Activities at Thistle Hill Care Home

What a wonderful day out as the garden cente we had.  Looking at all the wonderful plants and colours and finishing with a coffee and a cake. 

In honour of Father’s Day, we held a Golden Ticket Afternoon Tea, and the very talented Richard & Honey entertained us with a selection of popular songs. It was wonderful to see so many visitors, once again joining us in Ripley’s dining room, for our second Golden Ticket event.

Thistle Hill in Knaresborough marked the 80^th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day in style by throwing a 1940s afternoon tea party to remember.  The home was decorated in red, white and blue and residents and staff dressed up in their 1940s-inspired glad rags and enjoyed an afternoon of big band music and dancing.

It was a beautiful day when we visited Moorland Nurseries and Garden Centre to look at all the lovely plants and ornaments. After a good look around we also visited The Lime Tree Cafe, Knaresborough for a refreshing brew.

Staff at Thistle Hill Care Home in Knaresborough have opened up their doors to welcome the emergency services personnel in their local area.  

As a way of saying thank you to the paramedics, nurses, police officers and other emergency services workers who don’t always have time to go home or back to their workplace on their break, the team and the residents of Thistle Hill will provide free food and drink to all emergency service staff.

Wonderful day creating flower arrangements. Susie created a beautiful two-tone vase of roses to decorate our reception desk, while Malcolm and May created a mixed vase, and Hazel worked mainly with the carnations to create a large vase of pink and red.

The very talented Richard played guitar and sang for us, while Honey, his gorgeous cockapoo, stole the show at the end with her tricks.

We had a visit from Red Kite Nursery for an Easter Egg Hunt; Richard & Honey wowed us with their show; we had a Bucks Fizz Easter Quiz residents had lots of laughs at their own Easter Egg Hunt; we had a Golden Ticket Easter Afternoon Tea; on Sunday every resident was visited with an Easter Egg or cuddly toy and in the afternoon we had a Prosecco Party and a Bowling Competition!

What a wonderful afternoon spent singing and dancing to all the oldies.  Rebekka really knows how to get us all up dancing and singing.  Residents enjoyed some of the old favourite songs. Wonderful time had by all!!
