How do residential care homes celebrate national holidays?

If you know anything about Offmore Farm, you know that we love a celebration! And we'll find any excuse to get out the decorations and activities...

Lots of you enjoyed the photos of our gorgeous residents enjoying Halloween recently, and with Christmas and New Year soon giving way to Valentine's, St Patrick's Day and the Spring Equinox, we thought you'd like to read about what goes on here during special days...

Celebrating national holidays in residential care is one of the best ways to make a fun day of activities, conversation and reminiscence.

It means a great deal to the entire team to hear how our attentive care helps residents overcome challenges.

It's a common misconception that care homes are full of people who've lost their zest for life or are depressed, so it's heartening to be able to share this testimonial to prove that people not only enjoy living with us, but actually regain their independence and find a new lease of life!

For the Fallen

With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children,
England mourns for her dead across the sea.
Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit,
Fallen in the cause of the free.

Solemn the drums thrill: Death august and royal
Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres.
There is music in the midst of desolation
And a glory that shines upon our tears.

They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Poem by Robert Laurence Binyon (1869-1943), published in The Times newspaper on 21 September 1914.

What a special delivery we had today!
The pupils from Offmore Primary School took the time to create and hand-deliver personalised birthday cards for every single resident at Offmore Farm. It was such a thoughtful surprise.
Our residents absolutely loved seeing the artwork and reading the lovely messages. Thank you, for making us feel so happy.

Whether you're going through the move yourself, or are supporting someone else who is moving into residential care, these tips will help you all feel more settled:

1. Visit for the day - get familiar before the move
2. Stay for a short respite break - eat, sleep and get active in the setting
3. Keep talking - share your feelings with each other and understanding people
4. Pack favourite and familiar items - make yourself comfortable
5. Visit often and stay involved - there's so much to experience
6. Bring interesting things when you visit - you'll have lots to talk about!

These tips are taken from a longer blog that aims to help ease the transition into full time care. You can read the full post here: https://offmorefarm.co.uk/settling-in-to-offmore-farm-residential-home/, or get in touch if you'd like to talk about your personal circumstances.

Our residents have had a wonderful morning getting inspired by Bonfire Night! They spent time creating beautiful hand-crafted paintings inspired by the famous line “Remember, remember the 5th of November.” The creativity and colour in each piece were fantastic, and it was lovely to see everyone sharing memories and enjoying the seasonal celebrations together.

We hope everyone enjoys the fireworks safely tonight!
