🎉 Astley View Care Home Turns 2! 🎉

Yesterday we celebrated our 2nd anniversary, and what better way to honour our incredible team than with a sparkling Team Awards Night?

The atmosphere was filled with magic, excitement, and genuine joy as we all came together to recognise the very best of what care is all about. 🌟

We were proud to present awards across several categories, including Dignity in Care, Dementia Carer, and the very special Residents’ Choice Award.

It was a fantastic evening from start to finish — complete with karaoke, dancing, and a glass (or two!) of wine. 🍷💃🎤

We are truly blessed with the most wonderful team caring for our residents — and the most amazing residents who care just as much for our team. 🩷

Knitting and Nattering!
This afternoon, some of our residents enjoyed a lovely session of knitting and chatting as part of the November Knitting Challenge to raise funds for Dementia UK. The needles have been busy, and we’re making fantastic progress on our blanket — it’s coming together beautifully!

Fun and Games on Highgrove and Clarence!
Today our residents had a fantastic time playing a variety of board games and enjoying some friendly competition. Activities like these are a wonderful way to keep minds active and engaged, especially for those living with dementia — plus, there were plenty of smiles and laughter along the way! Everyone had such a great time and can’t wait to do it all again soon.

Today we had a visit from Steve Williams talks - a local historian. He spoke of the Battlefields and Poppy fields of the first and second world wars. The residents really enjoyed the talk and it sparked several conversations afterwards and time to reminisce.

🍁 A Wonderful Autumn Day at Astley View!🍁

This morning, we wrapped up warm and headed out for a lovely autumn walk, admiring the colourful leaves and crisp air. 🍂

When we got back, our residents spent some time practising their bow-tying skills, getting ready for our Christmas wreath-making sessions — it’s never too early for a bit of festive fun! 🎀✨

This afternoon was full of smiles and laughter as we enjoyed our Seated Sports activities — with chair exercises, ball games, and of course, everyone’s favourite… the parachute game! 🎈💛

What a lovely day filled with movement, laughter, and friendship. 🌟

Remembrance Weekend 🌹

This weekend, our home was filled with love, reflection, and togetherness as residents, families, and staff came together to honour our brave service men and women through the decades.

Even our four-legged friend, Eddie the dog, dressed up to pay his respects! 🐶❤️

We created a beautiful Remembrance scrapbook, featuring messages from our D-Day tree, and spent time sharing stories, memories, and music over a comforting cup of tea and a slice of cake. 🍰☕

A heartfelt thank you to Pastor Mark and his congregation for leading a moving service filled with hymns, readings, and timeless poems such as Flanders Fields and To Remember the Fallen.

Lest we forget. 🌺

🎆 What a week we’ve had at Astley View! 🎇

We’ve been getting into the Bonfire Night spirit — our residents had a fantastic time creating their very own Guy Fawkes, and some even relived their younger days with sparklers in the garden before watching the fireworks light up the sky. ✨

Our creative side has been shining too! 🍂🎨 Residents have been busy making stunning autumn wreaths, which are now proudly hanging on their doors and bringing a cosy seasonal touch to the home. 🍁💛

The laughter continued with a hilarious “newspaper race” — residents went head-to-head with the Astley View team to collect newspapers using only their feet! 🦶🗞 Their fancy footwork was unstoppable and definitely showed the team how it’s done! 😄👏(video in the comments section)

We rounded off the week with a heartwarming ‘Music and Memories’ session — filling the home with stories, smiles, and classic songs from legends like Billie Holiday. 🎶💫

It’s been a week full of creativity, laughter, and the perfect amount of Astley View chaos that makes our home so special. ❤️🔥
