Here at Michaelstowe we love to watch 'I'm a Celebrity Get me Out or Here' and decided to take part in some bush tucker trials and eat some spiders and worms (all jelly of course)... 🐛🕷
Leonard the Bearded Dragon also made an appearance 🦎

As part of Michaelstowe's 100 Good Deeds Challenge, we’ve been celebrating the small acts of kindness that make the biggest difference. This week has been full of heart-warming moments. 💛
Joan created a beautiful, personalised Christmas tree decoration for our Handyperson, Steve, as a special thank you for all the hard work he does behind the scenes. And yesterday, our residents had a wonderful time making appreciation cards for our care team, then personally delivering them and lighting up the home with smiles and surprise.
It’s amazing to see how kindness shared becomes joy multiplied. ✨

This week, our lovely resident Carole teamed up with our amazing housekeeper Naomi for a little shopping trip to the local supermarket, to pick up some rice for our homemade sweet and sour chicken lunch — a real team effort! 🍚🍗
Outings like these are such an important part of life here at Michaelstowe. They help our residents stay connected with the local community, enjoy familiar routines, and share meaningful moments beyond the home. 💛
A big thank-you to Naomi for making the trip such a fun and engaging experience — and to Carole for being our shopping superstar!
