Feeding the guinea pigs, making chocolate crispie cakes, flower arranging, a good photo with a team member, and Peter out for a steak at his favourite restaurant, and Pauline ending the evening with a whisky and a smile. Not a bad rainy week! 🥰

Recently we have been colouring by the window, spending a moment in the garden with the roses, choosing lunch, and having a good conversation 💐 And a well-deserved congratulations to Sam, our Star of the Month, and domestic fairy!

June is Here!
Some meaningful moments recently ✨ A chat over a cup of tea, choosing a meal with care, exploring the garden together.

With the heatwave well and truly here, we have been making the most of it. Barbara has been out in the garden enjoying an ice lolly in the sunshine. When the sun is shining, we make sure everyone gets to enjoy it. Stay cool everyone. ❄

Another wonderful snapshot of life here. Wendy's family photos on her table sparked some great conversation and laughter first thing in the morning, whilst Peter treated everyone to some guitar playing. Donald enjoyed a lovely lunch!

What a week. Colouring for great-grandchildren, biscuit decorating, good company, and a VE Day celebration in the sunshine. Life at its best.

The lounge was set up for communion this week!
For many people here, church and communion have been part of life for years, so continuing those moments still matters.

The 81st Anniversary of VE Day was celebrated properly here with Union Jack bunting everywhere, music playing and lunch out under the marquees! #VEDay#Caring#Responsive#WellLed#frome#somerset
No-secco in the Garden!
Last week, we came together in the garden for afternoon tea, as part of Dementia UK's Time for a Cuppa event.
A huge thank you to kitchen assistant Nat, Registered Nurse Ria, and the whole team for making it so special!

It has been a lovely April here. 🌻
Donald enjoyed a quiet lunch in the dining room, while Peter made the most of the sunshine outside with a cold drink and a slice of chocolate cake!

Happy St George's Day! 📷
Today some of us joined @Catherine House Care Home on a visit to the fantastic Fleet Air Arm Museum at Yeovilton!
We have also been recently enjoying some hearty homemade lunches!

What a lovely few days we've had here! Elisabeth has been making the most of the sunshine, and there really is nothing quite like a bit of animal therapy to put a smile on your face! 🩷

From Donald's green-fingered greenhouse sessions, to Pauline catching up with the afternoon news, Janet picking out a beautiful sunflower on a minibus trip to the garden centre and Toni dancing the afternoon away.

Recently we've taken turns aiming, concentrating, then adjusting the grip slightly.
Later on, a newspaper was folded open and we enjoyed a nutritious lunch.
In another chair, a doll was being cradled, the sort of habit that stays with you..
#frome#somerset#adultsocialcare
Fresh nails catching the light by the window, a game of bingo mid-way through, and lunch taken at a steady pace. George showed off his prize, while our new pets corner is ready to explore!
Just a normal day. 🐾

Here’s a bit of what’s been going on lately, looking through old photo albums, sharing stories and recognising a few familiar faces along the way. 🌞

Happy Easter 🐰🌼💛
We spent some time out in the garden, hiding a few eggs and seeing who spotted them first. Some went looking, some just enjoyed being outside and watched it all happen.
#Caring#Effective#WellLed#easter
The sun stayed out long enough so enjoy sitting out in the courtyard, and before long there was a dog making the rounds, stopping wherever a hand was waiting!
