Activities at Thistle Hill Care Home

The children from Red Kite Nursery joined us for a special visitor this week. We welcomed Rob Hutchinson Magic into the home to put on a magnificent magic show. 

Residents and children gathered as Rob performed magic tricks and created balloon animals for all. A huge thank you to Rob for coming. 

Residents at Thistle Hill had a very enjoyable visit from local PCSO Ronnie Woods, which took place on 28th October.  Residents enjoyed telling stories from their past and listening to some of PCSO Ronnie’s stories. Resident Les was won over by Ronnie. He gave her his heart!

We were delighted to welcome local paramedics to the home for a refreshing drink and delicious cake as they were passing.

We welcome all Emergency Services Personnel to join us here at Thistle Hill Care Centre. If you are looking for somewhere to take a break our door is always open, we have hot tea and cake for all!

We love an afternoon Boogie at Thistle Hill. Fergal our Regional Dementia Support popped on 'Dancing Queen' and our very own beautiful dancing queen Hazel was up singing and dancing.

It was a day filled full of treats and no tricks for our residents and their loved ones as we celebrated Halloween.  This morning, residents of our three houses enjoyed a themed coffee morning filled with themed treats,  refreshments and plenty of hearty chatter amongst our residents. 

The treats didn't stop there, as this afternoon we welcomed Joseph Braithwaite on his debut at Thistle Hill as he dazzled our residents with a selection of hits from the likes of Tom Jones, Frank Sinatra and Elvis.  A huge “Thank You” goes out to Ewelina and her brilliant team in the kitchen for keeping the party going with a stunning array of sweet and savoury treats.

What a wild time we had at Thistle Hill Care home this week when we had a visit from our furious friends. Residents and staff enjoyed having a chat and a cuddle, especially with the owl. 

Fun fact...there are more than 150 species of owls in the world. Amazing creatures. We look forward to seeing them again soon.

Local entertainer Joanne from Musical Moments performed a selection of remembrance themed classics including We’ll Meet Again and Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag and Smile, Smile, Smile. Residents had a wonderful toe tapping morning.

This weekend Residents, families and staff were visited by Harrogate car Enthusiasts. They kindly brought their classic cars along which got everyone reminiscing. Residents enjoyed looking at all the cars, chatting to the drivers and watching them come and go
