Wow—what a month it’s been! As April comes to a close, we’re excited to share just a glimpse of everything we’ve been up to. From cooking and trying out new games to enjoying fresh air, celebrating milestone birthdays, tackling puzzles, and so much more—it’s been a wonderful, activity-filled month for our residents! 🌸🎉

Last week we were proud to take part in Parkinson’s Awareness Week, spending time learning, sharing memories, and enjoying activities together with our residents 💙

Throughout the week, residents joined us for a variety of meaningful sessions including a discussion on what Parkinson’s is, a short educational video, and a lovely reminiscence session where we looked back on our very first Parkinson’s charity event.

We also enjoyed a sensory and dexterity craft session in the chapel, helping to keep hands busy and minds active, and finished the week with a wonderful blue-themed tea party with cake, biscuits, and a fun quiz that brought lots of smiles and laughter.

It was a fantastic week of learning, connection, and support — helping us better understand Parkinson’s while empowering and celebrating our residents. 💙

Wow, what an Easter we had! 🐣🌷
Our residents spent the day decorating, enjoying plenty of chocolate 🍫, and sharing a beautiful meal together. We also held an Easter egg hunt throughout the home, which brought lots of smiles and laughter.
Thank you to everyone who participated — together we raised over £100! 🎉 The egg-citing hamper was won by one of our very own residents, who was absolutely delighted to say the least. 🧺🥚
From everyone here at Cartyne Care Home, we hope you all had an egg-stravagant Easter! 💛🐰

Following pictures for our 🍎 Nutrition and Hydration Week 🍎💧
Residents enjoyed taking part in a variety of activities to promote healthy eating and hydration, including smoothie design, nutrition quizzes, favourite food discussions, and our fruit tea and milkshake parties.
Morning sessions focused on learning about hydration, fortified foods, and making healthy choices. Smoothies, milkshakes, and creative snacks were offered from the tea trolley, encouraging residents to try new options in a fun and supportive environment.
We even had a demonstration of a Rose of Jericho plant, showing how it reanimates when placed in water, helping to visually highlight the importance of keeping hydrated.
A great week of learning, engagement, and enjoyment for everyone involved.

🦷✨ Oral Health Awareness Day ✨🦷

Today we will be talking all about the importance of keeping our teeth clean and healthy! From regular brushing to showing off our biggest, brightest smiles 😁 — good oral hygiene helps us feel confident and happy every day.

This also links perfectly with our Nutrition & Hydration Week, as what we eat and drink plays a huge role in keeping our teeth strong and healthy. 🥦💧

Let’s keep up those great habits:
✔️ Brush twice a day
✔️ Drink plenty of water
✔️ Choose tooth-friendly foods

Keep smiling everyone! 😄
