We are pleased to introduce our monthly Chef’s Table, where a small group of residents come together to taste and review new menu ideas. These sessions give residents the chance to share their opinions and help shape future menus, with popular dishes going on to feature on the menu the following month.

Today’s Chef’s Table showcased a vegetarian Indian menu, which was met with lots of positive feedback and a definite thumbs up from residents!

A Lovely Afternoon of Friendship & Tea

After a wonderful visit to our friends at Sherwood Park Care Home, we were delighted to return the invitation by welcoming them to Appleby House for a charming vintage afternoon tea.
It was such a lovely afternoon filled with fun, laughter, and plenty of chats as we spent time getting to know one another. Moments like these remind us how special shared experiences and new friendships can be.
We’re really looking forward to continuing this friendship and many more happy times together!

We are always so grateful to St. Joseph’s Church, who regularly visit Appleby House to deliver Catholic Communion, along with hymns, prayers, and quiet moments of reflection for our residents.
These visits are incredibly meaningful. For many of our residents, faith has been a lifelong comfort, guiding them through joyful times and challenging moments alike. Being able to continue their spiritual practices in a familiar and supportive setting honours their wishes, beliefs, and life stories.
The hymns spark memories, the prayers bring peace, and the act of receiving communion offers reassurance, connection, and a deep sense of belonging. It is a beautiful reminder that spiritual wellbeing is just as important as physical and emotional care.
Thank you to St. Joseph’s Church for your kindness, dedication, and for helping us ensure our residents feel respected, valued, and spiritually supported.

A Morning of Music, Memories & Vinyl!

While sorting out our activity room this morning, we uncovered a wonderful collection of old records – and what a discovery it turned out to be! Our residents gathered together in the Apple Conservatory to choose which records to play, reminiscing as we decided what to keep and what to part with.
We dusted off our beautiful old record player, a real reminder of times gone by, and chatted about how much technology has changed over the years. There was lots of talk about how nothing quite compares to good old vinyl – the crackle, the scratchy sound, and the memories that come flooding back.
Before long, the room was filled with music, laughter, and singing, as everyone joined in together. A truly lovely, feel-good morning full of nostalgia and shared moments

A fresh start hums a familiar tune,
A new chapter in a well-loved room.
Refreshed in warmth, the colours roam,
New beginnings… still feels like home!

Turning Blue Monday Bright at Appleby House!

Today we came together to mark Blue Monday in a positive and uplifting way. We talked about what makes us happy, shared encouraging thoughts, and chose positive quotes to help carry us through a sometimes-miserable January.

Using our thoughts and quotes, we created a Blue Monday mood board and also made flower-decorated positive quote pieces, adding colour, creativity and cheer. We chose our favourite happy songs to take to our desert island and enjoyed watching feel-good videos together.

As we chatted, we shared how much we are looking forward to spring, brighter days, colour returning to the gardens, and all the lovely things still to come. It was a beautiful reminder that positivity, creativity, music and togetherness can lift spirits — even in the greyest of months!

What a Wonderful Afternoon at Appleby House!

We enjoyed a truly lovely afternoon with our residents, made extra special by a visit from the fantastic entertainer Jimmy Kent. Jimmy treated us to a wonderful mix of music, including classics from the Rat Pack, Fleetwood Mac, Elvis, and many more.

With his charm as well as his talent, Jimmy had our residents completely captivated — so much so that one lucky resident even walked away with one of his cards! He was certainly the talk of Appleby afterwards, and our residents have already voted that they would love to see him return again soon.

Special thanks, as always, go to our friends at MACK Entertainment for bringing such wonderful entertainment to Appleby House, as always!

New Year’s Eve Celebrations at Appleby House

We saw in New Year’s Eve in the best possible way with the wonderful Eliza, who had our residents singing along to much-loved classics from the 50s, 60s and 70s. Hands were in the air, feet were tapping, and the room was filled with smiles, laughter and joy.
As we welcome the New Year, we would like to say a heartfelt thank you to all our families and friends for your continued support throughout the year — it truly means so much to us.

From everyone at Appleby House, we wish you a very happy, healthy and joyful New Year!
