Easter in the care home šŸ£ šŸ« šŸŖŗ

Each resident received a choc treat on their morning tray to remind them of the date.
It was also lovely to see some more engagement from different residents to help out with our Easter ā€˜bakingā€™ whether that was separating cupcake cases or crushing shredded wheat. We made 3 batches that were all throughly enjoyed šŸ˜‹
Conversations were had about lent and we discovered that most wouldnt be willing to sacrifice chocolate (who can blame them! šŸ«) and of course we made our own decorations for the occasion.

No puzzle is too difficult for us! (Unless itā€™s more than 100 pieces šŸ¤«)

Letā€™s take ourselves back to Valentineā€™s Day a day that is especially difficult for some of our residents who have lost their beloved ones, the ones they chose to spend their lives with. Itā€™s important that we give them the time of day to speak fondly of them whilst we listen to their memories. We created a memorial tree with these names.
We also asked our residents for knowledge on a happy relationship, some of them defo gave us some good answers!
We had a craft team come in to help the residents create a picture and we made our own sewing crafts to decorate. šŸ©·ā¤ļø

A special mention to those of you who are still following us who have lost your loves whilst in our care. RIP ā¤ļøā€šŸ©¹

āœØJan - March update āœØ

Weā€™d like to apologise for our lack of social media upkeep as we know lots of you like to know what we get up to at old Raven house. You can expect to see weekly updates going forward!

We hope all our lovely families have had a smashing start to 2026 and the year brings much positivity!

Now back to our residentsā€¦
Weā€™ve kept our minds sharp by playing a variety of games and bingo.
Our bodies moving in Sonals exercise classes. Weā€™ve enjoyed ourselves socially by attending our entertainers afternoons and now weā€™re all looking forward to some sun ā˜€ļøšŸŒ·

This week we have been overjoyed and blessed with 10s of bunches of flowers from our local Sainsbury's. We canā€™t express our gratitude enough, thank you so much šŸ¤

We recruited some helpers to join in the lovely sunshine to arrange some bouquets to their liking. We then spread them around the home filling it with colour! Making sure to put bunches in residents rooms who arenā€™t able to get about as much or prefer their privacy too šŸ«¶šŸ»
Inevitably we ran out of vases, so to express our appreciation to our staff we handed the remaining bunches out to our hard workers.

In honour of Motherā€™s Day we felt it was important to reminisce with our residents about their mothers who have passed, one simple question of ā€œIf you could speak to your mother now, what would you say?ā€ Sparked some heartfelt and insightful conversations.

We celebrated this special day by welcoming families of our residents to join in making flower bouquets and enjoy some afternoon tea. The bouquets created are as beautiful as the women we celebrate šŸ„°

Here are some photos from the rest of the week's garden centre visits. 5 days, 5 different garden centres and lots of wide eyed wonder at the amazing, extravagant displays, not to mention some delicious cakes with our afternoon tea to enjoy!

This week we are treating ourselves to some Garden centre visits, to enjoy the Christmas displays, and maybe a hot chocolate or coffee and cake. We kicked off yesterday with a visit to our most local garden centre, Conkers, and today we went to the farthest away we are planning to visit, Keydell in Horndean, to enjoy the wonderful Winter Woodland walk. By the end of the week we are hoping that everyone who would like to visit a garden centre will have been able to.

Last week we spent the whole week celebrating our cultural diversity. Our lovely team shared their favourite (delicious!) foods, traditional costumes, something of their homelands and, on Wednesday we were treated to Nepalese and Indian dance. We also asked everyone to tell us why they are proud of their culture or nation. There were some lovely thoughtful messages posted on our board, and the best will be getting a prize! This is our third annual celebration, which we kicked off with a quintessential English afternoon tea. A special week. Thankyou so much to everyone who joined in!
