🍽️ A Valentine’s Feast to Remember at The Firs 🍽️

Our amazing chefs truly outdid themselves and treated our residents to a delicious three-course Valentine’s meal! ❤️

To start, residents enjoyed homemade tomato and red pepper soup, followed by a classic favourite of scampi and chips. To finish, everyone indulged in the sweetest treat — love heart brownies! 💘🍫

It was a wonderful afternoon filled with great food, happy chatter, and plenty of smiles. A huge thank you to our fantastic kitchen team for making the day so special for everyone.

❤️ Valentine’s Bingo Fun at The Firs ❤️

Following on from our lovely Valentine’s Day celebrations, our residents enjoyed a fun-filled game of Valentine’s Bingo! 💘 There were smiles all around, lots of friendly competition, and of course a few lucky winners. It was a wonderful way to keep the celebrations going and bring everyone together for an afternoon of laughter and joy.

❤️ Spreading the Love at The Firs ❤️

Today at The Firs, we had a wonderful time getting creative with some Valentine’s crafts! Our residents made beautiful heart decorations using wool, wrapping and winding to create colourful designs – each one completely unique ❤️

As a special early Valentine’s treat, we surprised our residents with a small bag of sweets and a personalised message sharing what we love most about each and every one of them. From their kindness and humour to their resilience and warm smiles, there is so much to celebrate.

It was such a lovely afternoon filled with laughter, creativity and heartfelt moments ❤️

We feel very lucky to care for such incredible people every day.

🐶🎵 Paws, Songs & Smiles 🎵🐶

We’ve had such a lovely day here at The Firs!

This morning, we enjoyed a special visit from Winnie, who brought plenty of smiles, gentle cuddles, and lots of wagging tails. Animal visits always brighten everyone’s day and create such special moments.

In the afternoon, our wonderful volunteer Graham joined us for a musical session filled with classic love songs, getting us all in the Valentine’s Day spirit. There was singing, toe tapping, and even a few romantic memories shared along the way.

A perfect day full of warmth, music, and companionship. 💗✨

💈 A Fresh Cut & A Big Smile 💈

At The Firs, we believe that moving into a care home shouldn’t mean giving up the everyday routines that make life feel normal and independent.

This week, we took one of our lovely residents out for a trip to the barbers. Maintaining those familiar routines is so important for confidence, dignity, and overall wellbeing.

He absolutely loves his fresh new look, and we think he looks very smart indeed!

Supporting independence and personal choice will always be at the heart of what we do.

🐦 Bringing Nature a Little Closer 🐦

Our residents have been loving watching our new bird friends visit the kindly donated bird houses 🏡
They’ve enjoyed it so much that we’ve decided to get bird feeders that attach directly to our windows, so everyone can see the visitors up close and personal!

We can’t wait for the birds to start visiting the windows 🐥✨

✨ Our First Wish Tree Wish Granted ✨

We are so happy to share that the very first wish from our Wish Tree has been granted! 🌳💫

Our resident’s wish was a simple but lovely one – a trip out to a café for a slice of cake. Once there, she decided to treat herself instead to a comforting cup of tea and a plate of pancakes smothered in Nutella 🥞☕✨
Delicious, cosy, and very well enjoyed!

It’s moments like these that remind us how special the little wishes can be 💕
