birthplace to the late Queen Elizabeth II, home to one of WWII's most decorated female war heroes and a tale of a wealthy Aristocrat and one of France's favourite designers.

We were delighted to take a walk down memory lane and discover stories from one of London's most iconic areas.  The experience was truly enjoyed by all.

In celebration of National Ice Cream Day residents at Thistle Hill joined Wall’s Ice Cream for a virtual event.

We've learnt about the history of the Walls brand from launch in 1922 through major innovations such as the launch of Mr Whippy, Cornetto, Viennetta, Twister, Carte d’Or and more.

Residents and staff enjoyed a singalong to Cornetto classic ads and best-of-all, ice cream tasting session!

Residents across our homes had a fantastic time during a special live virtual event in celebration on National Ice Cream Day. Wall’s team took us on a great journey through history, sharing fascinating details about the brand since its launch in 1922. We learned about major innovations such as the introduction of Mr Whippy, Cornetto, Viennetta, Twister, and Carte d'Or.

Residents were treated to a singalong to Cornetto classic ads, an interactive quiz about fun Wall’s facts and best-of-all, an ice-cream tasting session. It was a delightful experience for everyone, especially our ice-cream lovers.
