We had a busy week at The Meadowcroft, with Luna new year, pancake day and our first visit from Poppy The PAT dog and her human companion Christian.

Luna New Year
We kicked of with some facts about China followed by looking up our Chinese horoscope and finished with trying, or should that be tying our hand, at using chop sticks. Everyone did really well using the chopstick as for many it was their first time!

Shrove Tuesday/pancake day
We went flipping mad for our pancakes. The residents having flip the pancake races and ending with deciding what they would like in them. This was a great session for reminiscing, physical activity, socialising and a cooking session all in one!

Poppy was the most anticipated and welcomed visitor to the home this week. She brought so much joy to the residents, particularly those who are less able to leave their rooms. Poppy certainly wasn't short of stokes cuddles and even some treats.

We had the pleasure this week of having the talented Miranthis family play for the residents.
There was a superb mix of classical and popular music.
The residents were all totally enthralled by the family of one of our residents.
The most asked question, after the concert, was how do you travel around with the harp?
We would like to say a huge thank you to the family for their time and wonderful recital.

We started this week off by keeping up our New Years resolution of keeping fit and promptly ruined it by sampling our home made ice cream! this was made with out the use of a machine or freezer.๐Ÿจ๐Ÿ˜‹
The Meadowcroft then welcomed St Mary Magdalene Church Wandsworth common for their first communion service of the year.

A new year, and a gentle resolution

The new year often brings small resolutions โ€“ to learn something new, to feel more prepared, or to take better care of the people we love.

If thoughts about an older loved one have been quietly sitting with you, making 2026 the year you become care wise doesnโ€™t have to mean big decisions. It can start with understanding your options, having open conversations and knowing where to turn for trusted advice.

Our free Warmth of Care resources are here to help you explore care at your own pace, whenever youโ€™re ready.
