Heavers court supporting residents with Symmetrical Butterfly Painting and Card-Making for their Loved Ones. we used a fun and creative method called symmetrical painting. The residents folded their papers in half, added small blobs of paint on one side, then gently pressed and unfolded the paper to reveal a beautiful mirror image. On the front side, we turned these colourful designs into handmade cards for their closest loved ones, adding stickers and decorations to make each one special and personal.

Today Heavers Court welcomed the Spare Tyres Theatre Company, a charity that delivers sensory workshops for people living with dementia.
The session began with a lively warm-up to music, which got everyone moving and in great spirits. The theme for today was nature, and residents thoroughly enjoyed getting creative with their art projects. Activities included printing leaves with paint to create beautiful patterns, and using marker pens to add colourful and interesting effects to the leaves.
Residents also had the opportunity to explore and handle a variety of natural objects such as twigs and acorns, enhancing the sensory experience.
The session was filled with smiles and laughter — everyone had a fantastic time, and the atmosphere was joyful and engaging throughout.

On Wednesday 13th November, our lifestyle team organised a small initiative as part of World Kindness Day to encourage our lovely staff to show their appreciation for one another and their dedication to helping our residents to Live Well with Dementia through kindness!

Although our staff practice kindness every day and commit daily "acts of kindness" as part of their warm and devoted approach to care, this fun initiative allowed us to strengthen staff and resident rapport and got us thinking outside the box.

Staff picked from envelopes containing different random acts of kindness and a pink heart on which to write their appreciation for another staff member.

Their heartfelt messages inspired feelings of gratitude between staff and helped foster a culture of mutual acknowledgement of our team work.

This little challenge was met with enthusiasm as staff participated in...
- Putting on a resident's favourite music and having a boogie
- Arranging a phone call between a resident and their loved one
- Supporting a resident to make their own cup of tea (just how they like it!)
- Braiding and styling a resident's hair to give them a fresh hairstyle
- Taking a resident out for a walk in the garden
- Giving a resident a relaxing hand massage
- Painting a resident's nails in a fancy colour

And many more!

In the spirit of Harvest Festival and as part of this year’s celebrations, Heavers Court care home collected food donations from staff, residents and their relatives and friends to support:
Guiding Hands Organisation CIC
– a local foodbank carrying out inspiring work delivering free food parcels to those most in need in our area.

Our residents collaborated on decorating our donation box by painting, cutting out and arranging autumnal leaves.
The outpour of support was heart-warming, as our donation box quickly filled up with tins, cans, jars, pasta, rice, biscuits, crackers… you name it!

Two of our lovely residents then helped us to drop off the donations, which were welcomed with warmth and gratitude.

We are so pleased we were able to give back to the community in this small way with help from all the wonderful staff, residents and relatives at Heavers 😊

Our residents showcased their artistic and expressive talents in the Heavers Court Art Exhibition hosted on Saturday 28th September on site as part of the National Day of Arts in Care Homes.

We were joined by Croydon Council's Commissioning and Contract Manager Tristyn Eddings, and Eldon Housing’s Operations Manager Edison Galarza, as well as many relatives and staff, who enjoyed the wonderfully touching artwork that residents collaborated on together.

The themes for our art exhibition were:
- 'Nature' - including flowers, trees, special outdoor memories and still life
- 'Me and My Life' - including art reminiscent of the resident's homes, and handprint art that conveyed their identity within our Heavers Court community.

The shared effort and enthusiasm that residents poured into these pieces of art was visible in every art piece.
The residents enjoyed this when viewing the exhibition – feeling pride for themselves and each other and celebrating their talents!

The artwork featured a variety of mediums, including:
- Poster paints, acrylic paints, paint sticks
- Chalks, pencils, crayons
- Templates, cut-outs
- Cardstock, cardboard, paper, canvas

As well as different methods and art styles, such as:
- Technology art systems (RITA)
- Paper sculpture using cardstock
- Stencils
- Hand printing / finger painting
- Collage

The residents’ joint canvas art piece was so loved by visitors from the community, we were convinced to submit this piece as part of Croydon Council’s Challenge Perceptions, Celebrate Diversity art exhibition!
The resident’s artwork will be seen amongst other beautiful art as part of commemorations for Disability History Month.
Please see the poster attached for details of this Art Exhibition hosted in Croydon in November.

On Saturday 20th July the residents of Heavers Court enjoyed an active day full of competitive fun and Olympics-inspired entertainment as part of the Big Care UK Sports Day initiative.

We opened the event with a performance by Paul Betts, playing an eclectic mix of old-school tunes and catchy songs that had many residents singing along. Sprinkled in were familiar 50s/60s numbers, with residents guessing which popular films the songs were from. Some boogied in their seat, while others were up on the stage showing off their best Twist dance moves!

Following the joyous dancing came competition time!

Residents participated in a range of amusing and stimulating games to compete for medals (and bragging rights!). Encouraging cheers and game faces were on as everyone tried their hand at the range of sporty activities.
From balloon tap, to darts, to target throwing - everyone who wished to join participated enthusiastically, while others watched excitedly while their friends took their shots.

There were unexpected winners, laughter and silliness! Just take a look at some of our lovely winners giving us their best smiles 😊

Last week the residents of Heavers Court were treated to a performance full of “Britain’s old style “holiday camp” entertainment” that had them singing and clapping along from the very start!

The performance was full of musical numbers with choreography, costume changes and plenty of humour. It included “songs from the past, both evocative and tuneful”, which our residents recognised and loved – some were even up and dancing during the performance!

After all that dancing, singing, and belly laughter we all enjoyed a slice of moreish red velvet cake.
